We only a handful of people, so I suggest we
- Vote in text form because it allows for ranked voting that yields the right result without run off elections or similar shenanigans or
- A Mastodon poll knowing that it might require runoff polls if the winner doesn’t have a majority.
Voting by up down votes suffers from every fedinaut being able to vote, not just participants

I’d make a new post and then add a comment for each soap that was nominated. We can use upvotes as the polling (ignoring downvotes, but I’ll just ban anyone who downvotes! jk).

Upvoting would allow anyone inethe fediverse to choose !unless you mods see who upvoted). It would adso allow for several votes per person.
I don’t knok if this could be excluded if we do a Mastodon poll. I also don’t know if itewould be an issue in the first place.

Yes, we can see who votes how.
Yes, mastodon polls can have their visibility set to “mentioned people only” like DMs

Multiple votes might be ok, like the photo contest on Reddit. Worst case we’ll need a tie breaker.
We can see who votes so we can check for random upvotes.

Ok, so I’ll post this tomorrow.

Why not vote for your own? We nominate soaps we’d like to share, so “winning” means doing volunteer work. That feels ok
walden@sub.wetshaving.social 3 months ago
If everyone voted for their own there could be 5 entries, each with a single vote (no winner). If you can’t vote for your own you have to vote for something else, so the higher chance of something getting at least 2 votes.
With a small number of voters and a relatively large number of things to vote on, it makes sure there’s a winner.

Ranked voting solves that problem 😊
