Hello! I really like my feed: I learn lots of new things about #infosec, #crypto, #coops and #opensource.
However I'm missing some things--can you help me find them?
I want to talk more about people, working with them, their limitations and potential. I want to talk about #governance, #facilitation, #voting, #cognitivebiases and other concrete things that can be tried (and falsified) in #groups.
Let me know if you're interested, or boost if you think you have followers who are interested.
😀
@douginamug If you speak French and you want to talk about #CognitiveBias and #CriticalThinking there's @HygieneMentale
I don't know any expert on voting systems, except #cgpgrey. But I don't think he's on Mastodon.
@douginamug
Concerning #voting, you may be interested by the #MajorityJudgment which is judged by its authors to be “superior to any known method of voting and to any known method of judging competitions, in theory and in practice”.

@julm @nemoudeis @HygieneMentale Thanks! I'll look into Majority judgment again. I'm a big fan of scoring as a way of expressing yourself in voting methods, however I remember being a bit skeptical of the decision rule based on the median and not the average score, but I'm motivated to look again now :)
@douginamug
On score voting methods, read chap17 (at least intro and outro) of the textbook on #MajorityJudgement

Using medians is much less manipulable than sums or averages (which become more and more manipulable as the expressing scale grows).
And medians can preserve unchanged the expressing judgments, whereas a sum or an average is not necessarily an input, hence actually meaningless within the #CommonLanguage of the voters
