Should we cancel votes on a periodic basis as more people join the instance?

[–] carbon_based@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not cancel the votes but new people will ofc have the possibility to bring existing rules newly to discussion. It may be totally reasonable to review rules, assuming they can get outdated. And ideally, yes, if it was a real community (real verifyable persons) then any new member must be asked if they had any objections to the existing rules, and given the opportunity to newly discuss them (or add to a constantly ongoing discussion). It just isn't all too practical in certain circumstances.

Or people should understand that decentralization means that if they don't agree with the rules on an instance then they can join an instance with rules they agree with and if their current instance goes in a direction they disagree with they can join another instance.

People are just attached to a username and, in this instance's case, to the cool name.

Well, i was implicitely talking about sh.itjust.works, where the owner just opened up all but their most vital rules to be discussed and decided upon by the users. This applies regardless of the age of a user account. ... And then i was talking about an ideal, in-person situation ... which we don't have here.

Votes should be held in a way that makes it apparent for users that they are happening, for example by giving a server-wide announcement. They shouls further run for at least a week, if not longer. They also need to be clear in their wording, concise and easy to find.

There's a sticky in the main community to announce the creation of the Agora and all the kinks about votes are being worked on already.

[–] Ajen@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Worked on, not fixed. It's an important distinction.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

You know your need to start by working on stuff before they're fixed, right?
