Capitalism was a Coordination mechanism for Colonizers.

Farcaster built on Ethereum, and other blockchain-based social media networks use the blockchain for the wrong purpose; the blockchain was designed to solve the "double-spend" problem. It's important to not double spend money and votes, but beyond financial, governance, and token-based access control systems, the blockchain is simply overkill. Social media does not suffer from the "double-spend" problem - if anything, the concept of "going viral" is literally the opposite of preventing a double spend. Social media posts are not scarce and should be "spent" as much as user engagement permits. All that matters is that we can verify the owner/creator of the post, so they receive credit for their contribution (unless they want to remain anon). For this reason, Nostr applications will outgrow Farcaster and other purely blockchain-based social media apps!

Gen Z voted in a revolutionary new government using a Discord poll... We could do so much better with Discord-similar tooling built on Nostr and integrated with ZK voting and roles-management systems on EVM or Aztec networks. NFT token gating for sybil resistance in voting applications that use ZK proofs to protect the preferences of voters. Decentralized, immutable, private governance integrating the social aspects of Nostr and the governance capabilities of blockchains @JeffG
