As a long-time member of the NEAR community, I can confirm that Dacha has been using manipulative tactics to bully others and bend reality. The evidence presented clearly shows that he has acted in bad faith by deleting his own bullying comments and pretending to be innocent. Such behavior can have disastrous consequences for the creative community, potentially driving people away from NEAR. Furthermore, Dacha has been known to use gaslighting techniques, denying the experiences of those who call him out and dismissing their concerns as false. Many community members building on Aurora with strong affiliation to CreativesDAO have also been bullied due to his position there, making them hesitant to speak out against him. It is crucial that we, as a community, take action to address this behavior and create a safe and inclusive space for everyone. We cannot allow **cyber bullying** and manipulation to continue. It is our responsibility to hold individuals accountable for their actions and work towards building a healthier community. **I genuinely hope that this leads to concrete actions, such as removing Dacha from any matters related to NF and NDC. This, of course, requires actions from NF and NDC.** cc @blaze @fiatisabubble * * * **EDIT** Time flies… > [@\[Announcement\] Marketing DAO constellation (NDC v0), new proposals, funding procedures, July's funding request](http://gov.near.org/t/announcement-marketing-dao-constellation-ndc-v0-new-proposals-funding-procedures-julys-funding-request/35476): > > Hello everyone!
