The results are the same, filtering depends on how YOU want to filter them.

Yeah, it's the relays that determine the quality of the results, not the clients.

Relays or clients, user-set client filters or hard-coded client filters, it all leads to a quantum soup one way or the other. Nostr just doesn't do consistency. And the whole point of a poll is that everyone is 100% sure everyone else is seeing the exact same numbers. Otherwise it's not a poll, it's an interpretation generator.

Could work for NIP-29 groups though.

I legit don't care what other people see.

I want to know what my frens think and have some fun.

Y'all are overthinking this.

💯

Overthinking for the win. So many Nostr issues stem from underthinking and just smashing something out. Case in point: NIP-04. Couple days of whoo-wee followed by couple years of pain.

Polls have been a topic for years.

Subjectivity is ok in this case imo (OP's follows, my follows). And of course they work great in closed groups.

Closed groups for the win. Im slowly accepting that NIP29 is the best thing in Nostr, despite all the speed bumps

the fact that it's the most hated NIP still baffles me, one of the best things we have for sure.

I think it gets some hate because it upends the physics of Nostr. It's like Galileo coming in and going "No actually it's the other way around y'all.".

For most content types, BOTH publishing in the unglobal feed or in 1 moderated community suck.

There's a middle way tho.

The relay group is the only way to compete with larger groups like those on Telegram.

:90percent:

How large do you think NIP-29 groups can get while maintaining a half-decent UX?

With a high-performance server, I think it could support a group with up to ten thousand members.

Targeting to multiple #commuikeys fixes the quantum soup, while not trying your publications to one community forever.

I need people to poke holes on this approach.

The lack of a global default state to work with is a real one and keeps coming up for nearly every content type.

I also need a mobile app that fixes my typos before sending :joke:
