Nouns

It's no secret that Nouns has changed. There's ofc lots of nuance to how we got here, the good and bad. At its core, it's the underlying mechanics that drive the current dynamic. The early epoch was nounder-led, then we had a more financially oriented ethos, and now we sit at a 'governance R&D hub'. It's another changing of the guard.

I don't find the current motif exciting. Many early Nouns folk feel the same, and that's ok. The game was set up to behave as it has, and I wish the current set of leaders the best.

On the other hand, Nouns is CC0. Plenty of funded projects are thriving. In many ways, the DAO is now one node among several in the network, which is exactly how CC0 was meant to play out. We can continue to experiment with the noggles, the people, and the lessons learned to build new nodes.

As for me, after four years of nonstop grind for the DAO, Prop House, and Rounds, I have to admit I am burnt out. I am still here. I have ongoing convos with many Nouns folk, I check camp regularly, I see the projects that are being developed, but for now I'm on the sidelines until new inspiration strikes to dive back in.

sums up my thoughts on the current state of nouns perfectly  

but nouns is still a movement, separate from /nouns ⌐◨-◨

noun seven three zero | onchain experimentation maxi @ zerorights.media, zeropod.xyz, @betrmint, the /yellow collective

the spirit of Nouns goes beyond any one space. Still very much a movement. ⌐◨-◨
