RE: Programming Diary #32: Launched a project in stealth mode

in Steem Dev3 days ago

Greetings, I hope you and your family have had a wonderful time during your holidays! :)

I've unfortunately not yet checked out SAM or SCA, but I plan on doing it when I arrive in Brazil again. I do think the Conversation Accelerator is a great idea both to grow the interaction rate on the platform and to enhance the quality of information exchanges, two things clearly needed around here. Looking forward to learn more about your stealth project as well...! Good luck on it.

Finally, I wanted to give my opinion about free spech on digital networks as Steem. I was not here during the "Witness Wars", but it does not seem to have been a really great time for the platform, specially in the censorship front. However, I recently experienced Musk's lack of communication with Brazilian authorities that led to a national ban onto Twitter, and it was really uncomfortable. I've been using Bluesky as well, but I'm a lot more into the idea of a self-regulating community as Steem, even if it's just through up and downvotes. I do think the discussion is a really long and complex one, but I also agree that "free speech" is something that can be used to market Steem to the rest of the internet. In my opinion, the most important thing is to make Steem a good platform for the userbase, and I really respect your efforts and from other developers here. I think the future is bright, and I have been daring to be more optimistic about this year that just started... we'll see! Cheers 🤠✨
