Hi, I am “MN at Week in PGF & Blocktrend,” a participant in the Gitcoin Citizens Retro #3. I’m here to share some thoughts and observations, particularly from the perspective of a Chinese-speaking Gitcoin Citizen.
The Gitcoin Citizens Retro #3 initiative is a remarkable step towards recognizing and rewarding the contributions of various community members. The allocation of 40K GTC to the matching fund pool, decided by global participants with a Gitcoin Passport score above 15, showcases the commitment to democratic and inclusive decision-making.
However, I’d like to raise a point regarding the additional allocation of 10K GTC for signal boosting, which is distributed among specific representatives. While this mechanism is innovative, it might inadvertently pose challenges for non-English-speaking participants like myself and other Chinese-speaking Citizens.
The essence of Gitcoin’s growth lies in its expansion into diverse and heterogeneous communities. The signal boosters, selected for their proximity to the core Gitcoin culture, might have a natural inclination towards projects and individuals within their linguistic or cultural sphere. This could potentially limit the visibility and support for valuable contributions from other linguistic backgrounds.
It’s vital for the signal-boosting process to consider the linguistic diversity within the Gitcoin community. By acknowledging and addressing this, we can ensure that the distribution of resources truly reflects the global and varied nature of our ecosystem.
Thank you for considering this perspective, and looking forward to seeing how we can all contribute to a more inclusive Gitcoin community.
