Planned removal of the poke feature


Hi !Friendica Support,

This is a friendly notice that we will be removing the poke feature from Friendica in the upcoming release planned for September. This Friendica-only feature sees very little use and doesn't provide any real benefit over regular posts that can federate with more ActivityPub systems.

It's time to say goodbye to an odd bit of Friendica/Mistpark history.

I'm wondering about that too, I've never used it myself other that for testing purposes, and nobody dared to poke me either in 6 years of using Friendica!

@Hypolite Petovan I once or twice used it, over the entire time being in the #Fediverse, no miss on this feature for me. 😀
