The thing that I like about this platform is the ability to start and carry on a conversation about a topic. To get all views from all angles that can result over time a solution to a subject. Nothing may ever be done about it but it is out there and in the thoughts of many.
In this day and age that sure is an accomplishment in its own right. I look forward to different opinions and thoughts. The more I grow and exposed to more people the more it happens and I for one am better off for it
I agree. It is nice to have these kinds of conversations, especially when all parties are recognizing it as such, a conversation, and not taking offense and then becoming offensive.
As it is, I'm not sure if there's "a" solution as there is, as you say, things to consider. Some of us here find a great amount of satisfaction and fulfillment in these other projects. To stop doing it isn't much of a solution, right? Those who are engaged in other activities wouldn't feel good about doing that.
I think that's awesome, and a great undertaking. I haven't done things like that here, but I know what kind of an effort can be required, especially if you're by yourself or even coordinating a small group of people.
I just hope it all works out and continues to be a positive for everyone involved.
It's all a valiant effort, and at the same time, I wish something would be done about it on the UI/UX level. Maybe Communities will do that, when/if it shows up. :)
This is still so new. all levels are working through things. We don't see much of what goes on and then there is the conversation that go on off the platform that we really don't know about until later on. Most of the upper level have the platform in mind and would like to see it improve but they have limits to. There have been some great improvements over the past two months and I see it getting better by the month, even if it is baby steps
What would say are the great improvements over the past two months? In the platform itself? Something else. I'm curious because I'm not sure what you're referring to.
Yeah, news can travel pretty slow around here, and then we get some and more times than not it puts people up in arms over something. I'm not really that much into the reactionary part, but at some point, finding out about things after the fact can be frustrating.
I believe we're supposed to have some say in what happens here, but I haven't really seen that in action. I've heard about it, but that's about it.
I don't automatically assign any bad intent to anyone at Steemit Inc. I would hope, if they're working there, that they would have the best interest of the platform at heart. I've been in business for myself, though, so I tend to look at decisions being made or not being made and wonder why. Sometimes it's hard to come up with a reason.
At any rate, I believe you're right. We're still early on in this and hopefully the changes that they've been working on for a while now will start to roll out and they will give us more tools to work with.
SBI , Dustsweeper, esteem and other apps, steemfleamarket, Dlive to name a few off the top of my head
I have also seen where some of the bigger fish have shown some support to some organisations. even curie has branched out with support in other areas.
It is not like a business where the head sets the goals and path here there is no formal head
Okay. I see. So you're talking about apps and programs that have appeared over the last few months. I don't use the apps other than Steemit and occasionally busy, and I'm not set up with the programs. Hadn't heard of steemfleamarket, but I have seen steemhunt and is it steemdeals? Something like that.
It's true, curie is involved now with the leagues. Hopefully that will continue after the current two months are up. The other bigger fish seem to have their SP delegated to all kinds of causes, some I'm okay with, others, not so much.
I would say there is no formal head, but there's a lot of looking at ned and others at Steemit for help or guidance or direction. We have the independent apps showing up, but they're always soliciting SP delegations, and that's primarily coming from official Steemit Inc held accounts. The witnesses theoretically could create, release and adopt their own forks, but that's not happened (lack of expertise notwithstanding), so while there's plenty of things moving forward, it's not without the blessing in some way from Steemit inc. At least not for the projects that last very long.
