We have witnessed community guidelines being breached by Dacha multiple times.
We as Councils of Creative DAO have tried to sort it out internally over calls and telegram texts with Dacha. Even after repeated attempts to stop harassment of community members it has continued and is getting worse by the day.
This presents a great threat to the development of existing communities and the new ones seeking out to build on NEAR.
What might have started out as conspiracy theories back in the day has now turned into cyberbullying and misuse of power.
Members are not feeling safe and are demanding action.
We request readers to go through all the details carefully and check the links & telegram groups for more clarity.
Issue 1 - Defamation, manipulation of narrative and abuse of power
Calling Rhyme from NXM community “a criminal” on the forum
- Dacha went to Rhyme’a personal Instagram, quoted a Hashtag from his post about marijuana legalization. And asked Rhyme “why should community support a criminal”
- I asked Dacha to change his response about calling Rhyme a criminal on the same forum post. After changing his response, he used his forum Moderator permission to edit his quoted words on my comment which mentioned him calling Rhyme a criminal.
- This completely changed the narrative of the thread.
-
Dacha claimed to have called the organizers, which when verified by Rhyme later, was untrue.
-
After checking with the organizers, Rhyme informed him that none of the organizers were called by Dacha, clearly showing Dacha was lying about it.
-
Dacha later deleted his post claiming he called organizers.
-
([Approved] NxM Integrating a Full Web3 Experience at Local Music Festival - #11 by rhymetaylor)
-
Offensive remarks were made which were completely uncalled for.
-
Then deleted later. Again changing the narrative of the thread.
-
-
After that Dacha suspended Rhyme for allegedly perceiving him as a criminal without any proof
- Later Dacha messaged Rhyme on telegram and expressed it was due to personal reasons, not at all related to Rhyme.
Case 2 - Misrepresenting information and lying about a new community member from 1 MLN NFT project and Creative DAO moderators on Transparency Commision telegram.
-
A new project, 1MLN NFTs, was funded by Creatives DAO in April. The value prop offered by the project can be checked in the link below.
-
[Approved] 1 MIL NFTs to the Creatives DAO and the whole NEAR community
-
Dacha was dismissive of the new project and organized a call with Michael, the DAO council and the project manager of 1MLN NFTs
-
After his conversation, Dacha posted outright lies about Creative DAO councils misconstruing consciously what Michael said.
- Michael being a new member of the community got extremely disappointed with what he was reading and shared his response.

Few other Concerns
-
Along with being a Council for Marketing DAO onin NEAR, Dacha is also a moderator for the Aurora community which is a direct conflict of interest.
-
NDC participation - Dacha is actively participating in the Transparency Commission and Regional DAOs.
-
I presume here that he’d want to be a part of it. This poses a threat to members and communities even further as his decisions, judgments and motivations in various cases have been purely personal, biased with narratives being completely skewed and based on poor due diligence.
-
We’re growing bigger in size and more seasoned communities and projects are joining in that would require strong marketing support. I do not know if he has relevant experience, a degree or any kind of qualification required to make marketing decisions for this community.
With various issues being publicly discussed even before this incident and no action has still taken against him for a while, it is discouraging for many members of the community to continue building.
It also dissuades community members from bringing in more new partnerships and communities due to the slander and attacks directed towards community members as it makes this space unsafe to work and build.
Something seems completely off with the picture of why someone from the leadership of Ecosystem DAOs wants to relentlessly attack Creatives’ DAO and associated creative communities rather than trying to help members build.
We’re tired of dealing with constant attacks as it puts us in a defensive spot and no one can create when they are trying to defend continuously, let alone the mental trauma caused to the community members.
The question is - Do we want our ecosystem leadership to look like this?
This is a picture case of cyberbullying and I appeal to the NEAR foundation to take actions mentioned below after investigating the facts shared above.
Post an investigation if the information mentioned is proven correct, I Appeal to NF
-
To Remove Dacha as a council of MDAO due to breach of the above violations
-
For GWG to step in and reject Dacha to lead the Transparency Commission.
