Nouns

One Noun, every day, forever.

Non-trivial benefit of fork: conflict breeds engagement. Nouns survival is based on engagement.

Governance Public Utilities for @zksync at @thezknation

we had a lot of draining conflicts pre-fork, now the ”conflicts” feel energy+ and intellectually honest

As an outsider the fork seemed to get a lot more public traction, maybe because it was meme-able? Simple, controversial, almost unexpected?

yeah I agree with krel here. the explosion of season 3 energy here is coming from post-fork increase of alignment and excitement from that (possibilities opening up) rather than the specific fork conflict having bread new  energy

I’m curious, have you seen an increase in builder interest since the fork? If so, why do you think that’s the case? If not, do you think there’s something missing to attract more people to create props?

Ofc many factors at play but atleast partially this is _pent up_ builder interest.

For the last 3-6 months pre-fork, the dao was as if frozen in time. Many waited for the situation to improve before submitting their prop or launching a project.

Still tons of stuff tbd to improve the funnel tho.

On last question haha (because I’m thinking this might be a really important issue, to increase high quality proposal volume)

Why do you think it was pent-up? Were too many proposals getting ignored or rejected? I mean, the tech-stack for nouns has “worked” quite well imho for a while

might be hard to fully grasp if you wernt dealing with it on a daily basis but the entire MO of arbers (and conservatives tbh) was to sloooow things down

this created a tough environment for ideas and props to thrive

(Youre right, increasing quality prop volume is _the_ most important issue)

i think many of us have it pretty well formed in our heads but its awkward to label people in public

outside of historical documentation purposes i dont think there is a lot of value to the daos day-to-day

also, the factions changed drastically post-fork, so what was important context 2 months ago might not be now

Has anyone done a write up of arber strategy and current or historical politics of nouns? Seems like there’s a few parties involved:

* Experimentalists
* Nounders
* Conservatives
* Forkers
* Arbers

And there seems to be party lines in voting, as far as I’m seeing anyways, as well as priorities for spend.
