      Anytime literally anything happens, they’re there to spin it to a PR pitch.

      Like, I don’t disagree that it’s critical. I want it. FPTP is idiotic.

      But the relentless single-mindedness is to the point where I don’t even need to check the username anymore. The fediverse is a small enough space that one person (or small group sharing an account?) can really saturate a channel.

        1. How is it a spin, when the results of the electoral system literally affect every facet of our lives?
        2. Perhaps the messaging isn’t aimed towards individuals like yourself.
        3. If you’re really bothered, the block function is available.

      I suppose, but it certainly draws attention to the movement. And on occasion discussion does come about, in which case that is the opportunity to convince people.

      And in the past 2 weeks the !fairvote@lemmy.ca has grown by 60%, so clearly something I’m doing is working.
