RE: An Open Freewrite Letter To The "Doers" Of Steem | From The Token "Kindergarten Teacher"
If people would stand behind you id back that.. I dont know anyone here that has done so much for Steem, with so little....
But we talked about this plenty... The STEEM social dynamics are in the way.
We all have limited time per day to deal with crypto and Steem so the question placed in front of people is: what is the best way to spend your time?
- Do i go out and apostolize for STEEM or
- Do i spend time analyzing behavior on Steem and use that knowledge (in any way possible) to propel myself forward.
What is "best for me?".. Clearly its no2. And if youre good at it, you can get far.
On other blockchains people arent so closed off from the rest of the crypto world like we are here because it doesnt pay to become a "social media master" in the way it does here.
Being good at that aspect, supporting another blockchain, you will eventually attract more people...
Being good at that aspect on STEEM and focusing only on internal social dynamics and how to attract attention leads to nothing but your own personal benefit...
Thats why i called out community leaders. Not because i think communities are useless (i think absolutely the polar opposite) but because community leaders, or "faces" (as you call them) have completely disregarded the potential they have in front of them and/or misuse it.
Instead of pushing towards external action, they simply.... use that potential to solidify their own positions and boost their own influence and authority on the blockchain.
That is why i call some of these communities kindergartens.. Community leaders treating their members like children and playing childrens games when those folks could move mountains...
But great post. hehe
Sneaky, but great. :D
Oh and, i "yell" because i care. Still. haha
I know you care, if you didn’t you would just collect your money and leave.. you, like many here, just let your frustrations get in the way of open communication.
So, I’ll play mediator.. and totally be the kindergarten teacher you need to connect to others who want the same thing.. the success of Steem.
As I told you privately, I get your point, but I think you are completely missing the point of communities. I’ll agree, many leaders here are only worried about making money for themselves as well as a name for themselves.. but hey, don’t blanket us all together!
Speak your mind, call people out, but do it a way that opens up communications rather than shutting the door on it. I know you care.. just.. don’t be a dick and people will hear you more 😄
Come be part of the solution....or you can just keep on trolling...
No hate from me, and I’m stealing your insult and running with it 😝
I stand behind this btw ;)
Haha. Well we live in different worlds of thought and im sure we will never agree. :D. Its not really frustrations as it is giving up on pandering.
I can shitpost for a month and make a post that will grab attention easily. Now, i could write the exact same post, make the exact same arguments in a pandering, "respective" way and get ignored, but i could "yell" and pump the post with silly tricks to get heard what i wanted to say but.... in the end seen as a fringe character. And @nonameslefttouse was pretty much right. haha
Question is: "What will get the points across most effectively?"... No minds will change if they werent going to get changed anyway, they never do, no matter how you frame it or present it. Those called out never take kindly to criticism of any kind.
Present it mildly and you get mildly ignored and maybe score a few points.
Punch hard and they might feel it.
Consider i could have made the same arguments in a different way.
Its pretty simple how it works here. Its only about what your end game is. Do you care about your reputation and influence here or do you care about the success of STEEM?
Unfortunately those two things are often in conflict.
hehe. And id never blanket you with those other guys. As i told you.. Youre me 6 months ago. haha.
I wonder though that Steem (the blockchain) doesn’t have the added ( and I would argue, very typically human) complexity of being social in its purpose.
I — and many others like me — would really like to know what can we do and how can we do it?
How do we link the Users with the Techies? How do we link the creatives to the people who can build the structures? How do we link the entrepreneurs, investors, and people who believe in the vision and are willing to push it?

Communication is definitely something I think we are lacking in heavily.. and yes I think there is a disconnect between the two groups. I’m hoping in this time that we all need to pull together to be successful maybe we can break through that barrier. I hope
