Am I correct in thinking we're skipping February for BVWSC?

@porkbuttsntaters666@sub.wetshaving.social has been the only one managing the voting process, should we have a discussion about how to more fairly share that burden?

Well, I completely screwed up on this - I suggest we revert to a Tabac shave for February.

I will launch prep for March tomorrow. Burden-sharing in launching the prep in not really necessary - it's not much work, but I need a reminder sometimes.

One thing is also that you and walden have been winning an awful lot recently, so maybe some burdensharing on that side would be fair ๐Ÿคท

The natural suggestion is for folks to propose better soaps! ;)

~~In related news, there's a new feature coming to PieFed in an upcoming release. On Lemmy we have a local-only community to handle voting, but people from PieFed don't see those posts unless they log in to Lemmy (local-only means no federation). The new feature will be invite-only communities, meaning we could create the BVWSC voting community on PieFed and everyone will see those posts. Only people who are invited can join.~~

I've been informed that these communities won't federate, actually. So it's still just local-only, but with an added layer of needing an invite. So, nevermind!

Ah, that would be very cool if it worked how you thought it would.
