Your cooperative runs democratically, but does your bank account?

No technical experience needed.

Fascinating story. I knew about Urbit’s culture, but I had no idea it was literally founded and run by Curtis Yarvin.

Great interview with the author by @tbsocialist.bsky.social

Why Urbit Failed with @haunt0l0gy

We discuss Adina's recent piece in @compactmag_ about her experience in the Urbit community moving from enthusiasm to disillusionment as the reactionary politics became more clear.

The same politics that has driven Urbit into the ground.

🚨How to not lose $2 billion

Just published about my experience having a call with a potential North Korean hacker and some of the signs that made me realize so you can see them too.

You can find the audio of the call in the post as well.

Bluesky is a site explicitly founded by cryptocurrency libertarians with the idea that it would be a decentralized platform where users would be free to choose the open-source moderation and algorithmic feed tools they wanted, and by accident acquired a power userbase that hates all of those things.

William B. Fuckley @opinionhaver.bsky.social · Oct 3

Are people mad at the Bluesky ceo for a real reason or an internet madness reason?

For nearly a decade Citarella has been tracking the trends of Gen Z and their shifting and extreme online politics that have led to extreme actions. If anyone predicted this trend, I would say its him. I published this interview back on October 30, 2022.

Rather than writing out a response or hot take to the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, I thought it would be more interesting instead to point out two pieces of content from my library that I've been thinking about a lot in light of it.

I was lucky to see an advance screening of Code is Law, featuring interviews with Griff, Christoph, Fabien and others. It's a really good snapshot of The DAO hack, the Indexed Finance and Kyberswap.

It’s feeling like we’re living in a very strange moment in time where liberal norms of openness have been shattered by the same class of tech industry titans who expressed these values just a decade ago. In this episode I spoke to Nick Houde and Severin Matusek from co-matter, a research and strategy studio based in […]
