fyi i’m cool with browser extensions, etc. for wasteof, but please don't add special syntax that requires the extension to view. (eg. : emoji: text). it makes things a lot messier for everyone else.

i would think in that case that even people not using the extension would be able to understand.

Extension-less people would still not be able to view the poll though.

That's already how polls regularly work on here. This would be more of a problem if wasteof.plus actually switches to some sort of API service

if we switch to an api service, extension-less people would still be able to vote (it would still count comments as votes), it’s just that people using the extension who actually click on responses wouldn’t post comments. (@gilbert189)

That just seems very chaotic… Polls on wasteof, the way they are used currently, already function through comments. So, why not use them like that?

take a look at issue #93 for my up-to-date thoughts, but this approach is not necessarily a critical update that will happen anytime soon, more like a plan which we can work on while we use the method in #92 in the meantime. also, jeffalo originally suggested the link-based poll idea so that non-extension users could still use the richly polls on an external website. (potentially wasteofplus.vercel.app)

@imadeanaccount @mybearworld i suggest linking to a dynamic png image or something (it wouldn’t be very accessible but ehhhhhhhhhh)

How would you actually make a dynamic PNG with only cubeupload and imgbb?

damnnnn jeffalo actually blocked external images?

Sure did, and that’s good

no it’s not (!!!) how do you hack someone with a png lmao
