mastodon
User preference to hide/mute posts containing polls
Pitch
For some, polls are funny or interesting. For others, they're pointless, distracting, and just clog up your timeline. The results can't be scientific because the participants are self-selected, so they're purely for social commentary or entertainment or other things.
A simple user preference to not show posts containing a poll would seriously unclog my timeline.
Motivation
There are way too many joke / useless / pointless polls - I see dozens a day sometimes, and it clogs up my timeline with stuff I have zero interest in.
Agree with all the above. It would be great to be able to filter polls out.
Suggestion: Perhaps mastodon could automatically insert a #Poll hashtag to a post when a poll is created. Then one could filter, search, or pin the #Poll hashtag.
Many (but not most) users manually add #Poll to there polling posts.
