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 âcrypto is actually leftistâ 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.

1. I lean leftist and I suspect we have more in common than is immediately obvious (personally I feel there is a lot of overlap/compatibility/synergy between seemingly-conflicting ideologies if only we abandon labels for a second), happy to explore that more if you're into it. :) 2. FWIW I feel that Farcaster as a whole is moderately anti-leftist. I'd say the majority of people are terrified of leftist labels and aren't willing to even entertain their underlying concepts independently. (See screenshot) 3. I am curious to hear more about what makes you feel alienated, though?

RE: 3 - my opinion is that crypto is a radically anti-leftist technology. It rejects the collective - most importantly the state - in favor of the individual. Thatâs part of why I am in crypto. So when I see leftism on a crypto-forward app like Farcaster, I believe itâs self-defeating.

Iâd argue crypto is radically anti-communist but not all leftists believe in Communism or a form of collectivism

What is leftism if not socialism?

Well one issue is conflating socialism with communism. They are different and Americans love to use them interchangeably. But beyond socialism and communism, theres a whole swathe of political ideologies. An example of a pro-crypto left leaning ideology would be Anarchism.
