... and why I've divested/ retreated from farcaster. the weird "yarvin, thiel, andreeson, musk" cabal that dan finds so inspiring and helpful is deeply worrying. for reasons /besides/ farcaster: palantir is what cops use to track their ex girlfriends; yarvin thinks slavery is natural and fair; thiel is actively undermining american democracy; andreeson glazes trump on the regular with technofascist glee; and musk, well...

it's all bad. and dangerously close to home.

I dont disagree, but to me we can't abandon these spaces to the other side ( one reason Id stay in the south even if not for family obligations)

And I will say, I've got a lot of respect for Dan for not putting a thumb on speech, I've said things on here politically that in past has gotten other social media accounts nuked from orbit

Well one thing that's certainly true about this place and X: despite the bad ideologies of the owners and the goons who share them, there are so many more who absolutely disagree. I will always maintain the belief that humanity and compassion are naturally present in most people. They prove me right all the time.

I’m torn too. On the one hand, I can’t be complicit in the rise of /another/ right wing echo chamber. On the other, I refuse to let farcaster hold my attention hostage for any reason. If we bail, it turns into a right wing hell hole. If we stay, dan politely turns the screws, transforming it into a right wing hell hole anyway. Or it never spoils, succeeds wildly, and we’ve helped Dan and friends make giant piles of money. All paths are bad.
