So responses to polls are just an ActivityPub message too, right?

So responses to polls are just an ActivityPub message too, right? Like if the server had an interface for it someone could see each individual response?
If I had the time I'd build a matchmaking bot that just spews out polls and tries to match up people who give similar responses. Hell, once it got well enough integrated into the network it could probably start using other peoples' polls too. Maybe have a dedicated hashtag for such polls to make them easier to find and let anyone contribute. And there could be competing bots with different algorithms! You wouldn't even have to sign up for a website, it could run against any account in the fediverse... (Presumably with some kind of opt-in mechanism of course.)

That's correct. I wrote a bit about how polls work at https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/09/no-activitypub-isnt-anonymous/The server which publishes the poll *could* reveal how everyone voted.
The server which sends votes *could* reveal how everyone on that specific server voted.
Whether it is a good idea to turn that into matchmaking, I couldn't say!
