Rules

A community that talks about sortition/ lottocracy, a form of democracy where people are randomly chosen to lead the government.

This community is for discussion, memes, screenshots, articles everything related to Sortition. It can be humourous, informative, or even critical, but for the latter two please provide sources.

NOTE: all the rules are subject to change. I'll lay down some ground rules for now, but when mods change, they may or may not change the rules.

Rules

1. Relevant discussions only

Please keep discussion about sortition only.

Respect everyone.

3. Please back your arguments with proper citations. Be it for or against.

Make sure you're quoting credible resources while arguing or posting things.

Self promotion must be relevant to Sortition, and must require moderator permission.

Welcome to the nostalgia-filled piefed instance of yesteryear.

Open Registration with Application questionnaire.

If you have a question or comment you can post in !meta@retrofed.com or message @DosDude@retrofed.com or @Die4Ever@retrofed.com

In case of downtime and/or emergency, we will post updates on @DosDude@mastodon.social

Some rules we try to uphold:

Be civil. Bigotry is not welcome. This includes (but is not limited to): transphobia, queerphobia, racism, ageism and ableism. We do not promote hate.
Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)
