RE: SBD, What’s going on …
and @eroch - I'm new to all of this (well joined in August, but back at it due to being too busy elsewhere all Autumn but having just read the white paper, it seems pretty clear that 'community' is second and making money is the primary goal of the platform - I think the 'crab bucket analogy' sums up the authors' view of collectivism and there's also a base assumption that high levels of inequality are natural, and that this is good because it taps into people's desire to want more and keeps them posting.
My sneaky suspicion is that this platform is working just as its creators intended.
However, I'm also finding it quite conducive to meeting some nice people and hopefully community will out in the end!
That is an interesting perspective @revisesociology
Whatever the reasons and motivations there is a nice community here and it is something that is evolving on a daily basis. I am happy to be on the journey and looking forward to the road ahead. Nice to meet you by the way.
There are lot of well-meaning people on here and I'm trying to blinker myself to all of the economic injustice, the problem is the economics + the anonymity are a ticking time bomb - think of the damage one malicious billionaire could do!
While people with influence on here seem to be focusing on expansion and innovation before sorting the basics out (I believe there's a 'code first' mentality)
Then again that's the problem with economic justice I guess - Much like the man himself, Karl Marx, it ain't that sexy.
Nice to meet you too, happy new 2018!
But his beard is so magnificent! Oh, and I see yours is, too! Bearded, sexy socialists unite! (and we shall wrest Steem from the grip of the Steem millionaires somehow.)
