This is an excellent discussion. It’s great to see a lot of these ideas and it looks like there is some broad alignment in a number of areas.
I agree with @lftherios that the community will be most vibrant when it is focused on the value that our current and future users can realize from our products.
Given that we have a number of disparate channels across our different groups, one idea I think is particularly important for us is aligned with your thought here, Ele:
Governance is super important but it can also be distracting for some users. We would really benefit from is a unified view of our audiences across different channels.
I started exploring with different tools that can help us with this, and the one that seems to have the most traction is Common Room. It supports a ton of different platforms. As you can see in this screenshot, we’ve already started the process of connecting them, and are poised to continue this effort. Once we have alignment on community engagement as a priority as well as the goals we’re looking to accomplish, we can proceed with this tool or identify another tool that works better.
Re: Radwork’s Twitter account, I echo @shelb_ee’s clarification to your characterization @lftherios - we’ve increased our focus on posting more frequently with community values & mission-related content (until a recent pause was requested. We’re hoping to formulate and roll out a unified social strategy to our (recently created) Radworks Farcaster account in addition to Twitter/X soon.
Re: posting content specifically targeted to traders & investors - I’d like to discuss this more, but generally air on the side of not doing this due to the risks involved, and due to the distraction that this type of content can create. I’d urge us to further define/refine more mission-critical audiences before expanding to this segment.
I’ve connected with @abbey about doing a meeting this week to discuss marketing strategy. I think the most interesting topic in this conversation might be this part of your note, @lftherios:
It would be great to have a conversation with you, @cloudhead & @abbey about this to discuss how it would work in practice - ie how we would staff, manage and fund the people doing this work?
Looking forward to discussing these topics in more detail in the coming days & weeks to figure out our next steps!
