RE: When the Community Feels Different
I'm here. Come by whenever you feel like it.
Yes, there are more important things than Steem. But it can be part of the whole, it can play the role you give it. Steem is you. And me. And everyone here. Like you, I miss good people, whom I naturally cannot blame for leaving. What I don't miss is the feeling that Steem is owned by someone. That is precisely the great opportunity that lies in this project.
If Steem goes under for all the people who showed up here with the wrong expectations, then it will offer space for us again... ;-))
Yup yup… I get exactly what you mean.
And when I said “owning,” I didn’t mean it in the sense of challenging how centralized the platform is or how it functions. What I meant was that feeling you get for a place you genuinely care about — the way it becomes part of your daily rhythm, your thoughts, your little world.
You’re right: Steem is you, and me, and whoever chooses to stay. People leave, and we can’t blame them, but the space they once filled still leaves an echo. And maybe that’s why it hits harder sometimes.
But yes… if Steem sheds those who came with the wrong expectations, maybe that’s exactly when it opens up again for the people who actually value it, who see it as more than numbers.
