> Web3 communities are more like an organised crime gang or a cult or something This is just not true at all. We discuss governance proposals in open forums, we submit requests for comments, we discuss pros and cons as community members, we sometimes debate vigorously, we sometimes are pretty unanimous. We submit code to Github or Gitlab and publish verified smart contracts to Etherscan for all to review. Some communities that are interesting that I have participated in include: ENS (Ethereum Name Service): https://discuss.ens.domains/ https://discuss.ens.domains/ Rocket Pool: https://dao.rocketpool.net/ https://dao.rocketpool.net/ Aave: https://governance.aave.com/ https://governance.aave.com/ Optimism: https://snapshot.org/#/opcollective.eth https://snapshot.org/#/opcollective.eth We Are All Going to Die (decentralized D&D): https://snapshot.org/#/wagdie.eth https://snapshot.org/#/wagdie.eth etc etc We're not vastly outnumbered by frauds. The frauds showed up during the peak bull cycle phase to get rich quick, and they make a lot of noise. But a lot of them ended up blowing themselves up on high leverage and have already met their due. I wish there was a way to keep the swindlers completely out of the space, but given its permissionless nature, it's one of those trade-offs, like living in the wild west. You're both free and vulnerable, so you have to look out for yourself. I think that given time, the scammers shake themselves out, and the cream rises to the top.
