Everyone sure likes creating these public polls where you can see who voted for what, even though we went out of our way to disable that by default :sweat_smile:

Definitely true in my case :smile: I enjoy seeing who uses what in a small focused community like this.. Buuuut I think I still get to blame you for this preference of mine partially :smile: (possibly?). I’m only joking, but I became accustomed to this style of poll, and then got to like it, because…

I’ve used that service for about 10 years and I’ve n…
