/4 I visualized the distribution of toxicity and bridging scores as histograms.

/3 Regarding definitions, toxicity refers to "a rude, disrespectful, or unreasonable comment that is likely to make you leave a discussion," while bridging refers to "a comment correlated with more constructive conversations."

/2 I collected @radicle governance forum posts via @boardroom_info Governance API I used Google's Perspective API to classify posts for toxicity and bridging attributes. airtable.com/appceNpLUbMIW6W…

🌟 Big news! We’ve just submitted a proposal to @gitcoin & @metagov_project for our DAO Index initiative as part of the Distributed Governance Score Framework (DGSF). 🔍 Our mission? To answer a crucial question: How can we develop a standard and measurement tool to rate and benchmark DAO design features and governance processes, considering the unique themes and sociotechnical imaginaries associated with DAOs? 💡 Explore our innovative approach to revolutionizing DAO governance and see how AI integration could make a difference. 👀 Check out our proposal and lend your support here: explorer.gitcoin.co/#/round/… #DAO #DecentralizedGovernance #gitcoin #metagov

File over app File over app is a philosophy: if you want to create digital artifacts that last, they must be files you can control, in formats that are easy to retrieve and read. Use tools that give you this freedom. File over app is an appeal to tool makers: accept that all software is ephemeral, and give people ownership over their data. In the fullness of time, the files you create are more important than the tools you use to create them. Apps are ephemeral, but your files have a chance to last. The pyramids of Egypt contain hieroglyphs that were chiseled in stone thousands of years ago. The ideas hieroglyphs convey are more important than the type of chisel that was used to carve them. The world is filled with ideas from generations past, transmitted through many mediums, from clay tablets to manuscripts, paintings, sculptures, and tapestries. These artifacts are objects that you can touch, hold, own, store, preserve, and look at. To read something written on paper all you need is eyeballs. Today, we are creating innumerable digital artifacts, but most of these artifacts are out of our control. They are stored on servers, in databases, gated behind an internet connection, and login to a cloud service. Even the files on your hard drive use proprietary formats that make them incompatible with older systems. Paraphrasing something I wrote recently: > If you want your writing to still be readable on a computer from the 2060s or 2160s, it’s important that your notes can be read on a computer from the 1960s. You should want the files you create to be durable, not only for posterity, but also for your future self. You never know when you might want to go back to something you created years or decades ago. Don’t lock your data into a format you can’t retrieve. These days I write using an app I help make called Obsidian (@obsdmd), but it’s a delusion to think it will last forever. The app will eventually become obsolete. It’s the plain text files I create that are designed to last. Who knows if anyone will want to read them besides me, but future me is enough of an audience to make it worthwhile.

Update on our brief re: CFTC/Ooki DAO action. Federal judge accepted our amicus brief ordered CFTC to respond to our motion to reconsider the judge's ruling that the CFTC's service was valid. TL;DR, good news. Next response deadline for CFTC: Nov 7 👀

Last night, we filed a motion to submit an amicus brief in CFTC vs Ooki DAO that discusses our concerns with the CFTC's action generally and requests the court reconsider its order granting the CFTC's alternative service. drive.google.com/file/d/19YE…
