RE: Dear Steem Community, could a decentralized community regulated account be the next step needed towards a better Steem?
Voted for No.
I completely agree with @dr-frankenstein
He explained it better than I ever could.
Do we need a central, decentralized, community regulated Steem account?
The contradiction is in the title. Not a jab at you @soyrosa, I agree completely with your goals, just not the method you've presented here. Doing this via a publicly accessible interface would be a better idea.
Thanks for voting! :-) Not taking anything personally, if I didn’t think I needed feedback I wouldn’t have asked the community first.
As said a few times before: an interface would be my ideal too. But as a behavioural scientist with work experience in behavioural apps I know these things only/most likely succeed after experimentation since most apps fail without it. A manual way to organize could serve exactly that purpose.
Any ideas how we could do something now before we lose momentum while waiting for an unknown someone to build an interface are welcome (not directed solely to you by the way :D)

Isn't this what the SoS Discord is for? I actually had no idea that they had a dedicated Discord, just joined it.
Alternatively, we can always start a Fundition campaign to fund the development of an interface.
Having all information only on a discord server can get a bit tricky maybe.. or even if there was a “Steemitblog” style account more of the community could find the discord, or even know it exists. Having a place to announce things, keep users informed and share ideas that is actually on the blockchain seems like a good compliment to the discord idea.
Having the account ran by many, maybe from all different areas or even something where many can post without even having the keys etc makes sure the community is represented in my eyes. It also ensures it’s about the community and not the people behind the account.
I think the idea of having a place for the community to communicate with each other is a given, the how is where it gets tricky. I mean, how do you organize to help get things done while being decentralized? It contradicts itself, but then again.. nothing gets done without a bit of organization.
So I guess we figure out, as a community, how to make this happen in the best way we can. Interface would be amazing, a simple account is a way to start until we get there. The important part is to work together and not let the idea of some sort of “power” get in the way of what is best for the community.. which I think is the toughest part. Maybe a neutral place and account is a way to try to remove that aspect, again the “how” needs to be figured out though.
I for one am glad the community is even being asked what they think though, as that hasn’t happened until this post. It starts a much needed conversation and I hope it continues on the forum tomorrow.
