RE: Positivity for Steemians After HF20 | Long Range View
I totally hear this and “having to start over” has been one of my concerns as well (reasons I am happy to be building community on @dtube and @tribesteemup ahead of the SMTs).
As for your first paragraph, I think...
I'm not sure anymore about the alignment of the dev team with user experience and retention.
Your fears are spot on. I don’t think they care. I know @meno had an exchange with someone (I’ll try to find it and post the exchange here as an update/ update: it was his convo with Luke stokes as referred to in this comment -the entire thread with Luke Stokes would be worth reading ) where it was basically revealed that yeah they aren’t focused on steemit front end or the user base. Steemit is just a mock dapp on steem, the first of its kind and they had always intended for others to create better ones. They aren’t working on it, it won’t get out of beta, they literally don’t care... and are totally focused on scalability for tokenizing the internet.. we shall see how that pans out.
Well I guess I'm glad to see that I did figure it out accurately, though I wish it was a different truth.
Yes, it is important that we make sure we can establish relationships through here that aren't solely taking place on here. We are a TSU community that can be anywhere together.
(Though I concluded today that it surely won't be Minds for me. I've often suspected that place was a little too Trumpy for me, but then today I decided to follow a poll on there about Kavanaugh. It was hundreds of people believing him and single digits believing Ford. Confirmed what the random posts coming up in my feed (boosted by anyone, not just those I follow) was already indicating. Not for me.)
I just hope one of the SMTs manages to get traction before some other site like NRVE, Minds, etc. does, or their frontrunner advantage with Steemit will have been squandered.
That said, I'm particularly praying that the new changes don't undermine Steem Monsters. I really love that game!
yeah it is a difficult one to swallow. it's interesting joining something that we all have wishes to see it go in different directions yet really cannot shift the infrastructure creation. i still think we can make something amazing of this place on a grassroots level regardless of the slightly sociopathic and tone deaf leadership.
thanks for the review of Minds! I think i have an account there (i've dipped into a few other cryp blockchain social sites), but none of them have really "taken" for me. wow alarming to hear the stats on them believing kavanaugh. i couldn't believe what a baby he was in the hearing.
totally agree!
haha i hope it doesn't undermine SM for you too ;) i haven't gotten into that yet, but i did read your review of it the other day and it tempted me a little further lol!
