Aaron @aaronyes.bsky.social · 07/12/2024verifying identity to get an account back is legal and fairly normal (tho a bit invasive for my liking) my guess is a lot of people report palestinian donation links as scams which unfortunately effects some legit ones. I don't think it's fair to see it as bluesky going after palestinians though 081

With the crazy commutes most people do now, and voting trends among young people, is it not crazy #GE24 took place on a working Friday? 3204

Reposted by AaronLaura O’Farrell @leabharcons.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Perhaps before arguing for compulsory turnout, we could consider that a party leader couldn’t vote yesterday because she was in hospital having a baby. How about we widen access to postal votes & deal with the state of the electoral register first and see what that does to turnout? #ge24 2449

We need to make sure and protect those positive things! 13912

Aaron @aaronyes.bsky.social · 30/11/2024a certain number of people are going to get elected no matter what, leaving them blank won't just make the seat evaporate. again your lower preferences cant effect your higher ones so you may as well have a say all the way down. its your vote up to you but it is mathematically most effective 200

Aaron @aaronyes.bsky.social · 29/11/2024it gives them a vote OVER the rest that you hate even more. it doesnt effect your higher preferences 000
Aaron @aaronyes.bsky.social · 29/11/2024I get the repulsion but it is technically most effective to use every preference. if it comes down to that all your higher preferences are either in or out anyways, so you might as well have a say if it comes down to a racist vs nazi 120

Aaron @aaronyes.bsky.social · 28/11/2024reminder that leaving multiple blank candidates is essentially just giving them all a tied preference, unless you rly see them all as equal this will only benefit the ones you hate the most yes it feels dirty to write something next to a prick but the maths doesn't lie. use your preferences! #ge24 062
