SimDemocracy

Greetings everyone its time for the first election on this strange new lemmy.word! We will use google forms and first past the post for the first election. Who will win? Vote here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScmBXz_dHLny6MF29N0qMwEOFYEHQTvEuUaGOCTf6RMOFK9lg/viewform

This community will probs create its own discord eventually but for now here is the old SimDem Server: https://discord.gg/fj97xAg2jr

Add things you want ensconced as freedoms for sub members and responsibilities for elected officials as individual comments in this thread. Anything with a positive number of up votes will go into the first draft. We'll compose the first draft in one week.

I really appreciate y'all choosing me as governor! I don't really know what I'm doing, so I'll be seeking help from the old subreddit and the discord server. However, Lemmy is its own platform, and it has its own values, and our democracy should reflect that. I look forward to helping us form a functioning democracy that is representative of the community.

Congrats to them and to the owl party for their historic election.

I intend to NOT interfere in how the local government decides to run this community unless I'm directly ordered to by the president of simdemocracy or the senate or if the government is acting against lemmy.world terms of service. You are free to make the rules. You are free to not make rules. You are free to make your own discord. You are free to make your own flag even Otherwise be free to run or ruin this community in whatever way the voters want, however I hope you choose to set up some sort of basic rules for how its run.

**Time to elect the Governor! 🗳️** This is the Governor Call for Candidates. If you want to be Governor, please comment on this thread. Include your username, party affiliation (or lack thereof) and a statement explaining your platform and why you believe you are a good candidate. The format you should adhere to is as follows: (Your Username) | (Your political party) (Your candidate statement) Good Luck!

The Lemmy World SimDemocracy community has been formed? How will we use this new form? Idk. but I think we should start by setting up a way of governing it. Perhaps we should organize elections?
