@gabek Let's see.

> features that only work within a single silo

Wrong, polls federate.

> Why?

Because it's the 6th most requested feature and Misskey already has them

> Then everybody, everywhere has to build support for them, too, to be compatible

Misskey already has them

> Just because @Gargron wants to be like Twitter.

Pee pee poo poo

@Gargron
Uuu where can I find the list of more requested features, if it is availaible?
@gabek

@Gargron @gabek also i don't understand how "everyone has to build support for them" is a complaint, because isn't that how everything is by default? you have to implement stuff, it won't implement itself. the only way to save reimplementing something is if you all use the same library in the same language

@trwnh @Gargron @gabek

Yeah, and... I'm not much for polls, so I just won't put them up.

@trwnh @Gargron @gabek

well yeah, people who use alternative software than mastodon have to build compatibility but that's the case whenever you make *any* change

that's part of the burden you take on when you decide to fork software that is intended to serve as a common protocol/standard

@mal @gabek it's not even a fork though. it's a new feature using activitypub. we cant assume that Create Note is the only valid usage of this network. it's fine to Create Question, and other implementations handle it however they may, same as masto converts Create Article or Create Video into simple statuses.

@gabek brah, you're complaining about being silo'd while your main account seems to be on freakin .social, like you're not even a pleroma dev or even a pleroma user, you know, literally the only people who might have a valid complaint like this. anyway this feature rules and y'all can stop getting mad any time @Gargron does literally anything any time now

@Gargron @gabek ...his power increases daily
