  • Is the primary that big of a deal? Given the limited time for campaigning it seems reasonable that the party appoints a candidate they can all get behind.

    I don’t really understand though - we don’t have primaries here. We expect our politicians to exhibit the suitability for the role by convincing their colleagues to back them - kinda like they’ll have to do in the wider government should they get elected. The parties just publish their lists of candidates (ranked) and we just vote for the party.

    As someone who’s not used these things, what’s wrong with a basic handshake to establish the comms channel?

    “Hey, are you listening?”

    “Yes, go ahead.”

    Isn’t that all this really is?

    Seems a weird thing for people to be uptight about.

    Perhaps I don’t really understand - looking at the world news community on lemmy.ml rule 1 seems to be about only posting links to news articles. None of the things on the mod log screenshot look like news articles. Isn’t this the mods doing their jobs correctly?

    The OP’s situation seems completely different to this and it’s definitely a problem - what am I missing about the rule 1 stuff though?
