On @anoncast... I've seen a lot of comparisons to anonymous web2 social networks (Whisper, YikYak, etc) which burned out quick / trended to the worst form of engagement bait (racism, sensationalism, gossip, ...) Mechanism design matters. Crowd deletion/curation, now reveals, and other new ideas have potential for a different outcome IMO

Should consumer crypto be skeuomorphic? No - because it’s a historical anti pattern for other tech platform shifts Yes - because the innovation occurs in the biz model / monetization / incentives Wdyt?

the constraint of onchain money is so beautiful because you are forced to do more with less money since it only goes down

Has anyone tried “Stake to Follow”? You have to stake to follow me. I have unilateral ability to slash you. If you’re worried you’ll be slashed, don’t follow me.

Is there a website dedicated to presenting all of the objective facts about J6? Timelines, quotes, videos, legal proceedings/charges/convictions, etc? Should be as unbiased as possible, everything sourced to data as maximally upstream as capable. This is the crux of the election to many yet still feels like there are only slanted narratives presented.

Idle thought: How will X's emphasis on a pure algo feed affect crypto? Follower graph matters less compared to engagement signal. CT becomes more like TikTok crypto scene. More micro echo chambers? Faster mimetic velocity but weaker durability?
