SimDemocracy has created c/SimDemocracy by order of the president.

By order of Executive Order #70

“The platforms SimDemocracy participates on shall be increased to include Lemmy.World. Management of this server shall be led by @Ghost until proper modes of management for this platform is established.” -President Katy

SimDemocracy is a unique online community on Reddit (and now on Lemmy) that allows users to participate in a simulated democratic system. It’s a vibrant digital society where every member has a voice, and can contribute in ways that shape the community’s path.

In SimDemocracy, you’re not just a passive observer - you get to be an active participant. The community offers a variety of roles such as running for political office, voting in elections, drafting legislation, debating policies, or even working as a journalist or lawyer. It’s a place where you can learn about the inner workings of a democratic system, experiment with different forms of government, and participate in a vibrant political system without the real-world consequences.

If you’ve ever been interested in politics, law, or governance, or if you’ve wondered what it might be like to run for office, argue a legal case, or draft a piece of legislation, SimDemocracy is a fantastic place to learn, grow, and have fun.

Remember, it’s not just a game - it’s a community. And in this community, your vote, your voice, and your actions can truly make a difference.

The Lemmy colony of SimDemocracy currently has no government! I will soon start an election to choose a governor to the community who will decide the rules and how the community will be moderated. ___

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
