    I’ve not been banning people just for the word vote, l’ve been banning people for telling others to vote or who to vote for.

    That bit was hyperbole because I thought you were taking the rules too far.

    Do you really expect an anarchist space to have a rule against criticizing members of the political class?

    No? And I’m not sure where that came from. Regardless I appreciate the rules update.

    I doubt anything happening on lemmy will have a huge impact on the election. Direct action in your local community will always have the greatest impact.

    I do believe that posts about a candidate without
    talking about how you plan on voting (and why) is a net-negative. There’s great value in saying “this is why I don’t like this candidate, but I am still voting for them”.

    I know you love saying “we’re all adults who can make their own decisions” but that ignores the obvious truth that every bit of information you take in will affect your reality. We are nothing but our past experiences.

      I really don’t care to tell people who to vote for but if you really want to know I don’t live in a state that’s competitive so I’m most likely going to write in something that mocks our dumpster fire of a democracy.
