RE: Powered up / Make Steemit great again / switching focus
Well, as far as I know dolphins are users with at least 5k in Steem Power. So I think you would be a small dolphin then hehe :P
About the competition, I am not sure which one will be better. But I guess we will know more when the time comes and EOS competition is close to its release.
In the meantime we just need to steem on and building the best communities possible in here.
Well snap. I guess I became a baby dolphin today, and I didn't even get a t shirt lol!
Nor do I, though distribution is a hard problem for the Steem blockchain. EOS could circumvent the whole issue with that by doing a broad, fair distribution to EOS holders. That would make up for a decent amount of the head start even maybe.
With Dtube, Dlive, Dmania, Zappl, Steepshot and etc. Steem will not go anywhere though. The head start is substantial. What if though, a big what if the EOS version gets some of these apps to cross over. What if they allow posting across blockchains. So posting on EOS will also post onto here.
Too many variables to follow any tree of probability very far.
I agree that we do need to do that. I kind of want to start a tag. a humanvote tag or something. Where people can post quality content for others to see. So it would be easier to find. That excludes all the people who don't know abut the tag though, and some of them surely make content worthy of being seen by human curators too. It seems like lots of people have tried to form a community around a tag and for the most part it doesn't work. It would be something until real communities came though.
Everything I think of to try seems like such a long shot, or like the walls and barriers are too much to overcome for just me
You are not alone. I reckon we all feel like that.
@humanbot may be similar to the #humanvote idea. Dunno. You'd have to ask @carlgnash about it. There is a sizable group forming up around the #informationwar tag. Seems to be growing still. @stevescoins even set up a discord.
Do not be discouraged. As you point out, we mere human trifles are incapable of seeing into crystal balls much, and the smallest thing can change everything.
Exactly, we are growing our small community and months from now we will be a lot larger. 19 total members in Discord so far, we are just getting started on organization, expect good things!!
Send me an invite and I'll join.
I have not invested in the learning curve to use Discord to do more than communicate, so dunno how. @stevescoins, @openparadigm, or @truthforce may all be better able to do so, and I found the link on one of their blogs.
Sorry I'm so incompetent regarding what are probably simple matters!
It's still networking. I know you've had positive results at the Writer's Block.
If you become one of the "in crowd" your fellows on Discord are more likely to follow you and upvote. Elks Club, Masons, Cryps, Bloods, all the same thing. People affiliate, homie. Also some of these sites allow you to buy into their bot trail. PAL comes to mind. This evidently works, though I have yet to try it.
Well, that's a problem for me, as I'm an accidental networker, just getting involved in stuff I'm interested in rather than because of who is involved, or the encomiums that might proceed from such association.
I do really like the people at PAL, and hang out there a lot, despite that I refrain from joining any automated vote trails, bots, or the like. I have never actually delegated to their bots, nor even actually joined MSP, because of it. Nonetheless, I have not once noted the above referenced social issue from even one person there, which I find singular upon reflection.
It seems like SOMEONE should have been offended by my agreement with their purpose, but failure to endorse their automation goals. It hasn't happened yet, at least not to any point where I felt uncomfortable. Perhaps they reckon my failure to be rewarded by automated upvotes is penalty enough for my nonconformism with their minnow support mechanisms.
Same thing at TWB, even though folks there are far more intent on actually practicing writing, and undertake exercises just for that purpose, while I haven't. I do write a lot, but always with a purpose other than just learning about writing, and I feel guilty if I run posts by them to improve my posting skills, so I don't do it. I should though. Perhaps I was too impacted by the gift economy society of the Tlingits I was raised amongst to be able to feel comfortable impacting groups with matters I intend only to benefit myself.
PAL and TWB are great places to hang out for me not so much for the purpose of networking, but to enjoy good ideas, good company, and sparkling conversation.
That's the way to make friends, and if they like you and what you have to say, they'll follow you and upvote your posts and comments. Certainly people go to these chat rooms to get noticed, but when you are genuinely interested and contribute, it is natural for people to warm to you and become familiar. I have a hard time sitting still that long.
sure. check out this post

Thank you.
Hey @truthforce what do you think of Digibyte?
