RE: Building Community on Steemit and the Physical Reality of Community Too!
I haven't heard of Baens Bar until now. Thanks for the comment. I suppose there are lots of communities--could you/would you call Facebook one too? FB is definitely not the community I feel building here on Steemit. So glad for the good-feel experienced here.
Baen's Bar is but a shadow of it's former self. There was also the Extropian Mailing List and ChatRooms in AOL. which developed a sense of community.
FaceBook...not so much. FaceBook exemplifies the saying that "if you don't pay, YOU are the product".
BlockChain is a whole nuther ball of wax. It has the potential to be compatable with human's mental hardwiring and possibly avoid the Iron Law or Rat Utopia
And Steemfest was another level of this community building. Meeting each other was magical. Truly I had not been in a room of so many happy people all at once except at the @gardenofeden in many, many years. It was an amazingly beautiful experience and everyone truly felt like family. A very powerful vortex. Community here is already happening very strongly. We are blessed.
