A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

He's right

Nobody should be allowed to vote. It isn't a right that needs gatekeeping

Nobody should be allowed to vote! Everyone should be FORCED to vote!

Genuinely, voting should be compulsory, even if you vote is "abstain". It should be easy, convenient and society and businesses should make way for everyone to get to vote.

Apparently Australians get sausages for voting. I'm envious of such a political structure.
