Posts spontaneously combust except polls
Are Mastodon polls anonymous and private?
Let's clear it up:
1. When you vote on a poll, your instance knows your vote: your account and what your vote was.
2. If the poll is run by someone on a separate instance, that instance knows your vote.
3. The person who created the poll does not know individual votes - only the tallies.
4. Other participants and spectators can only retrieve the tallies.
TL;DR: instance admins can see votes if they know where to look.
