Why not vote for your own? We nominate soaps we’d like to share, so “winning” means doing volunteer work. That feels ok
Comment on Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club Community Shave Prep

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 😊
walden@sub.wetshaving.social 3 months ago
I wish. Voting by upvote is a bit lacking compared to ranked voting!

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.
