   @evan strong positivity, at least relative to...polls. :)

   Polls are here though, would enjoy a somehow fediverse native prediction market.

     @mlinksva ha! No wonder I don't talk to you as much here as I'd like.

     I think we'd need a lot more payment infrastructure here before prediction markets could work.

     We could probably make something work where you bet some kind of quatloo, and you get paid out in quatloos for the reputation and self esteem bump, but I think one of the things that makes prediction markets work is that real (-ish) money is on the line.
