Dang and I just made this account too. Time to find a new instance... Any recommendations? How is lemmy.today?
This whole process has looked sus to me. And on top of that, I don't think voting by up/downvoting the post itself is a good way to call votes
it means a minority can pass a rule without it being even seen by the majority (not sure that matters in this case). Voting should be done in a top-level comment.
Idk, the process looked fine to me. I can't say I agree with the arguments and the outcome, but it never looked like a bad process.
Up-/Downvotes on a pinned post doesn't change visibility for instance users.
sh.itjust.works
or go to piefed
The vote was literally pinned instance-wide for a week and it passed with an overwhelming absolute majority, with a majority of comments (of various active and established users) calling for a defed instead of just community bans
Why do you think that?
People might not see the stickied post, for whatever reason. I'm mostly on X hours top, which hides the thread if older than X hours. Or someone could just not use Lemmy for a week. There is no notification or similar, no email alert.
I would argue that this would be the minority of users, not the majority.
Are there stats for how much voting eligible users there are, and how much of them actually vote on governance topics, or see (click on) governance topics?
No
I think I wasnt thinking clearly. sticked posts it doesn't matter what the up/downvote ratio is, its still gets pushed to all. COrrect?
Yes
You can come to feddit.org, we have mostly normal people instead of armchair internet warriors lol
True! discuss.tchncs.de is also pretty nice. We have a few more communities that feddit has defederated (for good reason, though, not everyone wants pr0n in their main feed :D).
Did you not read the rules for joining DB0 before you joined. They clearly state a full anti-zionist stance right there.
eyeroll yes. Do you think I support zionism?
No? I hope not, or joining DB0 would be a completely strange action. But you seem to think that their explicit rules on Zionism would not mean that they would act on a zionist-bar-like instance.
Seeing your political inclinations you may wanna check out nazis.love, zionism.supporters, and netanyahu.net
You people are worse than reddit
