Posting this absolute banger by @nekofar.eth on the the DUNA candidate prop feedback:

> The Nouns Foundation is like some shady secret society now, completely cut off from the community it’s meant to serve. They’re pulling strings behind a curtain, making decisions without even bothering to clue the community in. It’s got that "we know better" vibe, where instead of actually engaging with the community, they’re doing things in backrooms, leaving the community to guess what’s going on. They’re even hijacking community resources and employees, making decisions off-chain without any transparency. No surprise people are getting frustrated. When communication’s a one-way street, you end up with an echo chamber, not a community.

> The worst part? No accountability. If the Foundation screws up, like they have before, who’s holding them responsible? No one. There’s no transparent system for the community to step in. They’re running in their own little bubble, and the more they shut us out, the worse this is going to get. All they’re building is distrust and disengagement.

> If they want to fix this mess, they need full reform. We need a new group that actually includes the community in a meaningful way, not just lip service. This new group has to be built on transparency, with real discussions and decisions that reflect the broader community’s input. No more hiding behind closed doors, hijacking resources, or making moves without consulting people. This group needs to bring back the trustless principles we’re supposed to stand for, with real accountability and an open governance framework. If they don’t start listening to the people who care about this project, it’s just going to spiral further into chaos. Time for a real change.

> I’d encourage everyone to join the Nouncil Discord, which is where most of the discussions are happening these days. Unfortunately, it’s not as public as it should be, but that’s what we’ve got for now.

> And the irony? A project supposedly built on decentralization is leaning on trust-based mechanisms and exclusive group chats. What happened to trustless systems? These secretive deals, backroom setups, and off-chain moves totally undermine what Nouns should be: a transparent, onchain community. Instead of uniting people, the Foundation’s tactics are driving wedges between us. We’ve got forks, rage quits flying around like it’s some kind of game, and all because they won’t just have open, honest conversations.
