Why vote? Isn't that the decision for the instance admins to make? (And also their job?)
Just ping them and also flag offending posts.
So the admins can make a better decision by knowing what their community thinks.
I mean they own the hardware and they're not being paid. It's gracious of any admin if they ask people's opinions. They run their servers because they do it as a hobby and enjoy it. What they believe is what is law on their property. If you Don't agree you can move, that's why it's great. Start your own! And if the hardware changes hands it will mean rules may change. It's not a bad thing, I means people are free to run their instance as they believe fit.
Just directly write them a message. I don't think it needs a vote by the majority of the community to exclude some right wing crypto bros who like transphobia etc
Also if you focus your energy here instead of notifying an admin, they might not read it and you kinda did the opposite of what you intended. Focus your energy here only if the admins and moderation don't do their job properly.
That's how admins of reddit shut down third party apps without asking users
