[...] if we’re going to have a culture, spitting on nazis is the one for me!

Right there with ya buddy.

Thanks pal :)

Thanks db0, you are appreciated.

Thanks, I've got so used to using lemmyverse.link lately that I didn't even think of that.

If we had voting numbers that low then it won't be a good indicator of sentiment anyway. Ideally we would want a sample size of around ~289 home instance users (95% confidence, 5% margin of error on 1149 monthly active users) to give us confidence in the results. I just think maybe the weighting is too heavy in one direction at present. But yeah, there's a lot of different approaches that might work here so it might need its own thread.

I think that's up for debate too. What are your thoughts?

Yeah fair enough, just added it in for completeness to help explain the math.

Edit: On reflection I'd recommend a 50%/50% split between donating/vouched users and non-donating home instance users. That will help ensure that people can't game the system by making a few small donations in order to force an outcome on the majority of the non-donating instance users, and to ensure there is a general consensus, not just among donating users.

True, but I think it's good feedback. We should probably consider bumping up the weighting of the non-supporting instance users from 1% of total votes to a larger percentage. I support the idea that donating users should have more of a say, but we could manage it something like the following to ensure there needs to be an alignment between the views of the donating/vouched users and the non-donating home instance users.

Example below using arbitrary weights (for consideration):

1. Votes from vouched users or donating users is weighted to 50% of overall tally (this proportion still provides a big boost to voting power given the number of people who donate).
2. Overall votes from non-donating home instance users is weighted to 45% of overall tally.
3. Overall votes from external instance users is weighted to 5% of overall tally.

The final math would be as follows:

• Donating/vouched members = Count of Yes votes / total votes from this group, e.g. 55% in favour x 50% weighting
• Non-donating home instance sentiment = Count of Yes votes / total votes from this group, e.g. 61% in favour x 45% weighting
• External sentiment = Count of Yes votes / total votes from this group, e.g. 80% in favour x 5% weighting
• Total voting tally: Donating/vouched members + Non-donating home instance sentiment + External sentiment, so for this example, we would get: 27.50% + 27.45% + 4.00% = weighted average of 59% in favour, so it would not pass the 66.6% threshold.

I always thought the OG one kind of looks like a fish eye.

Why don't you lead by example, zero-posts?

looks like the deep state has taken down those links already chad mctruth

I really needed this meme today. Thank you OP!

keeping it real chad mctruth :p

OPs post isn't about the Carnivore community. If you think there was a power trippin' mod action related to banning that community then please post about it in a separate post, rather than hijacking this thread. Thanks.

Great advice.

This is looking a lot like a personal attack tbh. This community is about holding mods/admin to account, not for personal attacks on other users. Blaze has (from my own personal experience) consistently been working to help promote small instances and provide alternatives to communities hosted on the larger instances. While that may not be great from LW's perspective, I think it's good for the fediverse as a whole. This whole situation feels like it could easily be resolved with a good faith discussion between all parties involved tbh.

My pleasure, I wish more people would read it! :)

im going to preorder the fuck out of this

thanks for reading between the lines on this chad mctruth they clearly display the word SMELANIA which is a mashup of SMEL[L] and MELANIA which is all the proof any patriot needs
