This is completely understandable, getting some time off to rearrange things and recharge energy will always be healthy.
I was checking the comments and by reading @suesa's replies the most important problem, as far as I understand, is a serious lack of engagement in the steemstem community.
I think a solution for this could be very easy and I will share with you this example: In discord there is a community called @steemitbloggers and each member must upvote and comment another member on a daily basis. The posts of every member are in different categories since there are several rooms for link dropping (like art and food for example) and its in those rooms where everyone finds another user to give support.
And of course, this support is reported daily, and checked to confirm no one is lying about the support they give.
@qurator has a similar system in their discord as well.
This way we could guarantee the engagement of every member with the community.
What do you think folks?
I am not 100% for any coercitive system. We will actually try something else, but I am still not super sure this will work, where people engaging activities will be monitored. No engagement will mean less community support in the future. The long term will tell us whether this is a good move or not :)
In any case, thanks for passing by and giving your ideas! The more ideas we have, the best it will be to design something optimal ^^
