Your loyalaty is appreciated and encouraging. :) thats a great ability because without discussion- which takes more then one party, postbecome pretty lifeless. I have always been a comment scroller; its a way to learn more and see other view points and in turn expand yours on the topic, but that was one of the things that really got me stepping away from facebook. The comments there are more often then not name calling, arguing, and general negativity. Its really inviting to not see that here and to realize that debate and discussion is still possible without putting one another down. In fact, that was one of the things that made me explore more.

You're right about the sea only getting bigger. I think some kind of feature to "resurect" posts that weren't caught would be helpful, even an "inactive" section. General consensus that I've seen is that many quality posts go unseen. If they aren't caught right away, or kept active, they fade off and it would be nice and I think beneficial to have a way to look at these. There could be a gem there, just waiting to be dug up.

I'm sure tribes are inevitable, I juat hope they don't become cliquey... but so far Steemit as a whole has been supportive, open minded, and welcoming, so hopefully it keeps that mindset. cliques alienate, whereas tribes welcome. It will be interesting for sure to see how things devolop in the near future.
