When I said get out of the community I meant we spend a huge amount of time focusing on things that only matter to the few people who are already here.

Ah, gotcha. A lot of the things I look at are pertinent to the world outside Steem too, so I guess I didn't think of that. A couple of the communities are very much for extending outside of Steem. After all, we're not going to have a very useful currency in Steem if it can't be widely used. The blockchain is a good repository for information which can't just get deleted like it does on Facebook.

Also I am and have always been an advocate of casual posts.

Are these the ones getting shot down? I've always enjoyed a post that gets a conversation going and those often are casual ones, so I get the need for them. This is the point where I say downvoting isn't needed. If you don't think the post deserves a vote, don't give it one, but if others have decided it was worth one, then that shouldn't be taken away from them.

There are always going to be opinions, though.
