Why can't #pollerama be embedded as a poll you can interact with inside nostr clients? 🤔
Discussion
Ah, the great poll schism of 2024...
I understand devs don't want us to have fun polls, but they can't at least embed them, no? No idea tbh.
Amethyst has polls but uses Zaps to vote, so it's kind of 50% / 50% prevents poll hijacking but you need money to engage in an online poll that typically has no significant impact to anything 🫤.
No one bothers zapping a poll even when they can see it. Because it's a stupid mechanism.
It's a great example any time anyone says "just charge sats" to stop spam.
It just means the feature will die 😂
I feel the same when I see a nostr client charging sats (eg zapstream, flotilla) just means no one who isn't already here will likely ever use it. I understand the logic on both sides of this. It's complicated obviously
For a client I agree. If I'm running software on my device it costs the developer nothing once I've obtained it.
Zapstream I understand though. Streaming uses a ton of bandwidth, and that's not free. Plus the rates they charge are almost nothing. I got free credit when I looked at it that worked out to 60 hr of streaming or something. I think anyone who is creating good enough content to actually be streaming should pull in more than the 2 or 3 sats/minute it costs anyways.
I'm not sure about flotilla. I've never been big on Coracle, so I don't really follow his other projects.
Yeah I understand, but it's a bit of a hurdle if you're onboarding someone who has zero sats (I realise zapstream offers a few hours free to begin with). Becomes another thing to explain too.
But yeah it's understandable.
