The front page and the hot page used to be full of genuinely interesting articles that the guilds had curated. Steemit was a nice place where you could get away from memes and trolls and settle down to read some interesting stuff you couldn't find anywhere else. I used to love all the stuff about farming on aceh and travel in Japan and so on.

Now it's just a mess of people arguing and shouting at each other, and umpteen posts about steemit and dash (and you can find the dash stuff in other places, why do we need to read about it here as well).

I want the old steemit back - it was an oasis on the web where the usual race to the bottom in social media wasn't happening.
