      This whole shutdown has really brought out a level of excessive vitriol that made me view some users differently. Ill prob keep posting in the sub too but hmmm.

        Right?! How quickly did some folks turn? Some names I would’ve called level headed were spearheading the lynch mob.

        It bothers me greatly that so many didn’t care at all that the melb sub was a great support during the lockdowns and continues to be a support.

          Man, that reminds me of how much I miss the lockdowns. They were the best year of my life by far.

      Those stats are insane to me. r/Melbourne subscribers are WAY less engaged than I thought. only 700 votes and 400 were valid due to karma limit and proper vote wording. That’s incredibly tiny representation. Far out.

      Perhaps it was the time limits on voting

      Interestingly about 1/3 voted for some form of protest which is way more than I imagined would.

        Yeah, I get that you don’t want to have trolls and bigraders skewing the results, but I still think people deserve a vote even if they’ve only got 100 karma.

        But I agree with (who I assume is Seagoon here) Seagoon_Memoirs where they said that with 248 votes being invalid, the poll was poorly set up and run. Of course, the people who supported everything back to business are going to see this poll as fair.
