Welcome to the lemmy.fiftyfifty.one Community! 🌐

We’re thrilled to have you here in our official Lemmy instance, a space that serves as the national hub for our movement. This platform is designed to aggregate decisions and discussions from state communities, and through federation with 50501.chat, it enables you to have a direct impact on the decisions that matter most.

What is 50501.chat?

In addition to this space, we are federated with 50501.chat, our user community. This community serves as the place where the general population shares ideas, posts, and debates topics related to both local and national issues. It’s where you’ll see the heartbeat of the broader conversation happening across the movement.

The /c/Decisions Endorsement System

Here’s where things get interesting: /c/Decisions is our endorsement system, designed to elevate key discussions and proposals to a more formal decision-making process.

• Posts that gain traction in 50501.chat will be pushed to /c/Decisions for broader engagement.
• Posts that rise to the top within a specified timeframe will then move to a ranked-choice voting system, where users can help endorse or reject proposals.

How You Can Contribute:

• Vote and Endorse: As a part of this federated network, your participation in endorsing posts on 50501.chat directly influences the ranked-choice voting here.
• Debate and Comment: Commentary is encouraged! Adding your thoughts and perspectives to the discussion is a key part of the process. Your insights help shape the decisions that are made, so don’t hesitate to join the debate.
• The power of this community lies in its ability to aggregate and reflect the will of the people. Your engagement and endorsement of posts contribute to the larger national conversation—making your voice heard far beyond just your local state.

We’re excited to see how this new structure helps drive change, and we encourage you to jump in, discuss, vote, and make an impact!
