VOTING & POLLS - Option SHOWING who voted?... 

THIS IS ABOUT VOTING & POLLS

Would you appreciate the VOTING in Mastodon to *also* include option **SHOWING** who voted in RESULTS (after to those that voted showing total voted etc AND USERNAME?)...

This idea is for optional group-only or public survey so it could be shown only to those that voted also or perhaps everyone (this would be flexible and up to poll makers).

If you have +'s / -'s / ~'s just reply to this or private DM please.

The idea behind this is about pooling people together - so those with similar tastes / work / mood for doing stuff can see each other and do it (right now or later talk slowly etc and to link across fedi's).

If you can see mutuality and interest from others and actually get stuff done (communication obviously first) then rather than messaging, email copies, hunting each other etc... a more willing show of hands... something a bit safer and knowing what might be more possible by voting / seeing what kind of poll it is / seeing others interested or already doing similar things to them / helping etc.

Please comment / DM anytime... Thank you.

MASTODON IDEA: VOTING IN POLLS + SHOW who voted?... To make contact with people and their projects after poll is over? 

I would like to see this VOTING + CONTACTING idea so those who voted can be reachable.

Could have option to turn off (as a default and people could turn on if they welcome contact)

'Transparent voting' option let's call it in for people to be able to get in touch after are finished.

This allows individuals to continue doing together from poll's pooling ability and relativity.
A way of peer-to-peer by allowing seeing of potential people or existing projects to contact.

Could be perishable (like after a week.

Practical idea no? I made a technical picture to show how showing how voting and finding relativity could work in real life!
You like?... BOOST!

@freeschool generally it is not so good idea. If people have the same opinion, it makes them closer. But if tastes of friends differ radically it can tear apart.
Will you vote for what you really want, if you see that comrades already voted for another thing?
Do you want to see only the people who voted the same? Isn't it like self-limiting to an information bubble? Facebook and Google does it similar ways. They would recommend what you like and people you have something in common.
"Vote for Trump and we'll be together until the next vote separates us."
And another point is you begin with a technical feature. You don't start with a human need that has to be satisfied. And you don't come up with another variants to satisfy this need.

Hi @canwolf
