We need communities! Discussion wanted on implemention on the Steem blockchain.

For some reason I felt suddenly motivated tonight to figure out how the fuck to do communities on Steem. We need communities. I've been waiting for them for a long ass time. Unfortunately, Steemit seems to have prioritized SMT's to the detriment of everything else. And even those have taken forever and been downgraded to a "lite" version.

I know, I know, SMT's are piss from a goddess and you wanna drink their bath water.

I think they are potentially very useful, but we don't even have communities on a site that's named in all likelihood as a sort of nod to Reddit. Reddit is basically all communities.

So how the fuck would someone do them? Has anyone started work on them? Is there a write up on what they will be to any extent? All I can remember is some preview from forever ago.

What kind of communities would they be? Would you designate a post as part of a community when you made it, sort of like LiveJournal and it's clones? Would there be admins? How the fuck would you do admins on a decentralized platform? Would they be free-for-alls? Then would it just sort of work like a topic that anyone can post to?

While I was thinking of this, I thought I should try to look for any info that people have worked on so far. Except I ran into the same problem I ranted about not that long ago. Steemit never put together anything to organize the community. There's no page you can go to to see all the documentation on upcoming features and help contribute. For now, I have to search around and try to see if I can find anything.

Not that I could necessarily do enough to implement them myself if I even found info on them. I still haven't gotten around to reading through the Steem source. I should probably be doing that rather than just talking about this. But we should be talking about things like this. We should be talking, on the blockchain, about how things on Steem should be developed.

So, anyone got any ideas or links to information on community implementation by Steemit?

Of course, I wonder if we need more, like chat rooms. We wouldn't likely want those on the blockchain. There are already implementations for distributed chats already. One of them could likely be implemented into a Steem site. However, there is the issue of cross-site messaging. We could at the very least make messaging more user friendly. People are already spamming us with transfers, we should at least be able to talk to eachother without going into our wallets. Of course, with how much I talk, I might go broke in a few days.
