Read my reply to ziq, I think you both misunderstood me a bit.

No, I mean the process by which administrative power is delegated and recalled. It's too easy to manipulate, and not 'official' enough, in my opinion at least. For now it works, but if Raddle starts growing It'll be a struggle to maintain properly.

You hit the nail on the head, thanks.

Take a look at /f/konsent. It might not be fit for online communities, but it's an interesting project for organizing in the real world.

It's a good way to demonstrate that democracy is a farce and replicating it here just so people can feel like they have decision-making power is a bad move. None of us have power or we wouldn't be on f/anarchism.

Could we use, as an alternative to Konsent's direct democracy system, a Loomio setup hosted on the same site as Raddle with our own 'rules' for it aiming for consensus rather than consensus-based democracy? Based on my experiences with it its a very useful tool, though I haven't tried it in an 'open' environment.

Idk, it would have to tested to see what results from it sociologically.
