Quilibrium

Not to sound like a FC Maxi, but my priors here are that if this was a serious movement it would have launched on Farcaster. This seems more like a desire to have another bully pulpit on elon's personal server farm, not actually to push forward Ethereum's cypherpunk endgame. I've said it before: actions speak louder than words, and willingness to use a social medium based on Ethereum is a revealed preference that tells me 80-90% of what I need to know, even though it reads like venue bias.

Ethereum stopped being a cypherpunk movement in 2017 (the ICO era). There is still a remnant and many are on Farcaster, but I don't think that is what defines Farcaster. Farcaster is more of an ETH-maxi social incubator.

If you want cypherpunk social, /quilibrium is probably the closest with Nostr as a close second.

Curious what do you think the litmus test is here, I'm more of a big tent guy, I'd even call BlueSky cypherpunk. What I do know is that elon's personal server farm is not it.

wrt to BlueSky, I'd say the vibe is so anti-cypto it does not represent the cypherpunk ethos

I've been pondering something (with a few other people that left Farcaster). Could you build a BSky client with an embedded wallet and bootstrap a crypto social there?

Heh, agreed.

For me, cypherpunk in a sentence would be "ppl writing code that empowers the sovereignty, Liberty, and privacy rights of the individual." BSky's self-sovereign identity design lends itself to this, and the open API would allow anyone to add crypto as an overlay.
