With a robust voting population, having 5 alts is not sufficient to affect the outcome anyway.
Nay
If we don't care about everyone having a chance to vote, then let's just pick 25 users that have been active in the last week, at random and pass things 14 of them support.
The effort is placed on the wrong people when trying to maintain a blacklist of emails.
-
Maintaining a blacklist is lots of effort for the admins.
-
The normal users we want to join are inconvenienced.
-
The spammers are using automated tools, so they don't have any burden and get in anyway.
Nay. I'd much rather use an invite system than try to blacklist emails.
With access to the database, it might be easy for a bot to look for users who read the discussion linked in the vote post.
I don't think we need to restrict to active users.
An abstain vote reduces the total number of votes required to pass anything. I would prefer valid voters be presumed to be against all of the options until they vote for any of the options.
We need to construct a vote ballot, then use up voting on the options you approve of.
This is approval voting and has excellent behaviors compared to most other voting systems
Ideally, voting would happen in a community that only allows local users to subscribe or vote.
If that's not possible in Lemmy, at the moment, something with access to the database could do the checking and report the results, I think.
Something similar to your suggestion might work.
I made an example with more than two options.
