Bridging Digital Communities
"bridge-bot" is a service I offer for free (maintain and run software). It is able to seamlessly "bridge" chat rooms between different protocols and communities - i.e. connect a Discord room from Aragon to a Giveth telegram channel.Especially with the advent of DAOs my services are being requested on a regular basis as it is a great way to facilitate DAO to DAO communication by sharing a channel with the respective other.The ethos of open source development lends itself to widespread mingling instead of siloing oneself and their development. But the chat protocols we use are organized differently and its not in their original functionality to enable rooms that are shared between communities. This is invaluable for DAO to DAO communication.Another aspect is catering to the community on muliple levels by bridging a topic room in the same community between different protocols and therefore be able to:- transition/migrate to a new chat protocol- have backups in case of server hacks, message limits (Slack) or deplatforming- cater to different user needs (one likes discord for its options, another Element chat for being open source)- most people are lazy to adopt new applicationsThe bridges need to be monitored and maintained. I regularly check that everything is in working order. I usually don't charge for service provision, but I do accept donations (all Ethereum tokens)List of bridged communities:GivethThe Commons StackMetagameHackalong1hiveethereum.orgbalancer.ioAragoncadCADToken EngineeringToken Engineering CommonssourcecredRaid GuildDappNodebrightIDMetafactorydOrgMaticConsensysPanvalaGitcoinYearnDAOHausKshazuDAO Book ClubMol Le ArtETHLatamShenaniganSeeing EarthBoson ProtocolTrusted Seed
