There has been some more clarity today about the Tron / Steemit Inc partnership from an interview with Head of Communications @andrarchy.
Also in this edition there is news and updates about Reviewhunt's traffic jump, the DTube Mainnet launch and the BEERlovers of Steem.
And there are more additions to the Diary Dates section as well as regular updates on the Steem Foundation and the Steem Proposal System, and another Featured Contest.
1. The Tron / Steem Partnership
A little more clarity on the changes afoot today, with the first communications from any of the Steemit Inc team.
First up @exyle did an interview with Steemit Inc Head of Communications @andrarchy. From the discussion @exyle highlighted these points...
- The team was part of the deal and no one was laid off.
- They did not know when the deal happened (but were aware of talks with parties, basically they learned with us when it happened).
- No ads soon on steemit.com (thanks @justinsunsteemit).
- No token Swap.
- No moving to TRON.
- Faster onboarding is something @justinsunsteemit mentioned as very important.
- Communities on steemit.com within 2 weeks.

Ok, so my takeaway from this is that we should be buying up steem hand over fist! Is that correct?
Go for it!
(This is not financial advice etc etc 😀)
Awesome summary & community service @pennsif ! Kudos & metta... x
Thank you @artemislives
teem is everywhere in the news. Let's hope all things turn out good after these FUD days.

Hoping for the best...
Thanks for the support, glad you caught the OneLoveDTube hive community launching 👍
Here is hoping DTube implements communities in the near future, for now we cross post with an alt account 😎 boosts for authors I can get behind that idea 💪
Yes I saw that note about Communities. Hope they can get it included in DTube as soon as possible.
I believe the new Steemit.com with Communities will be launched in the next two weeks.
Here is hoping 🤞 priority is their chain as I have been told but they did state communities would be looked at when live.
I believe the new version of steemit.com with Communities will be released in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks, as always.
I see a vote was missed... have some $trendotoken

Sad to hear ads leave. Ads, prevalent upon all commercial platforms help determine...viability because ads track actual users and viewers. Besides providing an additional revenue stream, there are hidden commercials in movies which help defray the cost of production, advertisers exercise freedom of expression. Banning expression in one form, leads to the banning of expression in other forms, and in the people like me who need to express themselves so that others may continue to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are silenced. We never hear from people like you either
Good point re ads.
I use the Brave browser so I don't actually see them though.
