The new polling features on Hive are an exciting way to build understanding of our communities and to work together to improve many things.
We are pretty used to seeing polls on other social networks, but Hive is unique in that every participant's responses are tied to an account which contains public economic/financial data. So this poll seeks to shine a light on the current mood around this topic.
Do we need to consider privacy more on this chain? Are there other relevant issues at stake that need to be uncovered and discussed?
It's over to you!
Wishing you well,
As more draconian laws are passed, I have more reason to be glad I maintain pseudonymity on Hive. I am a very open person, and have had to be literally beaten before I learned to look before I leap when it comes to sharing.
Were I not pseudonymous on Hive, I would have chosen the last option 'Totally unsafe', because the Canadian Outrage Police could use my posts and poll responses to prosecute me for making trannies angry, or smth. The US prosecution of various foreign parties under US law, such as Assange (and many long ago, like Saddam Hussein), means the US could just arrest me under Canadian request and ship me there to suffer Castreau's wrath.
Worse, should KYC become necessary for internet use, as is being assiduously sought, then I will be cut off from my international sources, and Hive, because using this account would no longer be pseudonymous.
Thanks!
At this point, they should try shipping me (like they did with the slaves in trains)
At this point, they would be experiencing their blue wonder
I just read that criticizing mass immigration is now a crime there. I am sad about it.
I dont give a fuck
You Right-heads and left-heads will kill each other very soon anyways
Everyone dies. Better to die right.
yeah, sacrifice yourself to your ideologies
hopefully these ideologies then die with you alltogether
Sure, it is safe to the extent one wants to share opinions and private things openly. E.g. the wallet and activity history are completely open to the public. If someone is not comfortable with that, Hive is not the right platform for him/her.
Nobody is forced to participate in a poll.
So one can see who voted for what in the poll?
Safe...but I feel uncomfortable.....Anonymity is the USP of crypto things. So I would always prefer to be anonymous while casting my vote or opinion.
can one see who voted what on the poll?
I feel absolutely comfortable with Pools on lots of platforms... I trust the Blockchain network even more so I'm way more comfortable with Pools and infact I'm damn well glad we have them here...🥰🥰🥰
Great to hear! Out of interest, did you vote on this poll? I did but I am not seeing any votes being logged yet, so am learning!
I couldn't even see the poll feature so decided to comment.. I was looking or is there I link I need to click on....
Ah, which Hive website are you viewing my post in?
I can see the poll is visible in Ecency and Peakd.. I guess the other sites haven't added it yet.
I'm on Ecency, let me try checking it again 🥰
Why I shouldn't? 😅
@valued-customer's comment addresses some potential issues - there are others:

This is all I see on your post though
What if you scroll down?
I see this:
Oh wow I forgot, I have to actually use the Ecency website instead because it's not showing in the mobile App... Alright I'm on it dear friend
I have never seen a poll on Hive. Maybe because I only use the Android ecency app with some exceptions. Or that I only look at the friends feed because the financial curation is worthless for the content I go to Hive for.
Oh I think it's the former though... I speak with the admins and they're working on including the Polls on the Ecency mobile app.. for now if you want to see a poll you will need to use the Ecency website itself 🥰
Ah yes, I see, it's not showing for me in android either.. Seems like that might be a bug - do you know about this @good-karma? Cheers!
Today, we have new update on mobile app. That has voting on Polls feature.
Excellent, thanks!
I was actually told that they're working on an update of polls for the mobile app version and would be released 🥰 so eagerly waiting for that
I used the website and finally saw it... Was happy to vote man... it was fun.... Looking forward to more polls from you
are polls anonymous?
I haven't looked at the code but, AFAIK, the votes are stored onchain - so are associated to your account - so polls are as anonymous as your account is.
yeah, what I imagined
makes sense, thanks :)
