Increasing user participation in the governance forum

1

User activity on the forum appears to be quite low. Does anyone else feel there should be some concerted effort to increase it?

While I’m sure delegates, council members, and others who are involved directly with Optimism are doing their part, there doesn’t appear to be much engagement from regular OP holders. I’m hoping that would change in the future as the market condition improves. But I also feel it would be good idea for the foundation to encourage it as well. May be createa a section like Social chat where users can chat about non-optimism subjects like movies, sports, or any other topic (except politics).

Back in 2010s, most forums used to have such a section, it allowed community building and gave something for users to do during days when is little activity in the main forum. Of course, this was before Reddit became popular.

With DAOs, governance forums are once again becoming the center of attention, so may be we can consider including some of those practices to improve user activity and retention.

Looking around seems to be a common issue,and while air drops and locks get ,clicks,as soon as most of the tokens from the locks are dropped so are the sites,retention is the key word,and from the user side,it’s still a pain to swap platforms or chains without having logs or id clarification,it’s great for security,but why does email work so flawlessly to anyone n e where…but alll these wallets and bridges for the same basic process,it can’t all be just money…Blockchain is such a huge tool that can benefit ALL,if we All work towards that goal…BESAFE
