Decentralized Civics
/deciv83
Discussion around how peer-to-peer technology can decentralize and streamline civic and democratic processes.
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?
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?

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?

Machiavelli on statecraft, from The Discourses, section "How many Kinds of States there are and of what Kind was that of Rome"
Instead of trying to use these technologies for local governance, maybe it would be better to focus on networked governance?
need to organize a small group, pool resources and spend them on things that benefit the group. think starting with a group of digital nomads could be cool
(maybe with tokyo connection?)

Holonym is hosting a Hacker House for ETH Denver 2024, with subsidies and stipends to help with costs! If any devs want to work on ZK projects, especially relating to /desci and /deciv, you are encouraged to apply.

We have #DePIN but what do you call decentralized social infrastructure? DeSIN doesn't seem right, and it's not quite deCIV or deGOV either
pact.social is a good example of a deciv project, especially if you consider letters to local representatives. Combine this with zk-KYC (like what Holonym is doing), and you can account for which signers reside in which districts/jurisdictions.
One of the leading examples, which I have yet to properly dive into, is g0v, "a multi-centered citizen science and technology community initiated in Taiwan, focuses on information transparency, open results, and open collaboration"
