 There's a reason why paper ballots are considered safer than electronic elections: they can be audited, counted by people without extremely specialized skills. You can train someone to count votes in a few days instead of a few years of intense P2P cybersecurity courses, software and hardware expertise. What Blockchain and DAOs offer you is offloading the responsibility for your processes to a third party, making you forget that you're giving them enough power to become absolute rulers. 2 comments
If I could ask the #solarpunk community for one thing regarding the web3, blockchains and DAOs, it will be: Do not treat them like a technology you just dont understand. Treat them like a way of thinking which dismisses your and your organization's needs and gives you a sleek solution, asking not to ask too many questions. Because that's what web3 is: the culture of techno-solutionism, of abandoning hard questions about humanity and community organization. The exact anti-thesis of Solarpunk. |

And for every. single. argument. for Blockchains, DAOs, Web3, there is another open source tool that does the same thing, but better, less energy-intensely, with more fine-tuning for your own needs.
You can dive into IPFS, DAT, Scuttlebutt, Git and GitTorrent, dozens and dozens protocols which can solve your problems.
But none of them come in a sleek, well-marketed package of "solving all of your problems" only a scammer can offer you.
