The early voting for the Midterms is now available in many places. You can early vote at a polling place: https://www.eac.gov/voters/register-and-vote-in-your-state

Or you can use mail-in voting: https://www.eac.gov/voters/national-mail-voter-registration-form

It's highly recommended to avoid election day voting in person, and vote early.

Complain about it when it's useless or damaging. Voting isn't, and reminding people to do so isn't either.

    There is a bot reposting Christian AI slop. Your moral preferences that one is a priority and the other are irrelevant to them both being spam.

    If you think voting is a priority, post about it. Comment about it. Do not set up a spam bot about it.

    All spam is damage.

    The bot is doing a great job reminding people to vote, I'd prefer to let it continue doing so. No need to have a person remember to post the same message every day for a few weeks, that's exactly what automation is for

    Tropical, you’re barking up the wrong tree.

    I waited 3 weeks for anyone do start anything grassroots here on lemmy to encourage early voting. Nobody posted anything. I designed a couple of cards and created a community. The bot is posting them because I’m not chronically online.

    This is happening because nothing else was happening. You are far more online than I am, engaging in many more communities than me too. In your post history you haven’t mentioned early voting once, so I’m not sure early voting is as important to you as posting a lettuce meme.

    So far, of all the cards posted I am the only one crossposting them.

    You can block this community, you can block the bot if you don’t want to see its posts in /new. You can block me if you don’t want to see the crossposts until Nov 3. I highly recommend those options as I will not tolerate anything that comes even close to voting discouragement in this community.

    Then just post it yourself instead of using a spam bot. And if you can't be online enough to do it, then don't do it, because it's obviously not a priority for you.

    And if it is a priority, then get engaged and post and comment and steer those discussions.

    But don't just add spam to an already spam filled space. It's not an acceptable option. If you don't have time either make time or don't do it.

    What you’re describing sounds like an overal personal problem with bots being part of the infrastructure of an online community, and once again I am the wrong person and this is the wrong community to discuss this.
