Poll support #820

Open ghost opened 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

If we create a poll on Matrix, Discord users can't see it.

Miepee commented 2 years ago

As far as I'm aware, discord does not have any poll equivalents, but I could be wrong.

@Miepee You can emulate them with message components.

Don't they just use reactions? If so shouldn't the title be changed to reaction support?

erkinalp commented 2 years ago

@TheNamelessWonderer Not all Discord polls use reactions. And bridging them to reactions would require operator intervention to choose which emoji should be used first (Discord does not allow arbitrary text reactions).

Discord does not allow arbitrary text reactions

Could you elaborate with what you mean here? Discord does allow reactions the same as Matrix. 🤔

I see no reason why reactions couldn't be bridged across from Discord to Matrix. (Matrix → Discord won't work though, or at least only 1 of each reaction could be added which would be attributed to the bot itself.)

It does not. Matrix allows you to reply via text, like here:

Oh… I didn't realize by text you literally meant alphanumeric characters. I wasn't aware of this then, sorry.

Thanks for the clarification.
