In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.

Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.

You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.

Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

Final vote: NO

Should probably use something that only allows 1 vote per IP address. I think strawpoll.com and livepoll.io can do that.

VPN voting is also not allowed with this poll. I personally use a VPN and will have to turn mine off to vote on this.

I think I’m unconvinced that ensuring unique IP is vastly more important than the benefits the current system provides.

What benefits does the current system provide over restricting IP? This poll has only 3 votes which is actually helping prove my point.

I did list them in my comment, I spent time to try to engage with you and it's clear you either didn't read it or didn't understand it. That's a shame.

If you're going to laser focus on only one aspect of voting, you do us all a disservice with your suggestions to improve. There's more to a solid voting system than unique IP.

Your poll means nothing. It's a mistake to try to use it as a guidepost for how to run a lemmy instance. The low engagement isn't the slam dunk you seem to believe it is.

This is not a mistake, but rather a point I'm making.

Please explain the point you're making.

Anyone can make 100 accounts with VPNs and vote with the current process

If this poll means nothing then all votes here mean nothing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You have not demonstrated this to be true.

I have done so.
