ah yeah, i am not sure it is even pretend decentralization tbh. as you say pretty and a bit eerie
was at a bar on the river there and night falls, then there is lighting on the skyscrapers...coordinated. Think Times Square except every visual sign is permission based and in lock step with each other. Beautiful yet eery.
"6529 Executive Coaching As A Service Whether You Want It Or Not"
maybe it is semantics but I disagree that you cannot discuss what you want to discuss. you can discuss it here and ignore the people that you disagree with (like I have done every day on twitter and Discord since I started 6529) or you can make a wave of like-minded people or DM/s and discuss in total peace and report back your findings to the group wave once you have had a chance to think about in peace without our annoying co-citizens bothering you.
you can of course also express your frustration but when you do it in a group wave you risk me showing up to share helpful solutions like the above to be less frustrated :)

can I not take issue with how someone engages with me and express frustration at what I’m perceiving without it being labeled as I’m bitching about being oppressed?
so I had a long chat with @[6529er] earlier in the week about this and if we should make a very brain/SZN11 appropriate SZN opener which we are obviously capable of doing. and that might be more "on theme" it is true. but we decided that the meta-optics of that in SZN11 would negate the benefit. OK, here is the community SZN and the first card, we come in heavy with a 6529er card which is almost certainly going to be selected.
We will contribute during this SZN, but not the opening week.
I honestly had similar dreams about the SZN11 first card as @[hexum]. But these are the dreams of individuals and they have little to do with the reality of decentralized curation, where artists submit and the group as a whole decides. But I think both Hexum and I are at peace with that, it's just Hexum describing his (and my) ideas of a theoretically perfect kicker card. Individual dreams don't come true, they are irrelevant from a mission perspective, and we have other awesome cards from awesome artists. I think they all mean well, and it's a bit too much emotion here. Let's just enjoy it all, it's amazing. :sunshine:
if you don't want to be interrupted, you can DM mintface
you can have whatever views you have, you are just not being oppressed, come on
i welcome views that contribute
people obviously interrupt
but i dunno this is a group chat
what you really mean is: "i want to have a public discussion with mintface in the main stage wave and I do not want anyone interrupting that discussion with their views"
my point is "I wasn't able to" is I dunno, not a thing on this platform
Speculate abour what we like brainstorm about what we might like? how are these not semantics. I just wanted to have a discussion and I feel like I wasn’t able to and I expressed frustration .
obviously if you and @[MintFace] want to have a fully uninterrupted discussion, you can DM, make another wave, etc, etc
what is possibly the big deal
other people may jump in
but you are in a group chat
of course you can speculate all you want
"we are not even allowed to speculate'
"well I am feeling as though we are not allowed to even speculate about what we might like without having to hear about it. all hail decentralization"
I am old enough to remember 3 minutes ago when you posted this
Hexum just wanted to have a discussion with mintface, brainstorming about what was most relevant. I don’t know the answers, I wanted to talk about it. RD and arsonic told me why I was wrong, I responded, you told me I am overthinking it and what the answer was and now idk what we are doing. but the idea that hexum is throwing a fit bc maybe the card he wants doesn’t win or something ain’t even close
what does this even mean
ngl visiting Shanghai for the first time shows the benefit of pretend decentralisation
"hexum thinks the opening card should be something different on a more focused theme" is not a failure of decentralization. it is Hexum's opinion which is valued, just like everyone else's opinion is valued
i am thrilled
what possibly could be improved?
the tech works, we have good cards, the pre-voting is reasonable, everyone is having a good time
this is 100x smoother than my best case imagining of what the first card would be
what is messy about it?
decentralization is messy is all I’m trying to say
when people on the internet have wrong opinions, you can just ignore them and carry on
ser, I logged into this wave and half my feed are posts by you. I don't think you are being oppressed by Big Decentralization
well I am feeling as though we are not allowed to even speculate about what we might like without having to hear about it. all hail decentralization
REMINDER: YOUR VOTE STARTS COUNTING IN 20 HOURS FROM NOW
100% it is on the to-do list! For this first one, I will just make ongoing reminders
might be useful to have this countdown express somehow that even though there is 1 day 20 hrs left you really should finalize your votes in next 20 hours
Mintface censoring Arsonic from putting his uncensorable card on The Memes I see. :elon:
Uncensorable would be your own sovereign contract
nobody is going to remember any of this particular sub sub sub discussion in 48 hours
personally, I think it is all OK and nobody should worry about it
I often disagree with myself-of-2-hours-ago about which card I think we should mint
it is 100% certain that lots of people in this wave are going to disagree about a lot of things including which cards we should mint when
and you can choose to engage in it or not
if you and @[arsonic] do not agree about the substance or the process of your discussion, well, that is fine, you can not agree about the substance or the process of your discussion
ok that it is fine, but obviously none of this is any of my business
for me personally I am not going to keep trying to have a discussion I want when people are going to lecture me about decentralization theme as a result
I am certainly not going to start telling people what they want to talk about
well, anyone can have any discussion they want right? you can discuss the thing you want to discuss and other people can discuss the 10 other things they want to discuss too?
You’re right and I appreciate the voice of reason. At the same time i would appreciate if we could have a discussion about what themes we think are most relevant for szn 11 without it getting turned into 10 other discussions
unironically yes. when someone mints a CC0 card on an Ethereum token it is in fact both legally and technically uncensorable
you are right... uncensorable once its passed the TDH censor
in any SZN
as a concept fwiw
I think uncensorable is fully within the spirit of what we are doing
Uncensorable fit the broader philosophy of the memes and the patch is a wink at szn 11 yeah
is less important I think
whether we explicitly say that in the cards
as a group
is that we picked the cards ourselves
the single most important theme
this SZN itself has a "the medium is the message" vibe to it regardless
that is a good (and hard) goal in and of itself
