How did living in caves not backfire on cavemen?

Because they didn't actually live in caves that often.

The image of these people living in caves arises from the fact that caves are where the preponderance of artifacts have been found from European Stone Age cultures. However, this most likely reflects the degree of preservation that caves provide over the millennia, rather than an indication of them being a typical form of shelter. Until the last glacial period, the great majority of humans did not live in caves, as nomadic hunter-gatherer tribes lived in a variety of temporary structures, such as tents[4] and wooden huts (e.g., at Ohalo). A few genuine cave dwellings did exist, however, such as at Mount Carmel in Israel.>

[Discussion] Why voting should not be used here at all

Bad actors gonna act. How do we determine a council of trusted users? The idea of the agora is to avoid power in the hands of the few because those few might be or become the problem.

I'm not saying your argument is wrong but if someone wants to manipulate a community bad enough, they will find a way.

When the community it big enough to worry about voter manipulation then there will be resources to counter it.

[Discussion] How long does a vote need to stay up?

I don't get why people are so impatient. The amount of users on this instance that exploding heads is affecting in minute. The rules on the vote say a week and, in the discussion, people have been pointing out that defederation is not the only option, the discussion has been valuable.

This isn't life threatening so maybe just chill out and let it play its course. If it's stressing you out so much feel free to do as your username suggests and quit this instance because afaik this is an instance for people with some level of patience.
