Hi there, thanks for this bot! I'm trying it out with a friend and noticed that even with anonymous voting enabled, other users can briefly see who voted for a given option if they hover over the react -- when you vote, they'll see your name in the brief window of time before the bot removes the react.

A motivated user can also open the devtools and monitor websocket messages to keep track of who voted. They're binary-encoded so it's not completely trivial, but the information on who voted is being sent to everyone! (I guess an even more motivated user could use a Discord API client to monitor reacts as well.)

Is there any way around this? For example, I was wondering if there was a mode where a user could react to a poll with an option for the bot to DM them the poll options, so they can perform the vote proper privately.
