Published a gov post a couple days ago looking for community members to do assessments of grant program proposals as we assemble a pluralistic grants program. Decentralization is nifty. Check it out: https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/thank-arb-program-update-assessors-needed/24511
New puppy who dis?
I'm not actually a millennial but this kinda checks out. 👀🔥

Relatable. Good luck out there y'all.

Tired of the algorithm slavery so let's try #lens
I just voted for some awesome people to be on this council like @lens/azeem. Please take a minute to go add your support. To be eligible you need to have held 50 GTC in your wallet before the vote began. Come play Gitcoin GG20 Community Council on @jokerace_io with me! Its fun! https://jokerace.io/contest/optimism/0xcf5f77bfee55388395a1c977e8fd2afb5325e842
Hey y'all how is @gitcoin.lens #gg18 treating you so far? Would love to hear how @lensprotocol is being used by folks this round!
Such an amazing testimonial from our friend Harsh from @push_.lens 🫂
OMG @azeem.lens this was epic "We eat VCd alive" 🔥🔥🔥🔥 https://buttrfly.app/post/0x018c64-0x08-DA-3ea4c7d1
Did you know applications are now open for the next @gitcoin.lens grants round?!? Over 1 million dollars in matching funds. Go check out Grants.Gitcoin.co to get involved. Got any questions? Drop them here. I think @lensprotocol is gonna be huge for this round. #GG18

this sums things up nicely https://buttrfly.app/post/0x016264-0x07b8
Im happy to say i managed to get my @lensprotocol account working on @buttrfly.lens with help from the Ledger app. On second thought using a wallet address secured by a hardware wallet to access my socials may have been overkill.
This looks cool. Thanks for the suggestion @lucianodeangelo.lens . 🔥🖖🏼🤝🏼🦄🦋🔥 Who else signed up for the Yup Mobile Waitlist!? https://mobile.yup.io #lens #web3 via @Yup_io

I'm loving that share to Lenster is now a thing inside of @snapshotdao.lens I just voted "Yes – Approve budget" on "FWB Q1 2023 Operating Budget" https://snapshot.org/#/friendswithbenefits.eth/proposal/0xde7fb8fe657bf986b0d9377b8c8373e3166e8742b5bcbbb7dae31dd82182cd48 #snapshotlabs

Random @lenster.lens support question... if you send your lenster profile NFT and follower NFTs to another wallet can you just long in with that wallet and carry on or will that break something?

I have been writing a book for years at this point... I now have a @lensxyz.lens account to start rolling it out. Keep an eye on @monkeyflower.lens for more details...
The storm on the horizon is getting closer. Brace yourselves...
Well I have to say, @lenster.lens already has a better UX than #Mastadon. Any chance @lensxyz.lens will become compatible with the #fediverse?
