Hi folks,
As many of you know, /r/EndFPTP has become the de facto electoral-reform subreddit over on reddit. Many of you post here because you don't agree with the general consensus over at /r/EndFPTP, or maybe you got banned over there. Regardless, if you're interested in big online forums that aren't reddit to reach new folks, this email is for you!
There's a reddit alternative that seems to have critical mass to talk politics/etc called "Lemmy". Lemmy is decentralized, but I believe that "lemmy.world" is the largest instance of Lemmy, so I created an electoral-reform community there (A "community" on Lemmy is a "subreddit" on reddit.): https://lemmy.world/c/electorama
Note that I haven't promoted /c/electorama much yet, so it's pretty quiet right now. But I did at least post the ElectoramaNews to /c/politics on Lemmy.world and got a few upvotes: https://lemmy.world/post/41079275
Lemmy obviously doesn't have the reddit folks too worried, and Lemmy still has plenty of usability issues, but I think it stands a good chance of having its moment in the sun eventually. Regardless of whether it ever becomes even 0.01% as successful as reddit, there's a community of people over there that talk politics, and some of them may not know as much about the Condorcet criterion or monotonicity as they should. Even though it's a smaller audience, it's not nothing.
