Community FIRST - Let's go! ~ or the sad story of ritual NB: It's not even about the dumbass airdrop @ritualnet did, it's about putting ''community first'' (wait for it) ... ''in line to get RAW dogged'' 🌭🐕 Jokes asside ... It's about EVERYTHING else that preceded the TGE, so here's the post mortem story and their mistakes: A) creating a community based on FEAR - you speak out = get DEMOTED or banned ~ i took a chance with this and put my ass on the line, risking 1 year and a half of effort when i started raising questions about scamPloPLo - i'm so glad i did it though, since it saved a lot of people precious real funds (nft mint was 0.1 ETH lol) B) encouraging tons of GLAZING - some of the mods and CM loved to build a CULT of personality around themselves - if any of you see this and you're moderating or planning to moderate some DC server in the future, for the love of God, please stop doing this shit C) blatant FAVORITISM & double standards - if you were korean, chinese or perhaps from the NAD gang you were automatically considered HIGH value and you had to put in 90% less effort D) refusing to take any feedback - almost a complete BREAK of communication for the past 10 months - promising to answer questions during VCs or AMAs but always dodging them E) promoting a scam NFT collection with the main ritual foundation and the community manager account (that's when most of the community realized we're heading towards disaster 💀) F) absolutely ZERO legit ecosystem partners or real builders that had made a dApp using ritual sdk - all the ecosystem dApps they paraded pre mainnet with were made/vibecoded by hardworking community members or by the moderators themselves H) Attempted to do an ICO but then scrapped it without saying anything - poor management of socials - EG: Coinbase announced premarket and we literally had nothing on Discord or on Ritual X regarding this ~ and the LIST can go on .... unfortunately ... a DEAD on arrival chain Also, don't think people didn't see these signs earlier. They did. But they were also afraid to throw their efforts down the drain in a year of 2026 were people got more disapointed and hungry than ever. Most of you know me for a while now - I never FUD or criticize just to farm attention nor do I like to gravedance - and this time I'm writing this because I simply DO NOT want to see this kind of shitshow be repeated in the future (although most likely it will). Learn your lessons. PEACE!
