aunt homieShort Thoughts On Building a DAO
Hope Everyone is well. I’ll be blogging about my journey in building a DAO over the next few months, so you all can learn along with me. In a sense, you guys will be traveling along with me in this Test DAO journey. Building out a “DAO” (and I use that term lightly) is a very tricky experience. In my adventures, I’ve come across some life lessons, and some learnings along the way. The goal of Test DAO is to bring contributors from outside of Web3 to a better understanding of the DAO Ecosystem...
aunt homieTest Dao Quick Tips: How to Not Fail at Gnosis-Safe
You ever wonder “sweet, I’m a multi-sig signer” life is going to be great! Right??Life is indeed great as a multi sig signer, (or a multi signatory for the cultured of us). You get to have a say in what compensation gets to be approved, and sometimes, you get airdrops! We love airdrops! You can feel that special twinkle of joy in your spirit when you’re voted in as a multi sig, or chosen, or volunteered. Of course, being a multi signatory comes with its own pains, struggles, and annoyances. I...

Hey y'all, I'm back with some more rambles.
Here’s what I've done over the week so far. By the way, it’s Gap Week over at Bankless DAO. So I decided to make good use of my time and hop over here, and babble. I'll break my babbles down to some bite-size chunks so you don’t lose interest.
In a world where money is as important, and earning a living is vital. We can sometimes run into situations where paying bills can make a difference in keeping your status in a DAO. Folks who may know me, know that I've been able to supplement my living by contributing to BanklessDAO. I've had my struggles as the price of bank has dropped, but I've grown more intrigued by what we can do as a community to help others get through the struggles of making a living, of being able to have general sustenance, and how to not lose their minds when it comes time for bills to be due.
We could potentially come up with an idea to lend to one another. There would need to be some markers for the criteria. Reaching a particular level in the DAO, having the lending contract on-chain, having some sort of marker in place should there be an issue with repayment of the loan and more. This is to try and save each other from any issues that could arise from dealing with funding.
The point behind this process deals simply with the ability to be able to keep their status in the DAO (not just Bankless DAO, because I'm sure there are other DAOs with financial barriers to entry) but to DAOs across the ecosystem.
I was speaking to another contributor one day. We wondered if there could be a badge aspect to this lending process. You would have to protect yourself should the lend-ee decide to disappear from the DAO or are just unable to repay their loan.
The idea needs to fully be fleshed out of course, as this is just my rambles on a Sunday. Let’s Continue!
I am not an expert in DAO governance. I do not have a political science degree, I dont have a degree in law. I do have a degree in philosophy!
Over the last few weeks, I've had to learn how to try and make some governance-based decisions stick in DAOs that I'm involved in. These landed like a lead balloon. I find that to be peculiar! Mostly, I noticed that some of the topics landed in such a fashion not because they were unsound ideas (which could be a viable reason) but because they were decisions that were not created by ideal contributors. I wonder why that is.
I can’t say it’s because I'm a particular demographic. I'm a Black woman, but that should be typically not front facing. (My PFP does not look like who I am) The critiques were not necessarily attacks. They have pointed ad hominem critiques that did not focus on the point of the proposal, yet on the person behind the proposal. This is my opinion.
Are these "critiques" due to a person getting in the way of your Ego "shining"? Do you focus on the issue of a proposal because it isn’t a proposal that you've created or is it because you've decided that the proposal was wrong, in any particular way?
Should we all have a moment to practice critiques? Should we all have a moment to practice thinking outside of the person at hand, and instead thinking about the topic of the writing only? Blind Proposals may be an important way to solve this conundrum.
Blind Proposals could potentially take the person out of the proposal, so you can instead vote strictly on the proposal, and not on whether you like a person or not.
I suppose with governance a whole (not just DAO governance) you will always run into competing egos, arguments that have nothing to do with the topic, and everything to do with whether you can withstand a person, and more.
I blocked a DAO contributor this week. In my opinion, I can only withstand verbal negativity, toxicity, and drama for so long. Full disclosure, I'm super dramatic. I know I'm dramatic, but I'm learning how to get out of my own way. To realize when I know I'm being dramatic, or a dummy, and I then figure out how to move forward.
What's different about me versus the person I've blocked? I had the ability to realize that other people that have been on the receiving end of my disagreements could actually be right. I could believe that even though I disagree with this particular issue, maybe there’s a reason why I could see this topic from their point of view.
I do not know if this is because of the person’s ego, or this is because of the person’s personality, but I have not been able to see eye to eye with this person. However, instead of dealing with disagreement, I instead get attacked. Showing Twitter feeds of why I blocked a person, trying to "out me" by presenting what I write in a public form in a conversation, is super weird.
But at the same time. I do feel that it’s necessary to block people who cause you to feel unsafe in your own spirit on social media. I don't see a problem with blocking a person who you do not feel safe around. But I can appreciate people who disagree with me. Disagreeing with a person is a completely different level than feeling unsafe around this person, and feeling like this person is dangerous.
I finished some rambles for the day. So, I feel pretty accomplished. Take it easy, yall.
