It's unavoidable to have some meta but want to keep it to a minimum. Don't want 100 posts a day talking about STEMGeek and nothing about STEM.
There are probably going to be a lot of "meta" posts right now, cuz it's fairly new, but there are a ton of people that do STEM content all the time, and TBH SteemSTEM discouraged a lot of that by being so focused on "quality" and wanting everyone to per-approve post with them, and not wanting post about things in the news. I never wanted to post about STEM content because of them. I have a desk in the other room covered in electronics, and the last post I did talking about any of it was months ago. I have tabs in my browser open right now dealing with game development and AI and even a repo for a steem-engine airdrop tool that I was looking at the code of. And yet I never posted about any of that stuff I'm doing, because SteemSTEM was not very encouraging to post regular normal everyday posts. They seemed to want you to spend days researching everything, then submit it for approval, then only after post it. Fuck that noise.
This is where STEMGeeks differs. It is more accepting of amateur content. Hack your blowdryer into a freeze gun, that's awesome let's see it.
Setup a Raspberry Pi to block ads, that's cool too.
You don't have to be going for a noble peace prize. Although that's more than welcome as well.
Even if you just want to talk about some new gadget you got, it's welcome as well. The more geeky the better.
And I think that will encourage a TON more STEM content, including stuff that SteemSTEM will curate. They might have to actually expand. :P I think people won't be as afraid that they'll spend a bunch of effort on something that won't be acknowledged for the effort.
