It's just an outdoor cooking surface right? If you can get your charcoal lit, it's a good day to cook :)

That looks perfect! How long did it take? Also, what sides did you do?

Is it a fail if you get BBQ a day early tho? Sounds to me like you just doubled your BBQ potential!

Out of interest, does blocking go both ways? If I block Meta, I can't see their content, but can they still see mine?

If they can, blocking does nothing to prevent them harvesting data on me does it?

Thinking about it, if we get a proper polling system in place, that solves the issue of tons of Ayes and Nays and also additional up/down voting.

I had considered voting to be a single issue topic with a binary y/n outcome, with polling used to refine ideas, but there's no reason you couldn't have polling also be single issue but with multiple outcomes.

That way you can use the polling system to get feedback on potential voting topics and also for the vote itself.

Oh hell nay.

I really like how simple the single post up/downvote thing is.

I guess my only concern is that it hides who's voted, which would make it harder to weed out bots/shitbags.

I get what you're saying but ultimately, the information the bot is providing would just be "the humans say they want this and meets the threshold they've set".

It's not making any decisions on its own.

To your point about "Nay until evidence", that seems to me to be working as intended. A Nay is a Nay until the user changes their vote. You'd want the bot to count that.

Yeah, a few people have mentioned this and it would seem to make sense.

There are a few Lemmy bots on GitHub https://github.com/topics/lemmy-bot, I guess that would need involvement from the mods.

Fair point, I suppose it'll become obvious if it starts being abused.
