Haha no, it’s a meta post about the rules.

I think you clicked the wrong comment to reply to.

Yeah but everyone seems to be expecting Lemmy to just turn into the high point of Reddit. Reddit wasn’t built in a day and neither will Lemmy be built in a day.

I see what you’re trying to do drag but it just doesn’t track.

America voting for the lesser evil since 1792.

It’s not the time to stop now. But I better see all of you on the streets with signs on November 6th.

You could always go one level up. Like instead of a crochet community and a knitting community you could have a yarn community that incorporates all types of weaving with yarn.

And then post it in New Communities and other boards like it to advertise it!

Looking at the Lemmy.world legal terms it looks like they’re mostly concerned about Child Pornography and actual illicit drug transactions. I would refrain from posting anything that’s illegal where you are as well, but obviously I can’t tell what that might be. So no I wouldn’t expect a small town in Texas to be moderating legality here any time soon. To be honest I’m pretty sure that rule is there for liability reasons, it’s certainly not something that I would use unless it’s blindingly obvious like someone making a community to trade murders. (conspiracy to murder generally being illegal everywhere, and murder trades being a weird but real thing.)

Well sure, I can’t compensate you but if you wanted to do that I’d let it do it’s thing.

Yeah, that’s true, but it was always going to be a tight line to walk to get out from under a Russian invasion without going the Afghanistan route.

I’m not sure, how would that even work if they haven’t provided the link?

See that’s setting an example, which Inverse Parallax specifically said they were done with. Do you see my problem here?

Also concentration camps are not Godwin’s law territory, plenty of other countries have used them, including the US.

Hah, I was just about to kick it with that as a comment. Thanks for the link!

Or Russia decides eating a nuke isn’t worth it because they know what launching a nuke from Russia would mean.

Proportional representation absolutely supports multiple parties. By definition it gets rid of FPTP in congressional elections because it seats representatives by proportion of votes gained.

Also STAR is really just FPTP with the primary and general happening at the same time. You give a rating from 0 to 5 to each candidate and the two with the highest rating face off in a classic FPTP election.

In RCV they drop the lowest and go to the next round until someone gets enough votes.

STAR is approved and backed by the major parties because it would still act the same way. The fear of the other party means even if you vote 5 stars on the third party you’re going to vote 4 stars on the main party, lest they not have enough points in the run off. This creates a bar to third parties that’s at the same level as FPTP, the main party candidate for that dude if the electorate must be a complete deal breaker. This is because STAR gifts the main candidate extra points from people who would really rather see the third party elected and only want the main candidate as a back up. But they still get those 4 points in the first round.

So strategic voting, without fear of the other side, in STAR turns out to be rating everyone zero except your choice. Which is just back to FPTP.

RCV allows you to rank your preferred candidate first and your backup second without fear this will somehow help the other side or give undue weight to your first candidate.

That’s because you’ve already decided what answer you want.

Haha Congress go burrrrr. If Democrats can get control at any rate.

Well Zelensky was very clear about there being two paths. I welcome the world’s newest member of the nuclear weapons club.
