I’ve been getting a lot of messages and mentions about the Based Advocate program. While I’m no longer at Base, I wanted to recognize the people behind it who I had the pleasure of working with The program started three years ago to recognize helpful, impactful community members who showed up every day in Discord. We later expanded to Reddit, growing to around 100 advocates worldwide, representing many different languages and backgrounds Together, they helped grow and support a Discord community of ~600k and a Reddit community of ~100k Many participated in our decentralized support and ticketing system, collectively resolving hundreds, sometimes thousands, of tickets each week. Many were volunteers. Beyond support, they were in the channels every day, answering questions, welcoming people, and keeping conversations going I’m sad to see the program sunset. Many of these contributors have been with Base for years, dedicating hours every week because they wanted to be part of something and help it grow. They deserve recognition for the time and care they put into this community If any company or project is looking for moderators or community contributors, please reach out. I’d be happy to connect you with some great people 💙

Recently got a @Tesla and have loved FSD. It’s handled 97% of my driving so far This week, I was especially grateful for the cameras. A driver intentionally threw a glass bottle onto the freeway, sending debris into my car and causing damage. Thankfully, the cameras captured the incident from multiple angles
