Comment on Vote Now for the 2024 Lemmy Anime Awards

Now that I’m voting I’m realizing that this system seems especially harsh on shows that not many people watched. If a user leaves a bubble blank that’s equivalent to a 0? Ouch. If people don’t read the instructions they might not realize that they’re unintentionally trashing shows they know nothing about.

I agree with you, but I don’t think there is a good way around the issue of name recognition. My preferred voting method (ranked-choice voting) still would have had that issue, but perhaps a bit less punishing. However, the problem that I ran into with the ranking question type used by this survey software is that it wasn’t compatible across browsers. That is why I fell back to doing STAR voting instead. I think either is better than simple multiple choice in which you can only vote for a single nominee in each category though.

This is something I am going to try to work on for the future if we do something like this again.

  I have ideas. Something I wanted for the LN community since day one but don’t see ever happening there. Let’s get some mods together on discord after this one is done

not many people watched

If not many people watch a show, then it doesn’t deserve to be at the top of their category.

I think that’s true of any kind of awards voting…

  Yes, but the effect is stronger with some voting systems than others.
