Decentralized Civics

The psychological mechanisms that drive the airdrop farmer are so powerful. What are the best ways that we can prototype having civic institutions do airdrops in order to get large numbers of people to engage in socially-beneficial behaviors?

Cool civic tech event coming up at the Internet Archive in SF on June 8th, for anyone interested. Thanks @cstreet for letting me know about it! https://t.co/zD8igvMrBV

Who is casting about the #GG20 round here! @opencivics rocks it again!

Finally finished reading the declaration, articles of confederation, constitution, and all 85 federalist papers, from a PoV of curiosity around P2P protocol-based statecraft. 

Any discourse in this vein of things people would recommend?

Any of the @opencivics team here? 👀

Democracies exist in complex environments, not silos.. Deliberative democracy tools are often either too monolithic or narrow in scope to integrate into existing workflows.

web3 can fix this by bringing the ethos of cooperation and interoperability to the space, but only if we *actually use* and extend these tools.

"Civic never sleeps" 

Communities after epidemic must regain momentum to move forward together. In a year with many democratic countries holding elections, we hope that the g0v Summit can continue to remain a place to gather, listen, find common ground and build collaboration.

Just submitted a proposal for the next @opencivics QF round to be included for matching as a GG20 Community Round! Would appreciate any ideas/feedback, either here or on the forum:

The quest for more biodiversity in nature is similar to the quest for more decentralization in society.

Hey! Who is at ETH Denver? I am completely new to whatever this is (Decentralized Civics), but it sounds amazing and I would love to get connected.

Please, let's meet up! I'm here all week

I’m here because of my love to everything the founders of Open Civics are working on https://opencivics.substack.com/p/2023-retrospective 

Serious question tho, am I the only one pronouncing DeCiv as deceive? I’m sad.. 

Possible to rename it to DeCivic?
