Publius

I met Publius earlier in the year in the Ethos discord. I don't know him extremely well, but the interactions I have had with him since becoming acquainted have been nothing but positive. Publius quickly showed enthusiasm and a genuine curiosity for ethos. He was also posing questions to the team in discord and cultivating ideas on how ethos can be approved through the current designs in place. I specifically remember listening to him during the massive Ethos fud once the initial score changes had been implemented. He was there to support the team and stood by her perspective without wavering. I can tell that Publius doesn't take BS for an answer but still keeps his tact and is respectful during any form of discourse. Solid community member to have for any project.

Been interacting with Publius for a few months within the Ethos community. Main takeaway is how well he approaches each discussion. He expresses himself in a manner that challenges you and expands your knowledge. Someone I would have a drink with IRL.

Great to see Publius finally on ethos, has contributed and written helpful content for Ethos in the past and feel like is a solid add to our community. I don't know him outside of our brief interactions in the community and on twitter over the past couple of weeks

I've been following and interacting with Publius for a while now, especially through the Ethos discord, and every exchange has been a genuine pleasure. I consider him one of those rare voices that doesn’t just contribute to a conversation, but actually helps shape it. Our back and forths have had real depth, and I’ll be honest, his input has nudged my own thinking in surprising ways. It’s not just that he’s opinionated, it’s how clearly and confidently he expresses those opinions, often challenging assumptions without ever being overbearing. I can tell he’s not writing to score points or anything like that, he genuinely wants to explore the truth, even if it means going against the grain. In a space full of noise, he’s pure signal. A top tier thinker and a genuinely rewarding person to engage with.

I met Publius in the Ethos discord a while back. He's been a great contributor to the project and is never afraid to slash "reputable" users for doing unethical things. It's great to see someone take a stand for what they believe in, especially when the outcome can negatively impact their score.

I've been following Publius since day one and our first fireside chats around Ethos. He's always been very active and had great back and forth with Serp. His input has helped drive product direction and also impacted the way our thinking was resolving around new features.

I don't know Publius. I don't even think I follow the person. I also rarely ever leave reviews cause i am lazy, but i wanted to write one for this person. I am friends with people they have slashed, or attempted to slash, and honestly. I think every attempt has had merit. Do I agree with the slashes? Not entirely. But this platform could use more people like Publius who actually puts time, energy, and effort into the app. Giving quality responses, reviews, and slash attempts with data, and information. It is by and far the best example of what Ethos could be. I spent time today reviewing my own reviews, and the amount of AI Slop garbage that people have positively reviewed me for is comical at best. When you have someone who actually gives a shit about a platform, and puts the energy and effort into it, they deserve to have positive feedback given in return. Keep crushing. I like the posts.

Shared a well thought out argument on slashing I proposed for Polymarket. Putting time and effort into this thinking about the situation and the purpose of slashing.

Publius stands out for his curiosity and thoughtful engagement. Always asking insightful questions and contributing ideas to improve projects. During moments of uncertainty, he shows clear support for the team while maintaining respect and tact in every discussion. A dependable and valuable community member for any project. He engages with others meaningfully and helps make discussions more insightful. His contributions genuinely strengthen the community.
