Im not sorry, but doesn't this sound like a scam?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Lol have you seen my posting history?

Edit: while yes, it could be a scam. But for what purpose? If I am lying, then all those people who subscribed got duped into subscribing to a proportional representation community? That's not a big harm.

But I'm not lying, and will stay true to the post.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Wow you really commented back sounding even more scammy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Here to troll eh

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I guess you caught me, it is a big scam /s

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Awesome little community event you got started!

Time to post a meme to get $20 out of you ;)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Memes tend to get more attention than articles!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

That’s true as they’re funny and easy to understand.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Subscribed!

Multiple accounts created by the same person will count as only one subscription

How will this be enforced?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

In a manner as Canadian, as possible given the current situation.

I was kinda surprised I hadn't subscribed yet. I'd seen posts from here quite a few times.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Imagine if you hadn't checked!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

That's an additional $1!

If I (a US citizen) subscribe for this challenge, does that count as foreign election interference?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Yes, that would be foreign election interference. However, it would be justifiable in a free and democratic society.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Subscribbled! Do you guys not have proper voting yet?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Not yet, but with consistent political pressure, we will get proportional representation!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Well, keep it up! You deserve proper representation!
