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

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:

@ssj2 I’m doing some Statecraft on Tap, live in Denver! On Federalist #8:
Machiavelli on statecraft, from The Discourses, section "How many Kinds of States there are and of what Kind was that of Rome"

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"

Welcome to the DeCiv Farcaster channel! This is intended as a hub for discussion and networking around "decentralized civics," i.e. the various ways web3 and other P2P technologies can bring civics and democracy into the 21st century.
