Channel motto: Life is pain, only potato. For sharing gloomy poasting, whining, abd complaining. The more apocalyptic or petty the better. It’s always darkest before it turns pitch black.
Sometimes I’m just glad my life has not been caught up in any of the truly stupid currents of world history. So far. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c6238exzjpxo

it's permissionless. crime is realized opportunity. this sounded more like revenge, but not disregarding that this is more of a market impact.
I'm afraid that this is a systemic trend.

I worry that Farcaster is losing some of its serious builder energy — that energy is what attracted credible crypto founders and capital allocators here early on, and retained them
I hope we move past this frivolous token stage soon, and get back to serious building

Gloom perspective:
"As if those good deeds weren’t enough to earn a spot in the city’s history, Clinton also became LA’s leading campaigner against civic corruption. “Clifford Clinton is one of the most important men in the history of Los Angeles,” said local historian Richard Schave. “He was the man who broke the pre-war crime syndicate that was being run out of the office of the mayor.”
Clinton was appointed to lead a committee investigating vice in 1937, when the LA city government was riddled with sleaze. The health department tried to put him out of business with bogus sanitation violations, and corrupt officers from the LAPD even bombed his home. But Clinton was undeterred, and in 1938 engineered the successful recall of corrupt mayor Frank Shaw." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/los-angeles-clifton-s-cafeteria-reopening-recalls-an-older-communal-spirit-the-city-could-benefit-from-once-more-10509191.html

Twitter is basically turning into a kind of online brownshirts operation. Whether or not you agree with his criticisms of government spending, an unelected intimidation platform run by a billionaire running parallel political pressure racket in support of a ruling party is really, really bad for civil society. This is how the BJP-affiliated orgs wield influence in India and it’s not pretty.
At this point if you continue to use Twitter for your broadcast comms needs even for “apolitical” things, you’re aiding and abetting brown-shirtery. Spin up alt broadcast channels and get off twitter. If it’s going to be a brownshirt platform, let it be nakedly, unambiguously so, with no cover from more innocent stalking-horse uses.
