I love the idea of multi-item #poll ability in #mastodon. I dived into the API (#rstats rtoot, which is very cool). I can now get statuses, find my polls, and get the stored data.
However, the API doesn't seem to store any kind of ID of the users who voted and how they voted; I thought I'd seen elsewhere that this data could be obtained from public polls, but I don't have it. If I did, I could do two or three one-question polls and then, for users who answered all questions, parse the data into user-matched rows and columns and do fun things like scatterplots, multi-bar charts, regression, t-tests, ANOVA...
but apparently not, because I can't get the data.
If anyone knows of a way a person could get this data (public, ethical, etc.), I'm open to it. Multi-item polls are just such a fun idea.
