@kfrench581 @shog9 it's still one vote, you just pick your top 3 in order of preference. And I think you can still pick only 1 if you really want to? "Voters can rank as many or as few candidates as they want to" https://t.co/fFEt0MeWBA

@biesnecker @zeynep "this week is the most worrisome development of the last four years." is complete BS. A trump re-election would have been far more worrisome.. basically, as I said, a death sentence. That said, still lots of work to do, and we can't get complacent.

@danluu let me clarify: when I say iron fisted I do mean *fair* moderation, from a *group* of moderators making decisions collectively. One common failure pattern in communities is having one person make all the decisions. Everyone has bad days, and some people truly are not good at it

@danluu the historic problem with Reddit is that they never considered moderation a primary goal (early libertarian bent) so it didn't get prioritized as a product feature. This kind of cultural thing is very difficult to fix after the fact, but they have made some progress so 👍
