does this channel have rules or bylaws? earnest question is there some (written or unwritten) standard? is there a threshold at which one could be banned or removed from the channel? are there moderators beyond @basche42? regardless if it's 1 mod or multiple, are they following some kind of code or just winging it? by contrast, does this channel have ethos or goals? is there some kind of content we explicitly want here? it's a pickle bc recently the definition of "left" has been called into question, so now i gotta wonder, is there an accepted meaning here? or is this space for anyone who self-identifies as left, whatever that means to them? but mostly i ask bc recently ive noticed what i consider to be anti-left content (not inclusive, anticommunist, or pro-liberalism) so im curious about what we intend to tolerate here, and if this is a space i want to participate in or a space i want to leave quietly to be clear, my personal preference would be strong leadership of a few people making strict rules.

I feel like, at a certain size (certainly <1400), community members are entitled to some clear guidelines and shared principles. Otherwise it can be hard to make decisions about our participation like you're saying. ..I also don't think anyone wants to harsh the vibe by playing peoples' court, so having a few simple and easily interpereted rules (both social and/or programmatic) seems appropriate. We can deal with content that make people feel unwelcome or unsafe here, and leave the rest to the debate floor IMO. I'd love to see some deliberation and consensus building around this... Anyone one interested?? I have a Votecaster account and labor to contribute personally. We do have some mods, and some tentative plans for empowering them and decentralizing admin duties. I would guess that group is open to those active members willing and ready to contribute?

The most defining attribute of “cryptoleft” to me is believing in the power of blockchain technology broadly and cryptocurrency specifically to achieve social and economic justice policy goals. This is a huge break from many prominent self-identified leftists (like Greta Thunberg) who devote enormous, successful effort to savaging blockchain technology— to a point where “leftist” “environmentalist” acolytes swarm out of Discords and Subreddits to eviscerate any person or business daring to dabble in blockchain tech. That’s all I came looking for here. “Woah, leftists who don’t believe blockchain tech and proof-of-work crypto is the apocalypse?!? Such people EXIST?!? I’M IN!”
