Are Mastodon polls anonymous and private? Let's clear it up: 1. When you vote on a poll, your instance knows your vote: your account and what your vote was. 2. If the poll is run by someone on a separate instance, that instance knows your vote. 3. The person who created the poll does not know individual votes - only the tallies. 4. Other participants and spectators can only retrieve the tallies. TL;DR: instance admins can see votes if they know where to look. 1/ #poll #privacy
