Unfortunately Steem... seems like there is no other way!

in Project HOPE4 years ago

While the trend here evidently feels like if no one cares anymore.

While the trend here evidently feels like a gradually and consistent slow, painful and evolutionary blind path of lack of participation, interaction, comments, engagement, upvotes, rewards and earnings for sharing stuff.

These are clearly the signs and symptoms of an imminent sudden death of what once was known as a novel 'Social Network' to thrive around.

Mientras la tendencia aquí evidentemente se sienta como que ya a nadie le importa un rábano.

Mientras la tendencia aquí evidentemente se sienta como una gradual y consistentemente lenta, dolorosa y evolutiva ruta ciega de falta y carencia de participación, interacción, compromiso, votos a favor, recompensas, ingresos y ganancias por compartir cosas.

Estos son claramente los signos y síntomas de una inminente muerte súbita en la que una vez fue conocida como una novedosa 'Red Social' en la que se podía prosperar.

There seems to be no cure in sight today despite the noble and enthusiastic efforts of some optimistic healing souls in this environment in what was once a flourishing multicultural field of promises, hopes and very active collective development in which now it looks like a ghost town.

Yep, in one of those desertic places in which only silent tumbleweeds use to insistently circulate around and everywhere.

No parece existir actualmente un remedio a la vista a pesar de los muy nobles y entusiastas esfuerzos de algunas optimistas almas sanadoras en éste entorno en lo que otrora, alguna vez, solía ser un floreciente campo multicultural de promesas, esperanzas y muy activo desarrollo colectivo en lo que ahora luce como una ciudad fantasma.

Sí, en uno de esos desérticos lugares en el que solo insisten en circular silenciosas plantas rodantes en todo alrededor y por todos lados.

Maybe it's just a matter of lexicons, semantics, semiotics, phonetics and in short, basically a simple language and cultural barrier.

A simple language barrier between those who used and still use linguistic sources of Latin, Anglo-Saxon, German, Scandinavian and even aboriginal origin to fill the literary landscape of the whole place with content.

Sharing adventures, misadventures, occurrences, entertainment and knowledge. But in any case, currently indistinguishably away from the Asian roots of Chinese and Korean semiology syntax that seem to reign and dominate the marquees of the whole place today.

Quizás sea solo un asunto de léxicos, semántica, semiótica, fonética y en resumen, básicamente una simple barrera idiomática y cultural.

Una simple barrera idiomática entre aquellos que solían usar y aún usan fuentes linguísticas de origen más bien latino, anglosajón, germano, escandinavo e inclusive aborigen para llenar de contenido el paisaje literario de todo el lugar.

Compartiendo aventuras, desventuras, ocurrencias, entretenimiento y conocimiento, pero en todo caso, actualmente indistinguíblemente alejado de las raíces semiológicas asiáticas de la sintaxis del chino y coreano que parecen hoy reinar y dominar las marquesinas de todo el lugar.

Yeah, I suppose that it is also obvious that there should be no problem with that either. Since throughout history, we have been witnesses, adequately informed and we are well aware of the multiple wars, several invasions, occupations, hostile takeovers, looting, banishments, displacements and extermination of the population and original occupants of the nowadays unlawfully occupied territory that have been occurring throughout the centuries in all the geography of the planet.

But that I, that I don't have the soul of an immigrant or an adventurer. And that by the way, I am already too old to be running or fleeing to anywhere.

It has never been in my nature to suddenly abandon too soon, in one fell swoop, the space where I've been building for a long time what we could call a home. Yes, a home. Which is not the same as building a house.

Es también obvio que no ha de haber tampoco ningún problema con eso. A través de la historia hemos sido testigos, adecuadamente informados y somos bien conscientes de las mútiples guerras, invasiones, ocupaciones, tomas hostiles, saqueos, desterramientos, desplazamiento y exterminio de la población y ocupantes originarios del territorio que ahora y hoy en día ha sido ilegítimamente ocupado y que ha venido ocurriendo a lo largo de los siglos en toda la geografía del planeta.

Pero que yo, que no tengo alma de inmigrante ni aventurero y que de paso ya estoy muy viejo como para estar corriendo o huyendo de un lado al otro.

Nunca ha estado en mi naturaleza abandonar demasiado pronto, de golpe y porrazo, el espacio en donde desde largo tiempo he venido construyendo lo que podríamos llamar un hogar. Sí, un hogar. Que no es lo mismo que construir una casa.

Scarcely four days ago, I wrote a post, (yes, one of those articles in my usual cryptic style) in which I celebrated my fourth anniversary on the Steem blockchain. That's right infants. Four odd full years building shit over here and over there almost daily.

And although my activity never took me very far financially, you can still see me here. Right? Indeed, I am one of those fuckers you could call 'early adopters' since my Steem member ID not even surpass the five figures.

I am the user number 51,069 on the Steem blockchain. And after four long years achieving a reputation in a natural, organic way and without foreign or external influences of any kind, of barely 68.020, I was still waiting to reach the libidinous and lustful figure of 69 in my more than crystal clear clean reputation. Yeah! I'm still sexy, but I understand that this could no longer be a viable goal. At least not with what I see happening today.

So, seen the seen "69" (¿sixty nine?) No Thanks! that easily would take me another four fuckin years to even get close. Who the hell has time for that?

Escasamente hace apenas cuatro días atrás, escribí un post, (sí, uno de esos artículos en mi acostumbrado estilo críptico) en el cual celebraba mi cuarto aniversario en la Steem blockchain. Eso es correcto, párvulos. Cuatro bizarros años completos construyendo güevonadas por aquí y por allá casi a diario.

Y que aunque mi actividad no me llevó nunca muy lejos financieramente, pues aquí pueden verme todavía. Correcto? En efecto, soy uno de esos jodedores a los que podrías llamar 'adoptadores tempranos' ya que mi ID de miembro de Steem ni siquiera supera las cinco cifras.

Soy de hecho el usuario número 51.069 en la cadena de bloques de Steem. Y luego de cuatro largos años alcanzando una reputación de forma natural, orgánica y sin influencias ajenas o externas de ningún tipo, de apenas 68.020, aún seguía expectante de alcanzar la figura libidinosa y lujuriosa de 69 en mi más que nítida y limpia re'puta'ción. ¡Si! sigo siendo sexy, pero entiendo que éste ahora ya no podría ser un objetivo viable. Al menos no con lo que veo que está sucediendo hoy.

Así, que visto lo visto "69' (¿sesentinueve?) No gracias! eso fácilmente me tomaría otros jodidos cuatro años para siquiera acercarme. Quien carajo tiene ya tiempo para eso?

I suspect that on this subject, you already imagine that I still have a lot more to say. But certainly even if you don't believe me, I'm not as sadistic as some think I am. By which I also prefer not to bore you unnecessarily.

Yes, I admit and confess that sometimes I am a bit of a loose mouth and I don't go around the bush to say the things that no one else dares to say.

Which obviously has not made me or makes me a very popular or appreciated author for denouncing and telling things as they are.

Especially when it comes to winning the favor of the affluent and opulents. That with their positive or negative vote, they are the ones who generally arbitrarily and with impunity establish that funny little number that we usually call reputation in these parts of the digital society.

Sospecho que sobre éste tema, ya imaginarán que todavía tendría mucho mas que decir. Pero ciertamente aunque no me crean, no soy tan sádico como algunos creen que soy. Por lo que también prefiero no aburrirte innecesariamente.

Sí, admito y confieso que a veces soy un poco boca suelta y no ando con rodeos para decir las cosas que nadie mas se atreve a decir.

Lo que evidentemente no me ha hecho ni me hace un autor muy popular ni apreciado por denunciar y decir las cosas como son.

Especialmente si se trata de ganar el favor de los opulentos. Que con su voto positivo o negativo, son los que generalmente establecen arbitraria e impunemente ese gracioso numerito que solemos llamar por estos lares re'puta'ción en esta sociedad digital.

And well, as I see that this spiel has become too long already. Now let me just finish it with one of my often usual, famous and eloquent Abstract Aural Bits. Yeah, only and specifically to precisely highlight the varied nuances and differences between build a home and merely build a house.

«-'Abstract Aural Bit'-»

And yes, who knows. Maybe and I can still encourage myself later and say and write here what still remained in the inkwell.

Y bueno, como veo que esta perorata como que se ha hecho ya demasiado larga. Ahora solo permíteme culminarla con solo uno de mis a menudo acostumbrados, famosos y elocuentes Abstract Aural Bits. Sí, únicamente y específicamente para precísamente destacar los variados matices y diferencias entre construir un hogar y construir simplemente una casa.

«-'Abstract Aural Bit'-»

Y sí, quién sabe. A lo mejor y me anime mas adelante y todavía diga y escriba aquí lo que obviamente se me quedó aún en el tintero.

I think Steem's fine and I think it will continue to do fine for the foreseeable future.

In fact I think Hive is in big problem as more and more people wake up to the toxicity that's going on in some corners of it.

I think Steem's fine and I think it will continue to do fine for the foreseeable future.

That could very well be true. But I, who have already seen much more than most here and who have already walked the tightrope many times back and forth always keeping my balance, I am beginning to have my doubts. };)

In fact I think Hive is in big problem as more and more people wake up to the toxicity that's going on in some corners of it.

If you actually achieve to really wake up, quickly you will notice that there is toxicity everywhere. And of course, Hive is not the exception.

Thank you very much for your well appreciated comment. :)

that's also my opinion

Dear @por500bolos

Finally I've found some time to catch up and read few previously bookmarked posts.

My impression about Steemit is quite different. There is less traffic, but users that are still around are more of a value comparing to the past.

It's also clear to me, that STINC (under Justin sun) has been pushing hard to build engagement and connect with Steemit users. Just check out @steemitblog.

ps. it's very difficult and a bit discouraging to read your post, where I need to scroll seeking for any part that is written in english.
wouldn't it be better (for readers) to write in english and then spanish (or the other way around)? I tried to read entire post the way you wrote it, but I simply couldn't make it.

Solid read. Upvoted already.
Yours, Piotr
