I'd accept a totalitarian dictator over that incessant ceaseless droning any day... its like being permanently channel locked on c-span...

I always eyeroll at the hyperbole of people who claim to desire excessive murderous evils over minor personal annoyances. It's like when a toddler tells you they can't eat something they personally find "yucky" or else they might die, only with a slightly more developed lexicon, a sense of irony and a significantly more embarrassing social footprint. Whoever cooked a toddler's meal is not likely to think the kid is culpable for the implications about their cooking skill vis a vis being poisonously inedible, whereas even a teenager implying they'd prefer one of history's many horrific totalitarian regimes over spam email they can filter is probably insulting to any number of people who identify with ancestral groups butchered by one of those regimes, given the assumed level of self-awareness, intelligence and respect for others commensurate to respect demanded in a person considered a young adult (much less someone older). Irony and hyperbole in, say, Oscar Wilde's hands are not the same thing as unthinkingly using irony and hyperbole, by a long shot (and even Wilde dropped a couple unthinking stinkers in the midst of his well-crafted genius every once in a while). Not asking for an apology or a modification of behaviour, just being frank about my thought-link between dictatorship and "cleansing", totalitarianism and gulags, fascism and concentration camps, and what a "joke" trivializing that stuff to the level of spam triggers in me. That said, and to bring it back on topic, the Commonwealth encourages you to vote twice a week minimum, according to Rimward, and I'm willing to bet a portion of the populace ask their muses to filter out all but the votes the muses thinks they'd want to hear about, and asking them to stop notification until next week once they've voted twice (with another, smaller portion who don't care about the constant rep hits from fellow Titanians who frown on the non-voters among them). In other words, I think the sentiment buried under Baalbamoth's hyperbole (that unfiltered voting reminders for literally every vote would be annoying enough to be very rarely enabled and that even the minimum of reminders could rub the most apathetic sections of the populace the wrong way) probably holds true with enough Commonwealth citizens to make it a common mesh thread topic to stumble across. Public engagement is apparently quite high though, as per Rimward, so I imagine the vocal minority on this one don't get much sympathy from elsewhere in the Commonwealth (although people from other polities in the system probably make fun of it/criticize it and point to these stray voices in the flock to support their stances/embellish their jokes).
