      It’s just that Lemmy.ml and Lemmy.world are not everybody’s cups of tea.

    We have so many choices. This makes no sense to me.

      The is a what if scenario. No one should be stuck with 2 choices when more can be had.

        But there are a lot more than two choices. If we went with instant runoff people would feel more comfortable voting for them.

          No, instant run-off reinforces the 2 party system even more so. You should support the single transferable vote instead as that is ranked and proportional.

    If you look reeealll close you can almost make it a tiny break in the clouds in .world… or maybe that’s just bias. Who knows.

    I ended up blocking them both because lemmy.ml is full of tankies and lemmy.world is America centric despite the name.

      I know that Lemmy has 600 instances, that’s missing the point of the meme.

        Apologies, I thought you were implying that lemmy.world and lemmy.ml were the only two options.
