Democracy means that power is held by the people. It doesn't mean that if you don't like it you can leave.

    It's called "voting with your feet". Being free to leave is power. Means a hell of a lot more than up- and down-doots.

    In a democracy the vote determines policy.

    But this is obvious. Right?

    You saw the whole paragraph where I talked about how lemmy is not a democracy, right? And literally cited this as one if the reasons why?

    Like I get that you're probably responding to multiple subthreads right now, but it only takes a few seconds to scroll up.
