Of course it's democracy. One dollar, one vote!

But "demos" mean people in ancient Greek so it should probably be renamed to "whatever the word for money is in Greek" -cracy.

Apologies to the international apes on this one, I'm sure this totally doesn't apply to where you live ;)

woah, what happened with the upvotes here?!? most posts I see have a few dozen upvotes at most, here this one's 400+

Let's hope the bots haven't migrated to lemmy too!

Lemmy is federated with huge servers.

The other 300 votes are likely from lemmy.ml and lemmy.world.

But don't discount the >1k people directly watching the drs lemmy.
