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.

If a little tension and slight lean is alienating to you, imagine how people feel who stay away from twitter for the same reason. For what it's worth I highly doubt that leftist views will ever be dominant here due specifically to Dan and other prominent voices being highly conservative leaning. So you're still pretty safe here...
