@earth2travis just posted a post by @ted into our /daos DM thread https://farcaster.xyz/ted/0x64d35946 In an effort to revive our channel I am putting it here for the purpose of discussion. My two cents: 1- Frames were more accessible for most /daos members as they did not necessarily require code after @neynar published their tools. 2- In our specific case we moved away from the channel into DM thread. Makes zero sense but happened. I wonder if we can reverse engineer that behavior. Any thoughts @trigs @thethriller @yonks @1a35e1 ?

The only way to have a thriving channel is to have active moderators surfacing content and promoting it. The only way to sustainably support active moderation is with some kind of incentive or reward. I think it's that simple. Only channels I see doing well are channels with active owners/moderators that have some intrinsic motivation to do so. So my suggestion on reverse engineering /DAOs is that we have to figure out what will motivate leaders to step up and take ownership. Because otherwise we fall back to "revealed behavior", which is currently the comfort zone of a DM group where you're guaranteed to get seen.

I think we moved to the DM group around the same time everyone did. Channels were dying because Dan kept saying they weren't a priority whenever ppl brought up ideas for improvement. It created a very "sinking ship" vibe. The algo doesn't do a very good job of surfacing content and channels never took off because of it. Things get buried and lost if they don't immediately hit escape velocity. The average time to takeoff is something like < 2 hours, I think I read? If it doesn't go by then, it just gets disappeared in the feed. So ppl started using DM groups because it's the only way to ensure every message gets read. So I think it actually makes perfect sense why we moved to the DM group. Everyone moved to DM groups all over Farcaster. It was the whole meta at the time. Now it's just been long enough that our attention span has forgotten and moved on. The reason why we still have a weekly call is because the DM group survived and retained enough ppl to keep it going.
