Awwww yeah. About to jump into spicy town. It’s Thursday and that means a community call. Long gone are the days I felt comfortable joining a community for real for real just based on founders vibes. Most founders are lead by their vision and not by their community. It was a hard and expensive lesson to learn; but the wisdom is mine now. Founders are fallible. Community calls are a better temp check than some list of achievements. Listen to how they talk to each other. How good natured are they when arguing with each other? Is arguing encouraged? Or do dissenters get shut down? These things all take time to discover. The money that you spend on a PFP you can always get back but the time that you invest in a community that you later discover is not aligned in a way that is meaningful to you. It’s a kind of investment you don’t want to find yourself upside down in. Definitely: Worthwhile to lock in and prospect for a while before contributing deeply/regularly to a community in a meaningful way.
