[EM] Electorama community on reddit alternative lemmy.world

[Rob Lanphier]

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.
