Commented on something like this the other day. Official votes should be limited to its own community with only active votes. The slate of votes would run at standard times (i.e. Sunday to Sunday). The agora could be used for discussion and meeting a threshold for a topic to clear to be put on the voting slate.

What about automobilista 2?

Judging based off a chunk of the posts copied over so far it's kinda weird to get recommendations / seeking / help finding posts when there is no OP to respond. Is there a way to filter some of those out? Or is that the vast majority of the posts anyway.

[–] Spluk42 2 points 2 years ago

I feel like a copy bot just makes a ghost town because there is no OP actually invested in the post. Might not matter as much here though because it's more news-y than some other communities I've seen do this. Really weird to get posts requesting recommendations but from a bot. Like what's the point?

Should have read the article before posting. TL;DR The NFL controls all gambling suspensions and as such Jamo's does not fall under the NFLPA bargain suspension policy and is basically whatever the NFL says it is.

I like the helmet colors and I don't mind the logo but it's position and sizing seems odd.

Ars Technica just did a review on that model or extremely similar. review

I think we should come up with a fairly simple algorithm that uses an exponential for different factors (age, posts, etc) to weight a vote. Should be designed so that it will cap at a certain value (ex. 6 month old account same weight as 14 years all else being equal).

I think we should do some data science on the first couple of votes or maybe even automate that on all votes so we can better understand how the community at large is responding to a specific question. That is if you have a vote and no matter which way you cut it 80% said yes, cool. If you have another that's swings around a bit maybe it needs to be better fleshed out to account for everyone's point of view.

Not a data scientist myself but a related field and can help with some of that if need be.

I think the vote posts might be better off in their own community outside the agora, like c/pollingplace or something. Discussions and topics that meet a threshold here are moved to that community and voting goes for a week. Each week the current slate of pending votes is posted and voting can occur with upvotes and downvotes on an aye, nay, and abstention comments inside the post.

Can a mod/admin/whatever pull who upvoted what? Somehow Lemmy is tracking it since it knows what you've upvoted. But it might make sense for the first couple of votes to do some real data analysis on them (who/what instances, age of account, average post quantity voted which way) to determine an algorithm that minimizes brigading while allowing everyone a voice.

[–] Spluk42 2 points 2 years ago

Agreed. Kinda leaves you a Lemmy nomad which doesn't feel great.

I was all for Aye but you do make a good argument. Especially since I was thinking of spinning up my own instance for just me. On the other hand it's not that difficult (at least right now) to just spin up an account here to have a vote.

I do think it makes sense that the people who call their instance home get to call the shots though.

For example: Beehaw. Their admins defederated sh.itjust.works because they wanted to. Fair, idk but their choice.

Edit: looks the Dude has a similar opinion. https://sh.itjust.works/comment/296455

Fair. I kinda generalized it all under "voting rules and regulations".
