RE: Exploring Sndcastle Communities [Cultivating Steemit Growth through Networks, Hubs & Projects]
At this point, @sndbox has a life force and is evolving in ways that no one could exactly predict nor can we know exactly the form it will take going forward and what evolutions will emerge as a result of this hub. It's important to create these kinds of posts periodically about @sndbox in all its facets to helps the larger community keep in touch with the nature of the project(s) and how your thinking and goals are expanding as well as how they are playing out in action.
All actions and aspects of this hub are important, but at this point in time what strikes me are the following two points -
Facilitating an easier experience for those new to steemit and bridging the language barrier are huge improvements that have already significantly opened up steemit, yes there's more distance to go especially with language, but this alone has melted some formidable obstacles.
Offering a model and support for steemians to expand how they can participate more fully - in small ways and larger such as the country hubs - is one of those seemingly simple endeavors that has profound impact. More profound than I can say although I see a picture of it with each individual part stretching its potential to exist more fully and the ecosystem expanding in all directions as well as new branches growing from tiny parts and large parts in equal measure.
This is pretty exciting to me to see "disruption" in action! I actually prefer to say "paradigm shift" rather than disruption since the latter scares people off ;-)
Thank you @natureofbeing for your support throughout this discovery and development process. Your thoughtful feedback, advice and encouragement have been so important to us!
The paradigm shift is underway... these two points you highlight are absolutely critical. We have an exciting new project coming next week that will seek to address both:
