You probably would want to link the subreddit vote next time you claim there are extreme disparities between the vote count and user count. The mods may very well have not given enough time for people to vote, or people just plain didn’t vote at all. But we don’t know, except from your claim.
The users who vote will ALWAYS be much less than the people who lurk on social media, no exceptions. I’m of the opinion that if you don’t vote/engage in the community you’re in, you are complicit to anything the active users decide. Democracy.
I am pro-shutdown, but two subreddits that come to mind that revolted against their mods participating in the protest are r/nba and r/eggs_irl.
I’d quit at that point if I were them.
Literally any sub with more than a dozen users had an extreme disparity between user count and vote counts 😂
Not to mention the polls were all gone not long after they closed on most subs. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out why.
I mean, going by the 90/9/1 rule, it’s not unnatural if only 10% of users or less showed up to vote. Hell, if only 1% voted I won’t be surprised either.
The subreddit I moderate has had a poll going for the last 2.5 days.
It’s a disappointing turnout. Also, I’m one of those poll respondents and commenters. (If you remind me, I’ll post a link to the poll once it closes in 8 hours.)
I’ve had one going for 3 days now, 2k members, 160 votes and 7 comments. I was pretty surprised to see even 160 votes, its a vote for blocking a certain type of post that has been spammed recently and doesn’t contribute much.
Anecdotally, I also experienced this, maybe I just missed the polls, but I only saw a handful.
