  • Approval voting simplifies things but also has limitations because it removes any weight/preference people may have.

    Yes, but nowhere near the problems of IRV. If those particular limitations bother you, as I said:

    If you want to take on a little complexity for some further improvement, use delegable yes/no voting.

    . . . don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

    I see zero “good” in IRV, for all the reasons outlined in the rant. Its failures are absurd and beyond unacceptable given that there are strictly better and simpler alternatives. Don’t let something shiny and terrible stop you from using something actually quite good.





  • I made my account with them early on. I signed up to subscription content to eventually get around to reading, using that address. I signed up for other services, using that address, where access to that address was my only recovery option. I joined IRL community interest groups with that address.

    Then I spent a long time without checking it, and they deactivated the account and I’ve lost all data and messages sent there.

    And lost my discord account, too. Even though I have the correct discord credentials, discord decided to lock me out unless I can confirm I still have that tuta email address.
