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.

Nay

I'm thinking we need a bot to handle all this. Check for quorum, track vote timelines, tally votes after it closes, administer polls, probably other stuff I'm missing

if we do implement a quorum, I think we should allow abstain votes in addition to aye or nay, for folks who are neither for or against but want to help meet that threshold

what about measuring against subscribers to the Agora

sounds sensible

I'm doubtful a quorum of 50% would happen, I imagine the majority of users will not participate in voting. I think if we set that as the threshold, nothing would ever get done. We might as well shutter the community. Maybe that many would vote if it were a defederation issue, but I still doubt it.

I think the proposer should tally votes. It should be easy to check the OPs math and bring up any discrepancies.

I like the discussion-> poll -> vote idea, but I'm not sure if most proposals will be large enough to require it.

Finally what about time limits? I've seen others says votes should be up for 3 days, or even 7 days which seems like a lot to me.

I suppose I'm struggling to see the utility. Is it for posters to advertise their products? Recommend products like on r/buyitforlife?

Can you give some background info and explain why you think it's a good idea?

aye

aye

aye

In trying to do everything he could for it to go smoothly, he'd somehow fuck it up.
