=== COMMENTS ON PROPOSAL: ===
This proposal offers the DAO a unique opportunity to gain insights into community retention and engagement without incurring any costs. The requested data is already publicly available, so there’s minimal privacy risk. While some have voiced privacy concerns, it’s important to note that this data could be accessed by any interested party since it’s already in the public domain. By supporting this research, we may uncover valuable findings to enhance community health and user retention strategies.
Furthermore, the proposal includes the potential to test a bot, Hivemind, which would allow community members to query relevant historical discussions, adding further value to community engagement. It’s commendable that the Foundation consulted DAO members on this initiative, demonstrating a respectful approach to data handling and governance. Given the non-commercial, academic nature of this research, the potential benefits far outweigh any perceived risks.
