RE: 💬 Expanding the boundaries of community coordination and online discussion

in WORLD OF XPILAR3 years ago

In previous weeks or months I committed myself to making a lot of comments on posts around different communities responding to comments to make it as interactive for me as possible. Firstly I used to enjoy it a lot cause I knew those who will reply me to make the conversation interesting.

You were one of them and I generally like responding to your posts cause you will by all means come back and reply and then I reply so that it becomes interesting. But part from you and then a few people I know personally, it seems then whole steemit community is scared of replying to comments; I don’t know if they don’t want their posts to be filled with a lot of comments or not. Because I sometimes make close to 15 or 20 comments on posts per day but I can only get 5 or 7 replies on those comments I make and I can promise you that 50% of these replies will be thank you.

Sometimes you can even ask a question in your comment but the users would generally ignore it or will not answer it. This days I’ve lost interest on even commenting in my friends posts because even though I know them personally off of steemit they still make it boring cause they also reply you by saying thank you.

For me the reason why most people loose interest in commenting and going through people posts is that they do not get the same energy that they give back and it’s sometimes really hurtful and annoying. Some don’t reply to your posts but they still tag you in there posts. The annoying past about all this is that they tag you to come and comment and vote and then when you comment and vote they inturn reply you by saying thank you and they do not even show the same energy on your posts.

I remember so communities saying they will pay more attention to users who make comments and take time to read others posts but trust me that doesn’t work, I have even realised that is those that do not participate in these things that get the most support on the platform or in those communities.

I'll always do my best to reply - I know how frustrating it can be when you take the time to read a post, comment on it and then get completely ignored.

We're going to launch a new initiative in WOX starting tomorrow which will hopefully encourage more engagement - I hope it does work (the moderators have about 350,000 combined voting power so it should get some attention) as we'll be increasing the visibility of users to comment on others posts in the hope that they'll get read and upvoted more. We'll wait and see - a lot of thought's gone into it so I really hope it works!

I think this initiative will go a long way and help users on the platform. Then this initiative will even make me visit the WOX community more to participate in this initiative.

🤞 Fingers crossed.
