Pretty much every alternative voting system gets very similar results in practice. Most of the arguments between voting nerds are about what kind of things are more important. Approval people favor simplicity and scalability, RCV people favor individual voter expression. I could give you all the arguments about why approval is better, but we’re in the middle of a funding drive so I’m kinda burnt out on it.

Well the group doesn’t organize through Reddit, but we interact with all the internet sites, because people are on the internet.

I’m an unofficial volunteer for The Center for Election Science and right now their big thing is helping people switch their elections to Approval Voting. So basically I just keep an eye out for conversations and posts where election or representation reform is relevant and join the discussion.

If you wanna win hearts and minds, you gotta show up where the people are.

That being said, I’m on Lemmy because FUCK REDDIT and monetizing social interactions is gross and icky.

Does it have a way to bypass the API problem that’s about to hit us? I don’t browse or anything anymore, I just show up in places where I’m told people have questions I’d be good at answering.

Yeah I installed the official app because I have to use Reddit for political activism. The app sucks donkey balls. It’s genuinely confusing to try and navigate. It’s never clear where you are. The app SUCKS.

I socialize here now, I only go to Reddit if I have to.
