They will be forever be remembered in our hearts for how well they ran the instance!

One upside to this is that people now have a good excuse to check out Piefed!

Piefed has also listed my language settings to Portuguese.

Piefed has just recently started opening the api access on Piefed.social and Feddit.online!

Well… looks like you will only have one now.

Such an entertaining video! Cheers to Dave and Lemmy.nz!

I really appreciate how well-ran piefed.social is!

The platform follows the same format as Lemmy but with extra features such as flairs, polls, private votes and combined comments.

Splashes you!

Not one of the titans 😭

Looks aren’t everything!

Ukraine is cleaning up the mess.

“Protecting” women my foot.

It’s really frustrating people dont want to recognize Biden’s accomplishments.

That was a terrible video that doesnt explain your points.

“Terrible” video because it doesn’t jive with your confirmation bias. I disagree the video is very made. Why are you dead-set on a system that only works to entrench the 2 big parties. It shows how passing the alternative vote makes democracy less fair in the long run. The top performers on the global metrics are often pr countries such as Norway, Switzerland, Denmark and Iceland while Australia is trailing well behind.

How so? Thats just a transparency issue, if we know that 50% of the Labour votes were originally Green votes then that definitely sets a tone.

Which labour can conveniently ignore because they have a stronger stranglehold on democracy as they receive the lower ranked votes thanks to the funneling effect.

Sounds like projection because Israel isn’t being embargoed.

The British are not protesting against this nonsense enough when this is the behavior that still being espoused from their government. You do not get to them let off the hook!

No because instant runoff-ranked ballots still has the same issues: lack of accountability, under-representation of small parties, hostile politics and the lack of action on issues. The government needs to be heavily pressured to pass proportional representation. It is not difficult for the politicians to do, they’re just inventing excuses for themselves to avoid making British democracy fairer for everyone involved.

Here is a video on why the alternative vote is problematic.

You would need to group up the districts and maybe add extra seats to the parliament to ensure the most proportionality as possible. As in Ireland the districts contain 3-5 seats each.

The UK would be a lot better off following Ireland’s steps in adopting a single transferable vote system. Yes it keeps the local representation while providing the voters the most sophisticated way in expressing their approval of the candidates as one can rank 3 or 7 or even up to 42 candidates if they like.

The first-past-the-post invention has served it’s purpose.
