there are 100 days until 2025 and new crypto projects are still using Discord to build and manage their community

"go where your users are" - if those projects want to attract users from last cycle, then discord is their place

discord is a centralized app that can ban users and entire discords

but sure lol

Especially after the whole base debacle you’d figure ppl would wake up to this shit but in the words of Rick James, Cocaine is one of hell of a drug 😂

kinda wild that when they do get banned, theyd rather get mad at base instead of mad at discord 🤡🤡🤡

i wish crypto projects would care about decentralization too

Yeah, but therein lies the problem because there’s a huge trade-off between giving up the capacity for that sort of control in your channel and ensuring that the users aren’t being exploited fund-wise. 

I.e. I’ve banned Lord knows how many accounts and personally basically run forensic work to try and identify bad actors who are socially engineering clients via quite a few different tactics and they make it super believable for some unfortunately…
