    I’m not that into making fun of an old guy about his appearance.

    But yeah keep up the posts it’s good to see you here.

    Too bad you’re from an Authoritarian instance. Create a new account and stick around.

        … So a theocracy can be good as long as the majority of people say “aye?”

        … and such a theocracy would then not be authoritarian…?

          That’s not a theocracy that’s just democracy and the leader that “has” to execute these demands is the admin. But every instance has an admin so it’s a moot point.

          It’s just mass opinion which can be good or bad doesn’t really matter at least with lemmy you can leave for another instance or just be on all of them. Democracy has it’s own problems but it’s w/e I don’t think you care about the nuance of this.

          People can say no.

          During the first vote to defed from EH, there were too many no’s. Now after some community interaction between sh.it and EH, Sh.It is voting Yes.

            Thanks for the information - what was it?

            I remember I saw these ridiculous posts on EH where someone would b writing "I am a neonazi skinhead racist and I hate black people’ etc. as the subject line… Were these things actually filtering over to sh.it and affecting people’s perception?

            lol, was @wigglehard’s trolling a factor in this, basically?

              It was yeah, there’s been a few trolls as of late after the first vote.

              Wiggle’s behaviour doesn’t help it either, no.

                I believe I saw you standing up for us in some of those threads, so thank you.

                I really do like wigglehard but I think… that was the opposite of what should have happened. I am not saying it would have changed the outcome necessarily, but I would have kissed ass to avoid this.

                  Not defending anymore though. You’re the only user so far from my interactions who bothers to engage.

              More than half the aye votes were recent accounts with little to no activity. It was some kinda brigading campaign. I bet almost all those accounts will drop to zero activity after they defederate. I’ve seen them around other instances doing the same thing. They just tried it over at manders instance. It’s all so tiresome.

                I really wanted to walk away and do other stuff. I had classes lined up. This will take a lot of time but I will fix this bug in the fediverse God damn it.

                  Yeah you can just browse through and click a bunch of them. A huge number of the votes are made by accounts where the only comment that account has ever made was to vote.
