cryptoleft

Exploring Bluesky has been good. It reminded me the tech-optimist leftist bubble I've been in.

The AI hatred among the left (yes, it's not just the libs) is insane.

There are meaningful conversations to have around consent, scabbing, unemployment, social upheaval. It's coming and we will HAVE TO talk about these eventually. But instead, the left is abandoning reality and leaving it to the right to shape the narrative.

Power consolidation=evil.

I’ve also found more pro-crypto and AI leftists on Bluesky than anywhere else; maybe even more than Farcaster.

It’s been refreshing. And there’s soooooo much anarchist content on Bluesky, it’s crazy! 

The compliment of these two  “platforms” is much more realized than any other combination I’ve tried.

Regarding my first statement, this is because in terms of sheer numbers there are fewer leftists on Farcaster. 

Many progressive liberals, and many socially progressive folks on the economic right. And many many more anti-socially progressive, neoliberals

Oh ok here are the packs I followed. They are not necessarily left or crypto aligned but they’re good lists with a lot of overlap to techno-optimist left. After all they are on an open social protocol based social network.
