long ass tweet to say mega AMAs are fucking back for a while, i've been wondering which one's harder to manage: genuine believers or performative community? performative community was a challenge in the early days wen we were learning to deal with masters of convincing the emperor that there were clothes they knew how to be the "ideal members", with years of practice on discord in differentiating their chats, fake positivity, memes, artwork, tweets and other "contributions" truthfully, at times they made me feel good about the "support" we had, but i had to unlearn that instinct these days, i am fortunate to be surrounded by at least a few genuine believers who care at a time wen sentiment isn't too favourable: - @juliencoppola: a voice for fellow builders AND users - @CrypLykos: helpful, fun and omnipresent - @MedoCons: will not hesitate to point out the elephant in the room - @_WABERSKY: i want to add this dude to every mafia beta testing group, insanely engaged with the eco even if he loses money at times (what went wrong with *redacted*) - @hyeon__dev : big brain, champion of spreading our word - @markbbc from The People tg chat: outspoken in his criticism, KPI-maxi, big advocate for mafia app launches esp @blackhaven (obv this list is missing lots of you.) the hard part with both genuine and performative community is: honesty with performative folks, we had to be honest about their expectations of a transactional relationship with genuine believers, we have to be honest about our mistakes that being said, it's a great problem to have mega is quite happy to be honest. uncomfortable silence is not our forte see you on Friday with a new playlist of satanic heavy metal
