You're reading State of the DAOs, the high-signal low-noise newsletter for understanding DAOs.
gm and welcome to State of the DAOs!
Let’s face it, the web2 social landscape is pretty miserable. Built on platforms like Facebook and Twitter, it hasn’t lived up to its promise of bringing communities together and fostering connection.
Instead of creating vibrant communities where we feel safe, secure, and a sense of belonging, on web2 social platforms we find that we are at significant risk of hacks, our personal information is compromised, and our content and data are being used to target us with paid advertising.
Rather than fostering connection in our community, web2 social platforms have made us more divided through the spread of misinformation and cyberbullying.
Why do we sign up for this?
It’s time to reimagine the social landscape and get back to the fundamental principles that create a rich social life.
The web3 social landscape is built around purpose and identity. This week, theconfusedcoin walks us through that landscape, both at the community and protocol level.
First, we take a look at the way web3 communities like FWB, Cabin DAO, and Krause House are forming around a shared purpose and working together to build something remarkable. Next, we take a look at the protocol layer, which gives individuals control over their information, content, and social graph. Between the emergence of purpose aligned communities and ownership over our reputation and identity, it is easy to see how web3 social will be much more healthy and fulfilling.
Finally, we share the TL;DR on some most recent DAO ecosystem takes and thought pieces, making it easy for you to cut through the noise and learn everything you need to know about the current state of the DAOs.
