Steem > Steemit
So don't worry about Steemit. There are plenty of alternatives:
https://busy.org
https://steempeak.com
https://esteem.app
https://partiko.app
and so on.
There was an idea from @noisy, to just shut down everything related to Steemit for a week and see how we are doing during that period :-)
With all due respect, Ned was never been a Steem's captain. He's a Steemit Inc's admiral. He's still sailing on our ocean. He has a big fleet of ships, a lot of cargo. He announced some changes to his fleet. That's all.
(Actually I would be more than happy if Steemit Inc would focus on the Blockchain development).
Steem is awesome, regardless.
'Admiral' - that's such a fitting analogy (rather than captain).
Especially if you consider how the two roles are represented in Star Trek, the the former typically being distant and ambiguos.
And he may be exploring new blockchain territory, but I can't quite imagine @Ned captaining The Enterprise. Despite the ever so slight resemblance to William Shatner.
I agree with you about the memo message. Great idea these Witness surveys, shame to have them limited by the means of distribution.
I didn't realise @gandalf was yr alt account!

Very interesting, I like your creative comparative analogy to an admiral with a large fleet. Overall it sounds positive and hopeful.
