Thanks. I'll think over everything you said. It does look like my instance could be eligible as a companion instance if executed well enough. Regarding alt accounts, I feel one must at least contribute somewhere on the instance to participate..... Yeah it's gonna be a tough problem to crack, and also the one other user pointed out, about funding. For an initial period I may run the pilot project, but when admins themselves aren't stable, it's going to create some problems.
Thanks for your feedback. I'll think over it
I'll like to see how it goes. Sortition because they believed elections meant rich can back their favorable candidates and win. With sortition, since there's no election most people who are contesting get more or less an equal footing. I am curious how did they manage to get an entire council with high participation
