I've wanted to make some unconventional / slightly NSFW posts but I wasn't sure if it would be well-received here. The trending posts seem to be personal, heartwarming or something promoting steemit or spreading knowledge about the platform. I think these are well-deserved trending posts, but we may be falling to a pattern where diversity is constrained in a way. However I was glad to see posts like this making it to the top.

I'm glad you brought this up though, and I think I'm going to post without worrying about diverting from the trend, or worry about my posts not being well-received by the community. Since I myself welcome diversity, I know there will be a lot of like minded people who do as well, or at least some who appreciates my content.

Any plans for steemit to address this? How can we ensure topics or ideas we don't agree with are not excluded?

I think a part of it is to be able to find like minded posters and the type of content you enjoy reading/watching/discussing. The navigation isn't extremely intuitive, and most sections are improperly used or not specific enough. But once you find what you like, upvote, and hopefully diversity will naturally ensure.

I'm going to start posting in a brand new sections that maybe like-minded people will discover
