These early days of #DeFi x #NFT communities remind me a lot of the early social media management days (2009-2012)

- Extreme Growth/Adoption
- Small pool of experienced mods
- Need for transparency
- Need for visible leadership
- Enthusiastic but confused consumers

So, how can these DApps cope?

1. Know Your Goals in community and stick to them.

2. Keep it Easy and Simple for the newbies (and never stop making it easy).

3. Moderate for questions/comments/spam 24/7/365

4. Use your analytics! Yes, even @discord & @telegram
have analytics

5. Get the leadership involved in the DAILY discussion

6. Give the users a good reason to come back EVERY DAY

7. Make it EASY for users to share with their crypto and not-so-crypto pals

8. Leave no questions unanswered. Ever.

Back then, branded social media was a total sh*t storm. FB pages were wide open for comments. DeFi x NFT is not AS bad, but needs attention if the communities are to stay healthy.

Also - shout out to the mods and community organizers who keep it real in some of these wild discords

@UsmanPatel_ @ethtard @sandyme0ws @Nederob @Jihoz_Axie. And especially @CineTekDev who is by far the most active Founder in NFT discords that I've seen.
