The dead internet theory is primarily about bots, synthetic engagement, and manufactured consensus, not people expressing unpopular or offensive opinions. Fighting bots is not the same as banning almost everyone in /cryptoleft. I absolutely support efforts to combat bots and coordinated manipulation. But I'm not convinced that banning real people for their past behavior, or excluding people who don't align with NS's preferred culture, addresses the same problem. If anything, I worry that enforcing ideological or cultural conformity risks making online discourse feel less authentic, not more. The dead internet theory is concerned with *authenticity*, but the NS's actions seem primarily aimed at enforcing *conformity*, banning genuine participants over interpersonal conflicts and disagreements.

When Elon bought twitter he offered an optional buyout and then made additional cuts. I bet Farcaster does the same thing but on the user side The vote was the buyout and then the ai detection will get better and will cut bots.
I wish you had addressed the actual points I made in my first reply. I'm not interested in "I bet this'll be like Elon and Twitter." I want you to acknowledge and/or debate me about what I see as your misinterpretation of dead internet theory. Respectful debate is still allowed on this platform, right?
