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.

We're just about to agree on the condition that only members of this instance should be allowed to vote. I am afraid that your proposal might not be compatible with that at the moment...
Since votes are public, it's probably possible to write a moderator tool to tally votes based on instance of the voter. As a developer, I'm happy to implement that if wanted.
If this is doable I would be for the proposal. Current system is transparent, but messy and a target for retaliation. Proposal with just upvotes / downvotes isn't transparent (wanted in this case), but also allows for voting from users outside this server with no way to separate their votes out of the count. Though that hasn't even been decided on definitively. In addition if a tool like this could be extended to incorporate more functions like finding minimum account age, comment/post requirements, etc. It could be very useful.
