I’m thinking a lot about silos. 

Farcaster requiring applications to farcon and denying people who are critical 

Brian Armstrong and other corporations offering huge payouts to employees to resign because they don’t align with “the mission”

I also don’t see how you could run a community event at that scale without some degree of moderating attendees.

Lots of decentralization fans really loving centralization of power these days.
