"I've been working to move people off these mainstream networks since 2010; the most difficult task in all the world....."
you are so right, it is a huge task... what I have heard many times is "I don't have interest in having a steemit blog".. from all kinds of people from all-kinds of backgrounds.. its like they don't want to stand out from the crowd with the risk of not following the pack... I think most know that they can be censored and that its all bad, but they seem to not really want to do anything about it.
I think that the best option we have (us that are already here) for on-boarding the masses, is to stick together, upvote each others, GET MORE RICH then the mainstream and then they will follow in desperation... I see that like the only scenario for victory...
Do you agree with this?
I agree entirely; I don't think 'we' do a good enough job of this now - supporting one another that is -- b/c unfortunately the masses will FOLLOW one another into the Oblivion - and will help bring in MORE censorship when we have the opportunity to fight for NONE of it.
