   Umm—uhh—hmmm. Over at Farcaster, because of the Frames feature, communities are starting to make formal decisions inside social media posts: https://warpcast.com/ntnsndr/0x07cb229a

     @adamgreenfield like so much of my explorations in crypto-land, a mix of excitement that folks are pushing the possibilities of digital self-governance and terror about how the embrace of financialization and attention economies will make me regret that excitement.

     @ntnsndr Apart from my critiques of crypto in general, this example highlights a major problem for anyone interested in doing democracy on a public, permissionless blockchain: there's no good way to verify identities to prevent sock-puppeting, as this commenter points out. If you're only interested in 1 token = 1 vote (tokenocracy) then you don't need to care about how many wallets one person is voting with, but if you're a 1 person = 1 vote type then this is a big problem, seems to me.

     @GuerillaOntologist Mostly, yes, identity is harder to take for granted when you can't rely on government identity systems or personal relationships. Though there are "sybil resistance" tools that can enable various forms of identity verification for on-chain purposes: https://passport.xyz/
