Pepenuumuu β Card #0001 (1/1) π
Before Rome, before empires, and before civilizations... there was a beginning!
Circa 3.6 million years, Kadanuumuu held the torch of knowledge. Character 1 of 300 in my Ancient Pepe's digital card series. π₯πΈ
What should his card stats be? π
Update π―
As I have pushed a brand that I now disagree with, disclosure:
I no longer support the Pepe Community.
@PepeToken_0xBE πΈ
I am stepping away to focus on other projects that align with my current creative vision. I've reallocated my holdings & wish everyone the best.
I've stayed quiet for a long time, but silence only enables this behaviour.
@xxDTECHxx, who runs @xPEPECOMMUNITYx and @PepeToken_0xBE, has been telling people in his community to avoid me, yet has never provided any justification or evidence as to why. He used to say similar things to me about former members. More recently, others have told me they were warned to avoid me without explanation. I don't know how widespread this is, but it raises questions.
Yesterday, I tried to raise these concerns within the Telegram community in the hope of resolving them directly. Instead of receiving answers, I was banned.
If you have an issue with someone, be honest and transparent about it. Don't spread narratives behind closed doors without telling people why.
People can disagree. That's normal. What's not normal is encouraging others to avoid someone while staying silent about the reasons behind it.
And let's talk about the "Gud Vibes Only" ethos that's constantly promoted. How does discouraging members from engaging with certain people behind closed doors, ostracising those you disagree with, and encouraging others to avoid them align with that message?
Gud vibes shouldn't stop at branding. They should extend to how people are treated when they disagree with you.
Communities should be built on honesty and accountability, not whispers, exclusion, and character attacks. The truth doesn't fear transparency.
If I've done something wrong, show the evidence publicly and let people judge for themselves. Otherwise, stop spreading narratives about people who have tried to help you and your community.
Be the leader your community believes you to be. Listen to your members, embrace constructive ideas, and lead by transparency, accountability, and example. Communities thrive when people are encouraged to contribute, challenge ideas respectfully, and disagree without fear of exclusion.
Show the evidence, or stop making accusations.
