I am interested in info sharing and discussion and hope this poll will help. However I feel unclear if this poll is encouraging people to “pick their positions” too quickly, while the proverbial fog of war is still high (I feel like that when considering agree/disagree voting some of the poll options). I am interested in hearing if others have that reaction (via react, comment, or DM). My guess is I am unlikely to take this down but it will inform whether we do this sort of thing in the future.
Anonymity, for at least one or more actions (voting on polls? Creating options?), should maybe be on the table. Then again, they ofc can send the wrong message and create their own incentives(?).
While I feel very unsure of a lot of my picks, I chose to interpret this as declaring a prior before the new evidence we expect comes out. I also took the unsure button route on several where my uncertainty is almost total.
I don’t feel this pressure. I just decline to answer when I don’t have a very substantial opinion. I do notice myself sort of judging the people who voted on things where clearly the facts are barely in, though, which is maybe an unfortunate dynamic, since others may reasonably interpret it as “feel free to take your best guess.”

Encouraging an “unsure” button by default may fix this fear.
