The Agora
In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.
Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.
You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.
Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

I'd like lurkers to be able to vote so long as they meet a timescale. It could be like 2 months since account creation for lurkers, or 2 weeks + a certain post/comment threshold for more active participants of the instance.
Lol 2 weeks mean that most of us here cannot even vote. We just got here a few days ago. A one vote per ip is far more realistic, and we can make it so accounts over VPN will not be able to vote unless they apply for an unrestricted account requring manual approval.
Well, it's kinda experimental thing now, but with future in mind, i think this kind of rule actually makes more sense than just one vote/ip and screw the vpn users. Time boundaries could be discussed, but it makes sense.
This all isn't happening immediately. It'll be debated for a good while, and then voted on, and then it'll take some work to actually implement assuming it passes. No one's going to go through everyone's account individually to verify their vote, we'll need a bot for that.
Also, I don't think 2 weeks is that long at all. The vast majority of everyone's time on this instance they will be eligible for voting. I really don't see why 2 weeks when they first make an account is such a huge amount.
