transshork-happy Thanks for the software!

What is your and others Devs opinion on the pre-emptive de-federation of 20k hexbear users by 120k user instance lemmy.world?

Would you think Ranked Choice voting for admins i.e. with the Schulze method - which Debian power-genius uses - integrated into the sites would mean that better community supported decisions can be made for both moderation as well as in comments/communities about stuff?

Also: is there a remind me in 2 month of this post option?

For obvious reasons, we don't want to be involved in inter-server conflicts. Admins are free to run their servers however they see fit.

I don't know how the debian one works (I'm also personally a fan of olympic score / range voting over ranked choice). Because of the possibility of weaknesses of these community-moderation proposals(people creating fake users to vote, and gaming them in hundreds of other ways I can't think about) I'd rather not stress-test them in lemmy.

We don't have a remind-me, but someone could implement it, it'd def be useful. I don't even think there's an open issue for that one yet.

Check out STAR Voting. It is range voting with a runoff step to avoid bullet voting
