So, we are set for the 17 of July for the first installment. Shall I open a new post for the voting? And how do we proceed? I simply collect all proposals here, and put them up to vote, or shall we discuss still further? We are not many, so I think we could come to a consensus without very formal voting procedure.
I'd make a new post and then add a comment for each soap that was nominated. We can use upvotes as the polling (ignoring downvotes, but I'll just ban anyone who downvotes! jk).
Edit: maybe also make it a rule that you can't vote for your own nomination.
Upvoting would allow anyone inethe fediverse to choose !unless you mods see who upvoted). It would adso allow for several votes per person.
I don't knok if this could be excluded if we do a Mastodon poll. I also don't know if itewould be an issue in the first place.
Yes, we can see who votes how.
Yes, mastodon polls can have their visibility set to "mentioned people only" like DMs
Multiple votes might be ok, like the photo contest on Reddit. Worst case we'll need a tie breaker.
We can see who votes so we can check for random upvotes.
Ok, so I'll post this tomorrow.
Why not vote for your own? We nominate soaps we'd like to share, so "winning" means doing volunteer work. That feels ok
If everyone voted for their own there could be 5 entries, each with a single vote (no winner). If you can't vote for your own you have to vote for something else, so the higher chance of something getting at least 2 votes.
With a small number of voters and a relatively large number of things to vote on, it makes sure there's a winner.
Ranked voting solves that problem 😊
I wish. Voting by upvote is a bit lacking compared to ranked voting!
We only a handful of people, so I suggest we
Voting by up down votes suffers from every fedinaut being able to vote, not just participants
