Farcaster

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

Some of it is low quality election-related posting. Another part is this “crypto is actually leftist” vibe (libertarian socialism, anarchism, DAOs as governance, etc.).

I have 0 problem with people who believe in those things organizing on here. But if that becomes the dominant ethos of Farcaster, it will alienate me and, I suspect, many others.

I'd like to double-click on that alienation piece.. Do you think leftist folks haven't been feeling alienated in crypto this whole time? The dominant ethos in crypto overall has been right-leaning for a long time.

I'd invite you to join us in embracing social differences and solving this problem of alienation together.

It's okay to coexist with other who share differing beliefs. Your feeling of a political shift is proof that we've had to do so for a looong time, and we're still here. You can do the same. No reason to leave.
