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

        Proportional representation is my cup 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.

    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.

    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.

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