Fugettes 💗✨ Fugz Talkz 🎙️ Showing up.

Host: May June (likely, running @fugettes) • Thu 02 Jul 2026 • ~1h00m • 4 active speakers

TL;DR

• A low-key, unstructured "hang out" Space that turned into a candid post-mortem on why NFT/IP projects have been migrating off the Abstract chain to Ethereum.
• Souls (@solsweb3, Kabu) explained Kabu's move to ETH, framing it as a "necessary step" rather than an announcement, and credited the Fugs team and Kev for absorbing the initial backlash. [6:43]
• Yot (@yotdog69, Fugs) recounted being a first mover on migration, saying he told his community not to lean into the fights — and that the attacks came at Fugs but not from Fugs. [13:33]
• Both founders vented about Abstract's founder support drying up, with Souls saying he poured ~$300k into Kabu partly on the strength of promises that never materialized. [48:01]
• A running thread on community-building: dying subcommunities, running project accounts, and the shift from "shilling" Spaces to genuinely talking with people. [25:26]
• Host previewed Fugs' new collector profile / badge system and holiday GIFs, and confirmed the weekly Thursday 1pm EST cadence. [56:44]

Highlights

[5:35] The tone-setter. Souls jumps on stage and opens with a deadpan "just want to say that Yacht's gay real quick," followed by the host's own signature un-funny answer to "what's up" — "the ceiling." Sets the deliberately unserious, friends-hanging-out vibe of the whole Space.

[6:43] Why Kabu migrated. Souls delivers his most substantial segment: Kabu waited months to announce its move to ETH because migrating and then "sitting quiet" would have drawn worse FUD. He thanks Yot and Kev for taking the first punches, calls the move "ballsy," and stresses ETH means "you make your own bed" without Abstract's security blanket. [9:32]

[11:18] Yot calls it straight. Yot cuts through Souls' careful phrasing: "You ain't on ETH yet, motherfucker. You said you made like five announcements of the announcement, and now you're saying it's not an announcement." Souls concedes he's "practicing" for his own Space coming up.

[13:33] The first-mover story. Yot describes reading the wallet data — "these foggers aren't just speaking for the sake of noise, their wallets are telling a whole story" — deciding Fugs would move first, and telling his community not to take the bait. He's proud the attacks didn't come from the Fugs side.

[19:57] Branding as a moat. Souls praises Fugs for having "the best branding of any project," pointing to the fact "people can say fuck off" as its own community superpower, and laments that nobody reads infographics in web3.

[30:xx] Recognition for the host. Souls tells May she doesn't give herself enough credit as a Spaces host and that he can't think of anyone more deserving of her spot on the community team — a warm moment that clearly landed.

[33:26] The "redundant Spaces" reckoning. The host opens up about a community member telling her the Fugs news Spaces were "redundant and annoying" because she was just re-shilling known info. She rethought her whole approach toward connecting over vomiting updates — and Souls backs her: projects' news gets lost within 48 hours, and it's about talking with not to the community. [34:39]

[39:32] Ladies anchor the space. Souls: "We love the ladies in the space. They literally anchor everybody together." He recalls the Abstract Angels women's community and asks whether the host was part of it, prompting a shared reflection on why those subcommunities went quiet. [40:19]

[48:01] The Abstract grievance. The emotional core: Souls says Luca held weekly founder calls and promised a full week of marketing support that never happened, that the founders group chat is "absolutely dead," and that projects who poured real money got "pushed back." Yot, who minted ~6 months in, says he never got a single call and never relied on the chain — "we just did our own thing... and turned out to be all right." [46:23]

[50:04] Multitasking honesty. As he prepares to leave for his own Space, Souls admits his split focus: "I am trying to respond to things, but at the same time, I am destroying 12-year-olds on Rocket League." A light exit before a heartfelt round of goodbyes.

Topic timeline

Notable quotes

• "You ain't on ETH yet, motherfucker. You said you made like five announcements of the announcement, and now you're saying it's not an announcement, bro." — Yot [11:18]
• "The first thing I sent was a telegram message to him... I didn't even say hello, I just said it's about fucking time." — Yot, on Kev's migration [12:20]
• "The fact that people can say fuck off is like the best thing ever. So shout out to that, whoever decided to make that a thing." — Souls [19:57]
• "It's about relating to people on a personal level and hanging out instead of just reiterating announcements." — Souls [34:39]
• "We love the ladies in the space. They literally anchor everybody together. Ladies talk sense into us men who make maybe not the best decisions." — Souls [39:32]
• "I poured 300 grand of my own money into Kabu... and when you tell me things, it influences marketing and timing, and you can't just do that to people." — Souls, on Abstract [48:01]

Who said what

• May June (likely, @MayJune20121) — Host/driver of the Space; ran the Fugettes/Fugs Talks show solo, steered topics, did shout-outs, and reflected candidly on her growth as a host and the feedback she got.
• Souls (likely, @solsweb3) — Kabu founder; the dominant guest. Explained Kabu's ETH migration, praised Fugs' branding and the host, and aired grievances about Abstract's founder support.
• Yot (likely, @yotdog69) — Fugs team; the blunt counterweight to Souls. Told the first-mover migration story and defended his community's conduct, while saying he never relied on the chain.
• Angel (likely, @Angelus3289) — Host's partner; comic relief late in the Space (Yacht jokes, football/soccer voting banter, "touch grass").

Worth a full listen

• [6:43 – 18:30] The full founder-to-founder exchange on migration strategy — timing, wallet data, community psychology, and FUD management — is far richer live, with Souls and Yot playing off each other's very different experiences.
• [44:20 – 49:30] The Abstract grievance arc: Souls' raw account of broken promises and dead founder chats, immediately followed by Yot's contrasting "we never relied on them" perspective. The nuance between the two viewpoints doesn't compress well.
• [33:26 – 39:00] The candid stretch on what makes a good Space — the host reckoning with the "redundant" feedback and Souls' story about being terrified before a 3,000-person pitch — is the heart of the "showing up" theme in the title.
