9 months ago Filed this just in time, looks like we're already receiving Updates for poll votes that are spamming webmentions. Original report in https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/1550. Here's an example activity from mastodon.social, below. It seems fine.
The problem is probably that the Update id has a fragment in it, which we include that in our webmention source URL, https://ap.brid.gy/convert/web/https:/mastodon.social/users/Edent/statuses/111069219037380638%23updates/1694783012 . The mf2 correctly has u-url set to the reply post itself, https:/mastodon.social/users/Edent/statuses/111069219037380638 , but I'm guessing most wm receivers don't de-dupe aggressively enough to use u-url as a key instead of source URL.

Polls! https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/395 is for just rendering them; the next step would be to let people actually post and vote in them.
Sadly, as of 9/2023, they're mostly incomplete across Bridgy Fed's protocols:
