It feels like Farcaster is starting to lean left in ways I personally don't really love.

This is a great opportunity to foster open dialogue about values and politics in the web3 space and online in general.

We've shown that solidarity and community can conquer ignorance and hate, and can put the reactionaries and capitalists on the back foot.

Instead of chasing them off, we can build class solidarity across the whole web3 space by filling their comments with thought-provoking invitations to discuss how *all* web3 workers can coordinate across social differences to build a world where everyone can thrive. <3

Lmfao i just wish they'd stop blaming us for liberals, like its so stressful to like have to debate in bad faith all the time

Yeah, and it's also important to recognize when someone is just poorly-informed. That's an opportunity to help deconstruct those rhetorical traps.

If we even do that much, we're helping to bring folks a little closer toward class consciousness. From there, class solidarity can begin to emerge.

I don’t feel persuasion on social media is a priority. Politics happens in the real world

My hope is that happens through what we build more so than what we say.

We don't get a lot of "real world" touchpoints in this industry unfortunately :(
