There’s a lot of criticism on Merkle right now for channel transfers. I wanted to provide another perspective as a community builder.
When building community, especially early, you need to focus on attracting and retaining people who ACT - provide content, engage, etc. You also need to make these people feel good so they stick around.
When negative people arrive and start taking up space, they can crowd out good actors with their demands, vibes, and derailing.
As a community builder, you must prioritize your good actors over the bad, EVEN AT THE EXPENSE OF PERCEIVED FAIRNESS. If you don’t, you risk bad actors driving the good ones away, and ending up with nothing.
It’s actually a shitty job - no matter what you do people will complain. Good community builders must have the courage to be disliked. 1 reply
