I counted 43 ayes. 43 vs over 2000 active users. That is why those early votes should not and most likely will not be honored.
Votes should be held in a way that makes it apparent for users that they are happening, for example by giving a server-wide announcement. They shouls further run for at least a week, if not longer. They also need to be clear in their wording, concise and easy to find.
Worked on, not fixed. It's an important distinction.
Not cancel the votes but new people will ofc have the possibility to bring existing rules newly to discussion. It may be totally reasonable to review rules, assuming they can get outdated. And ideally, yes, if it was a real community (real verifyable persons) then any new member must be asked if they had any objections to the existing rules, and given the opportunity to newly discuss them (or add to a constantly ongoing discussion). It just isn't all too practical in certain circumstances.
Well, i was implicitely talking about sh.itjust.works, where the owner just opened up all but their most vital rules to be discussed and decided upon by the users. This applies regardless of the age of a user account. ... And then i was talking about an ideal, in-person situation ... which we don't have here.
Nice strawman.
I actually have to agree with you, I don't like defederation because the way that all dictatorships got into power was by manipulating the flow of information.
OP and the person making the strawman are bad faith actors trying to lie their way to returning to "Web 2.0", or for the evulz.
I'm probably as left as you can get socially and I always advocate for inclusivity, and am against defederation because then you're causing them to just have an echo chamber and then any unknowing party on that instance is just going to get blasted with only that shit and then you've just done the recruiting job for them.
