From this announcement, in my opinion.

I would like to use star.vote, if at all possible, but I understand it would be harder to control who is eligible to vote on an external site.

It'll be interesting to see how the current plan works and what refinements are made.

Try Seal & VLC instead of streaming.

Also, LibreTorrent is useful for when you want to download something small.

If you like pictures, there is a visualization of the RCV/IRV flaws.

Is it too late to add the link?

They've been essentially read-only for years, in my experience. It's stupid to go closed source, but they weren't easy to work with to get things fixed before now either.

I posted a link for this. The custom tabs documentation is at: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/android/custom-tabs/

RCV/IRV has been a scam for more than a century. Please look into how that was invented and how it actually performed. More than half the places that tried it actually removed it.

I don't know why people keep being fooled by complexity, but they do.

Nay.

I don't like bots much, but this is still an assumption. I don't want to get into preventative de-federation, if it is at all possible to avoid it.

The Meta/Facebook instance(s) should be though.

Why are you trying to view everything and ban things you don't like instead of viewing your subscriptions and only joining communities you do like?

CPG Grey has a lot of good videos, but ranked voting is not the way.

Arrow's Impossibility Theorem makes this very clear.

https://star.vote/ is a good site to keep handy if you're looking for a more expressive voting system.

By default, choosing approval voting is the simplest way with very good performance.

Why would my way of counting the approval ratio rather than approval-only be of any disadvantage?

That's just how voting systems work. Even seemingly insignificant changes to the algorithm can have outsized impacts on how well it performs.

Plurality versus Approval is a specific example of this. Just changing "choose one" to "choose as many as you approve of" significantly impacts the amount of data that's captured and often the outcome because of the effects on voters' behaviors.

I liked the suggestion of more information. When we have it all figured out those details should be included as you suggested.
