RE: What Are Your Thoughts On Curie? (A Community Survey)
I am in favor of any organizations that attempt to proactively make steemit a better place without causing undue side effects to other people. Getting out of the trenches can be a trial for everyone. Were you lucky and someone with power happened to notice your post? Once you gain some momentum it becomes easier. Yet getting that initial momentum can be the killing blow for many a talented person that comes to steemit. Groups like Project Curie are perfect for helping people over the hump and out of the trenches. As long as Project Curie remains diverse and does not single out the same authors time and time again it is much like the saying "Teach someone to fish, rather than simply giving them fish."
I would think that using the new resteem ability could make project curie even more effective. I would also encourage others to consider other groups along these lines. Such groups being different people would likely result in very different choices. This can only help improve the diversity.
Instead of shouting out against the negatives with the platform that we perceive and demanding some technological solution, this shows that as a community we can make such requirements often unnecessary.
I will be in favor of groups like Curie as long as they embrace only the positive. I would not be a fan of similar groups if they formed with the intent of down voting things they deemed should be down voted. The down vote when misused is the path of aggression and war. It should be used sparingly and preferably not at all. Yet, if we approach things as positives we can accomplish much.
Keep up the good work.
