The Long March [NEW DOMAIN] – VOTING IS DONE, CONGRATULATIONS .CHATHEADS

Voting has lapsed! No further votes will be tallied. This is now a discussion post.

Total ballots: 288

or rather its advocates tbh but it's fun to think about these domains like the disco elysium mailbox. good domain :headpat:

synthesis has been achieved! sorrymasen to the one user who can't browse .chat domains on their work laptop :doggirl-sweat: try setting hexbear.com to the hexbear IP (should be 37.187.73.130) in your hosts file, could be a stopgap fix don't do this for now as we're looking into some server fuckery to do some preemptive prevention

  • Com was fptp Winner I bet. Ranked choice sucks. Think about all the people with awful taste who voted for the least popular choice. people with taste that bad have the highest probability that their 2nd choice is also going to be awful. Why should these people's votes count against mine, who only ranked a single, elegant, Paul-Allens-Business-card vote for hexbear.com?

    • I was actually kinda curious about this so I checked. turns out, you're not wrong :bateman-business-card:

      we would have done a runoff poll anyhow if we ran it like that, especially because the top 3 are within ≈2% of each other, and as the Schulze method tries to show through indirect victory and Condorcet generally through pairwise calcs, the narrowing would probably coagulate a lot of the eliminated options into .chat, just with people kinda grumbling about losing their ability to vote for their favorite option and having to compromise for it :catgirl-sorry:
