Need to find a @matthewb for every niche.

posts like this are more meaningful than you might realize, esp. after not being fully appreciated in previous communities I’ve been involved with.

the vibes on purple app are an order of magnitude better than most. something is happening here.

Agree about the purple app vibes! Nowhere else like it. Love the cultural norms of kindness, earnestness, and curiosity here. 

Sorry to hear your talents weren't appreciated elsewhere. (Unfortunately I've heard a number of similar stories from others in crypto -- particularly former DAO contributors). 

I've edited a lot of professional-level writing, and I think your work stands out for many reasons. If it's not appreciated elsewhere, that's on them, not you.

Working in DAOs has been a mixed bag for me, too. But even outside of crypto it seems challenging to find healthy work environments, though perhaps for different reasons.

In any case, I'm glad to hear you've got more writing in the pipeline, and I look forward to reading more!

it’s a special place indeed

I’ve written quite a few casts (and tweets) about working in DAOs and definitely had a very mixed bag of experiences. not all bad, though, just not healthy work environments for normal, well-adjusted people.

and thank you for the kind words, it means a lot (as always). I haven’t really put my writing out there yet, the research stuff like Clanker is more analysis than anything.

my cast threads have been a little taste of my creative writing, which I will aim to publish sooner than later. will send you a draft sometime!
