RE: A comment reply turned into a root post...
Again thank you for the reply and the honesty. I do completely agree with you 100% on this point:
Let's work together to improve things. We aren't lab rats. We're the early adopters who get to tell future Steemians "Back in my day..."
I'm ready and I'm sure there are many many here that would love to work with you to improve things... I know the witnesses on my list would be happy to work with you to make improvement. I speak frequently with @abh12345 @danielsaori and somewhat frequently with @yabapmatt @jackmiller and @paulag. I know all 5 of those individual witnesses would love to improve things, so if dealing with many small guys takes too much time, then I know you can get some good ideas and work with them!
And I am always reachable on discord at davemccoy#2479 (if you care to talk to me directly!)
Again thank you for engaging honestly and glad we are having this discussion!
I'm glad we are also. Thanks for caring so much about STEEM and Steemit. :)
This kind of constructive discussion simply doesn't happen on Twitter, Reddit, Facebook or any other platform. How often do we see a post starting out with a very critical tone, ultimately finding common ground and ending up in collaboration in the comment section. The open mindset and willingness to learn with the Steem adopters really make this platform worthwhile.
What matters is NOT the economy, it's the people!
Well said! It's amazing what happens when things are on chain and there are motivational incentives (reputation, financial, influential, etc) to remain respectful, even there are disagreements.
