The Agora
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.

This topic came up in a couple of posts here before, with different proposed solutions like
I too see the potential for fake votes becoming a problem, but at the moment i don't like the solutions.
at some point we probably will have to vote on it. ;)
Edit: typo and formating
I still hold that "who should get to vote" should depend on what the vote is for; I could see some policies being restricted to donating members when the policy in question involves how actual money should be spent, where votes to add/subtract moderators or amend the instance's policies would be open to all members of the instance.
Given the recently announced policy of votes first being announced a week ahead of time to allow for discussion, I think an effective way to prevent an influx of brigade accounts would be to limit votes to members whose cake days are before the topic was announced. Should cut down on the "signed up a few hundred times to vote" issue.
I'm also going to ask: What votes are we going to hold here in the shitjustworks agora that will attract that much attention? Electing mods of !main and !agora?
Sure but it's like the problem on voting for the solution is you are gonna have the guy with 50 votes voting on the solution.
