Uh, nice point of view :O

I won’t read their paper because every kind of DAO is the same in the end so I can generalize it.

They probably use a DAO form to raise money from people giving them back a token that allows them a form of digital ownership. Basically is what an association or a cooperative can do but if they do not actually build that coop or org it just stays a useless token in front of the law. Are they conscious of it? Who knows. Is it good? Ehhh, only if the people behind it are actually iron willed and will keep the mission in front of earnings because, as I said, legally the ownership is on them and not on all the token owners.

I’d avoid it. There are a lot of ways to pay associations to plant trees or ensure wildlife while also not feeding a bullshit machine :)

You know it good, so you also know that blockchain is just a technology. Don’t strawman me pls, I never said to use the existing chains based on cryptonomics :)

Btw NGOs presence is not a good enough marker because usually every chain already got a foundation

Like day-to-day things that make a persons life easier, not harder?

Yes, but without them knowing. Stellar is good to exchange currencies, Circles was good as a basic income and stuff like Handshake.org could decentralize domain name systems, Holochain for a decentralized cloud, something like Filecoin to incentivize piracy... Special mention for Monero even tho it’s a dangerous weapon that allows both good actor and bad actors to be invisible.

I’ve been a bit in the bubble and I can say that most of the stuff, even when led by good principles, it just becomes a form of capitalism because cryptonomics is just capitalism with less technical steps. Stuff like DAOs could be good if the government could acknowledge them but the government could just fucking ease a way to share properties and associations skipping entirely the DAO step lol.

I could write more but sorry I don’t feel like it because here the sentiment is clear.

I’d just ask people to not assume that blockchain = proof of work or blockchain = cryptonomics. A blockchain is just one way to share a database, it can be useful. Could be useful also for fediverse actually, as an identity provider to allow people move instances without losing account but without also referring to a central authority without the need of any cryptocapitalism (basically dns, the use case I already listed with handshake.org).

You either need a central authority or a blockchain

I’m all for the practical side when the aiming result is also practical, like a training for organizing people or guerrilla gardening or how to influence urbanism and so on

But if the content is basically what “our climate change” and “not just bikes” offer on YouTube + a sprinkle of solarpunk I feel like it’s neither practical nor principled :)

Google forms, eventbrite, shop full of “”collectibles”(aka garbage), prices for tickets to pay every part of the event instead of crowdsourcing everything except for the server, not so little price for the tickets, domain squatting for “solarpunk”, presence only on mainstream social medial (Twitter included!!!), very little praxis… At least they do publish some talks on YouTube, even tho it’s stuff that some channel already explain.

I don’t like to be a killjoy because it’s not solarpunk to watch and point mistakes of people who try but this really feels like more trying to earn something out of solarpunk rather than trying to change something out there

I hope I’m wrong :/

You don’t have to change your system, you must change your surroundings :)

If the system will come along, better. If not, you still kinda improved the life for those around you

Lol

hard to reproduce but lovely!

Same. If “not voting” means focusing on grassroots change, why make an online community in a low density platform? Also I don’t really see why an entire sub should be devoted to that: isn’t it a position explainable in just one post?

also, solarpunk is about participation and, as you also underlined, construction of the new more than destruction of the dead in a dead-end. That is also why I don’t like “anticars” even tho I’m very much fuck cars, there is !urbanism for that

Edit: so many “also”, I shouldn’t write while I’m starting to get sleepy lol

I’m a game dev and I think this case is more ambiguous

if you want job security, unionize your workplace

Agree :)

Panic without hope does nothing but accelerating issues

it's not that weird from my perspective. the post was kinda a rant so it baited people that are not really ready to discuss but just felt like having to point out their perspective in a defensive way

break the chain my friends, we can do better

just answer ''thank you for the disgust sentiment, really needed that from a friend, cya''

if they say ''no'' but they lying, just treat it as a real no because people not able to be open about this are not ready for a healthy relationship

to me it's just clear that the guy in the screenshot plain ignored the answer lol

unless you were planning to delete the thing, which doesn't make much sense

Why not? You keep every film every episode every-thing you consume?

But their business model is solely based on not disclosing your info. If they do, most of all for just some silly comments on an Internet forum, be sure they are going to fail.

This is a false dichotomy. Also, in the case you haven’t noticed, this sub is part of a solarpunk server. We want solarpunk :)
