okay so... it appears having an open link is a bad idea. won't be doing that again. will figure out a better way another time and do manual invites instead.

happy weekend :)

The conscious-lifting revolution will not be televised. Simon does great work in ecosystem leadership (aka leadership practice that takes a systematic view on the context and not just the leader in isolation from their environment)

How do you check if you're actually building a culture within your community (beyond just airdrop hunters yapping un necessarily)? Any quantitative measures?  @kbc ?

Big challenge for us - it's kinda like PMF. If culture good, you just know. If culture bad , you just know. The middle part is tricky 😆

it's clear, there's a new community lead on Warpcast - see you @ted 💜

It's been a hectic day for me, and in Buenos Aires, the heat index went over 40°C I'm so tired 🫠

Ethdenver hot takes from an 1st timer + lone traveler:

1. If you’re going to do a panel, get an actual MC, not just another popular name. There is an actual skill to moderating, engaging people and controlling the audience. 

2. Room management. The reality is that people want to network so much, but it often comes to the expense of the programming. Choose a venue that allow you to separate networking noise and the panel, and again get a MC who can command the audience.

3.There needs to be more in depth, emotional engagement between panelist/ fireside chats, etc. I would have loved to see some live storytelling too.

moderating a discussion is a skill. It's not just introducing speakers and reading out questions. 

People who can tie together threads or point out inconsistencies on a live stage make a difference. 

Calling for more standup comedians to MC crypto events

That sinking feeling when point farmers flood your community during campaigns. Finding the right incentives without attracting the wrong crowd is a delicate balance we're all figuring out.

it’s been a while since I’ve posted here (and since we hosted our state of people livestream!) but I’ve been thinking about how relevant the previous streams have been for me  

shortly after the grants topic (with @xandra, arlery @octantt, @nataliecruee- i hosted an educational builders event thanks to a @base grant! and then got to cohost an IRL /farcasterfridays with @links last month whom we had as a guest during our IRL community building session with fellow hosts @chicago @dish @oxb ☺️ 

does anyone here have some anecdotes of their own?

Founders

As promised, here are takeways @ted's conversation on how to build lasting communities + the actions i want to take based on those insights:

1. "Community as a building" (analogy)

A community is like a building full of neighbors who add value to each other, build relationships, meet frequently, and share a purpose.

Your product is the building; your job is shaping the common areas.

The best community design? Getting out of the way so your users can do fun stuff together

Pure alpha here - do things that don't scale, build w users, let them take over.

Resonates so fckn much..

Do any folks have any experience using Flarum?

BM! Just grabbed my /ethdenver ticket, and I’m beyond excited to meet all the amazing @base Builders IRL next month!

If you’re heading to Denver & want to get more involved with The Builder Network, I’d love to meet you! But this time, I’d like to try something different and dedicate some focused time just for you.

Send me a DM with:
- Brief info about what you’re building
- How you’d like to collaborate with The Builder Network
- Your availability & email address

I’ll get back to you once my schedule is clear and schedule some time to chat. 
Can’t wait!

another why @statuette continues to impress!

growth

Airdrops were originally meant to identify & reward long term contributors of a community. However, in the last couple of years, communities have started leveraging it to boost vanity metrics + drive superficial contributions. 

Users on the other hand have started to game it with sybil attacks for e.g., purely with the purpose of short term gains. 

So basically airdrop became a means to drive hype without considering long term implications of the same. 

A lot needs to be thought about wrt airdrops - how long to drive pre token buzz, who to reward, who not to reward, what contributions to reward with, what should the rewards look like, do you even have PMF before doing the airdrop. 

Its essentially a challenge of intelligent incentive distribution.

it's not just dropping the coin. it's about who gets the drop for what reason and who will this impact your future.

would you consider community as part of marketing?
