today there was supposed to be a post about how people fake proof of work in projects

I wanted to talk about how to tell if someone actually drew something themselves or not

but I will not

because something unusual happened in @re last night

I will not bore you with the details

you can read everything in the original post

disappointment of course

but there is nothing we can do about it

personally I want to thank the amazing people who worked with the community:

@miketwinks
@ChazEevee
@st3phdoteth
@stepaks576
@Volkov8888
@lumincrypto

thanks for the vibe

looking forward to meeting you in other projects

honestly, i don’t even know where to start.

at first i thought this post should begin with an apology. but when my emotions settled, i realized i have nothing to apologize for. so i’ll just tell it like it is

what happened?

@re team just announced, without any warning or prior context, that they’re shutting down the roles system and dc in the form it existed up until today. the new idea is to turn it into an investor-focused space :)

i’m not here to judge them. maybe they know better. maybe it’s not my place anymore, and honestly that part doesn’t matter.

what i want to talk about is something else

i joined re six months ago. back then, if i’m being honest, there were maybe 30 active people on the server. i was invited by my close friend and basically my only one at the time, @stepaks576. that’s where the story began.

for six straight months, i did everything i possibly could to build a truly real community. spoiler: it was insanely hard. but we did it.

you don’t have to believe me, but i gave re my soul. my heart. my time. my ideas. my love. i was building for 10 hours a day. every day. every month.

and it was incredible.

yes, there were mistakes. yes, there were experiments. lots of trying new things. a lot of learning. but the result was insane. what we built together in half a year is massive progress. i received hundreds of messages saying people found a second home in re. that re had a soul. not to mention the visibility and growth this gave the project.

i’m proud of that. i truly believe we did it right

most of the ideas were either mine or built and shipped with my direct involvement. i did it genuinely, from the heart. i spent literally all my time on this community. you only do that when you truly love what you’re building.

we tried to make @re the best. something unique. we valued real people. we fought ai slop with everything we had. we did collabs. we supported our members in a way you rarely see anywhere else. but sometimes things happen that are out of your control.

this was my first experience in a role like this. and it was the best experience of my life. full of hope and creative freedom.

and honestly, i believe i did everything i could. probably even more.

but.

in the eyes of the team, i’m just "another community member" like everyone else. part of the crew. part of a ship they decided to sink.

maybe that’s why my pirate persona fits so well. i won’t run away from the ship. i’ll do everything i can so that my crew - and for me, my crew is you, the community - knows the truth and makes it out. if i go down alone, so be it. at least i’ll know i did everything i could.

this decision wasn’t mine. it was the team’s. and trust me, there was no ceremony around it. i wasn’t even told personally. today was a regular friday. tasks, plans, future ideas. work was in full motion :)

now none of it matters.

i know most people won’t read this far. but if you’re still here, i want to say this.

thank you. sincerely. to every real person who stood with me this whole time. you’re one of the strongest communities i’ve ever seen - and we barely had time.

thank you to the helpers. the best people i’ve ever worked with.
thank you to those who hosted events.
thank you to those who created insane content and brought creativity.
thank you to those who carried the vibe.
thank you to those who were real.

thank you, @ChazEevee you’re the best thing that happened to me in web3. i’m sure our friendship will last for years. you’re the best partner and leader i’ve ever worked with, period. kindness, freedom, professionalism, wisdom, creativity - that’s you. you’re the best thing i got from re.

thank you, @st3phdoteth you were always involved, always open to ideas, never afraid to try, and most importantly - you listened. truly listened.

thank you for giving me the chance to be who i dreamed of being. to create. to lead. to see my ideas resonate. thank you for the trust.

once again - i genuinely fell in love with our warm, cozy community. there was zero personal gain for me in this. only a big idea and a dream to build something bigger. what’s happening now is just as unexpected for me as it is for you, and it had absolutely nothing to do with me.

you probably can’t fully understand how i feel right now. it feels like a piece of me was torn away, and there will always be a scar there.

what’s next? i don’t know.

but as one wise man once said:

here it is. it turned out to be a pretty good story: interesting, fun, sometimes a little sad, and most importantly - instructive. it taught us to be brave and not to fear the challenges that life prepares for us. but most importantly, this story could have had a happy ending. Vika agreed to stay in Moscow, and i became a head chef; we would have worked together again

one door closed

another one opened

I am kinda shocked by how cliche this sounds

but it is true

[LIPA @web3gnome]

my humble result in @SentientAGI

* I did not manage to take a nice screenshot

and you cannot view the result card anymore once you claim

[LIPA @web3gnome]

@Yura__eth my bro!!!!

[LIPA @web3gnome]

[LIPA @web3gnome]

who am I to walk past this flash mob

thanks to the guys for it

I would only change one point about events

because if you already missed one, you can never fully complete the card

everything else can be caught up

for example, whine to @ChazEevee or @reintern

ez +2 points

or you will get blocked by two more people ^^

[Goodwaitik ./ @goodwaitik]

Me and my dear friend @0xbliink put together a @Re Bingo challenge!

Fill it out, quote the post and share your result

Some squares are easy, others are only for those who are really deep in Re

Let's see how (re)al you are

[LIPA @web3gnome]

@miketwinks they finally released a separate toilet cleaner

[LIPA @web3gnome]

@Chateau_capital on days like this I think

"well okay, I tried, I will rest" 😅

[LIPA @web3gnome]

looks like today is a rest day

[LIPA @web3gnome]

@a1exyoyo look who it is!!!!

[LIPA @web3gnome]

[LIPA @web3gnome]

@mussed1703 @reintern @re @ChazEevee @st3phdoteth @m4lkxx @wtf4uk @karnsaroya @benaneesh @natalieevagray awesome work

[LIPA @web3gnome]

@pronaks56 @re @ChazEevee @miketwinks oh god, I really need to remember to take part

another post about Discord roles in @re

but this time about the good ones

(re)al MEGA Legend

what do you need?

collect 10 or more legend roles

at first I got scared

because I thought it would definitely include the Karaoke role

and I DO NOT SING

I could even make a separate post about that

but after doing proper research, I found out there are so many legend roles that you can choose what you are actually good at

rn I have one of those roles: Poker Legend

and there is plenty of room to grow

there are tons of options, just to name a few:

LolBeans Legend
SmashKarts Legend
Tetr.ioLegend
Haxball Legend

and many many more

I think later it would be cool to make a separate infographic or chart for each of these roles

like a little cheat sheet

I'm someone who loves collecting and gathering things

so these constructor style roles are totally my thing

[LIPA @web3gnome]

let us talk a bit about Discord roles

using @re as an example

some people think getting a Discord role is the final goal

but that is not true

getting it is one thing

keeping it is a completely different story

yes, you can sprint and live the project 24/7

but then you can crash right at the finish line and stop moving

you do not need to rush full speed and drain yourself

otherwise you will burn out

and I know what I am talking about

burnout means your activity drops, and that puts your role at risk

looking at the recent @re announcement

what do we see

new roles

made exactly for those who fell and burned out

yes, there is a chance to come back

but it will be just as long and just as hard of a path

and my opinion (only my opinion!): those who get these roles have a 95 percent chance they will not make it back

because they will lack motivation and energy

so do not treat roles like a sprint

just move together with the project organically

steady, smooth, and consistent

and then those new Retired roles will not be a threat to you

@fradermon thank you bro &lt;3
