I like the discussion about cross chain sharing. It opens up the power of creating content for steemit by allowing for a broader base of people to see this content. It would be awesome if they incorporated tools where you could choose to post links to your steemit article/content when you publish it on steemit. Make it as simple as all the FB/twitter/etc. symbols at the bottom of most articles commonly found on the internet.
The only downside is that you want quality posts to be shared on other platforms and low quality posts also get shared, it would perhaps hurt the reputation of steemit. However, high quality posts could enhance its reputation.
That is very true, spamming garbage across multiple chains would be a negative. This is were a better (and fairly balanced) self-governance system becomes important. Where flags adding up over time from the community can hurt a spammers's rep, which reduces rewards share over time to disincentivize that behavior, but maybe cannot be used to destroy accounts and rewards out-right like we see here on Steemit now just because a person disagrees with someone else's opinions.
It's definitely a thin line to walk, but hopefully others with the ability and capabilities to do so will figure it out. :-)
I appreciate your feedback.
I think this is a great topic for discussion and resteemed to get the discussion going.
