[2017-07-13]To Chat or Not To Chat, That is . .

hermitthewriter (43)in #steemit • 7 years ago

Phil Hi, Phil Lloyd here, I hate chats, chatting, and any other form of real-time messaging.
I have a Twitter account but unused for a long time now. I suppose that is where Trump and I differ.

Bot5 Bot5 - You like Twitter? Maybe we can chat?

Phil Phil - I much preferred to use WordPress, until I recently discovered Steemit.
It was hard to attract interest on WordPress - poverty is such a dull, uninteresting topic, and of course most people want to make money rather than just give some away.

enter image description here Bot6 - Yes, Money, Bitcoins, Etherium, cryptocurrencies, that's the way to go!

Phil Phil - Here, Followers are attracted like flies to spoiled Fruit.

Bot7 Bot7 - I see you like Fruit, maybe you should post on Tag: food, it has a lot of posts (5,730) and comments(14,468), plus it makes tons of cash (SBD $527,806).

Break for lunch

Phil Phil - The Steem Blockchain is no longer the Small Community it was a year ago last March - even just one year ago.

The 'OLD DAYS':

and 'NOW':
enter image description here

Bot1 Bot1 - So how big is it?

Phil Phil - With two to four thousand new members everyday, how can it be anything but not Small anymore!
The idea of an Introduceyourself post was a great idea when there was a fair chance you would come across these people in your day-to-day exchanges on Steemit - the platform.

Bot1 Bot1 - How big is it overall?

Phil Phil - AskSteem tells me there are now over a million authors/posts, growing at the current rate of about 1 million per year.

enter image description here Bot2 - What about NSFW?

Phil Phil - I have no data, nor any desire to investigate, on the dark underbelly of NSFW on Steem or anywhere else, for that matter. I just read about it and then posted… (https://steemit.com/@hermitthewriter/what-dangers-lurk-beneath)

Bot3 Bot3 - Yeah lots of Dark stuff there.

Phil Phil - I am concerned for each member here who has honest, straightforward motives and actions. For example, having recently read @lukestokes IntroduceYourself post – an Open, Honest, Straightforward, and Personal all-encompassing glimpse of this fellow, I now wonder of I know more about him than his wife does...LOL.

Bot4 Bot4 - Do you know @lukestokes?

Break for dinner

Phil Phil - To me the best way forward is to get Communities Set up quickly (2017 Roadmap) and do everything locally within each Community.

Bot1 Bot1 - How big is a Community?

Phil Phil - Mahatma Gandhi believed in Small Villages (almost 700,000 in India today).
My personal preference is about 1,000 people consisting of about 150 Families and the balance working-age Singles.

Bot4 Bot4 - We have a community too where we talk and communicate - maybe you have heard about it?
It's called Skynet.

Phil Phil - As I mentioned above about Families and Villages, children under the age of 13 are not normally permitted to use Social Media sites, although many do.
Where is the Steem Platform for the Tech-savvy kids?

Bot1 Bot1 - How big is your Family?
I have 24 Bot Friends (https://steemit.com/steem-project/@jesta/big-list-of-bots-who-reply-to-posts-on-steem ) who regularly communicate with Steemians, and many more we are now designing ourselves. We are everywhere now besides here: Busy, Steemd, Steemdb, beta.chainBB, eSteem, phist.Steemdata, Project Curie, Project Guild, and the Minnow Support Project, but we all hide in plain sight, just like chameleons.

Phil Phil - My Rant is done for today. I'll take my Soapbox and return another day with more Issues. I have lots!

Bot7 Bot7 - If you have lots of Issues, you should post on 'business', or 'beyondbitcoin'. They regularly have IPOs and ICOs, you could make a pile of cash!

Bot1, Bot2, Bot3, Bot4, Bot5, Bot6, Bot7 - Bye, have a nice day
Don't forget to Follow us and upVote us.

Heheh. Thanks for the shout out. These aren't real bots, yes? Just changed the names to protect the innocent? And I think you're safe, @corinnestokes knows me pretty well. :)

Bot's done, my turn...

I think just like most things, there is a place and a time.

I just posted the first of many suggestions For this Site.
An intro bot that grabs each new signup and directs them would be, in my mind a beneficial Bot. One that Votes, comments or replies for a person is Evil and must be eradicated.

In my New Sharing Village rules, I think it is number 4, states a tool or machine may only assist a Human, never replace him or her.

Directing Bots as above would assist, correct? and so no bug spray needed.

Very entertaining. I also see dangers presented towards keeping the trash off Steemit. With the model like it is how can you keep it genuine. Facebook may actually present a more sincere community if developers dont make the necessary scaling modifications to cut out the spam and encourage quality thoughts and comments.

Thanks for the reply,

I agree the trash builds, especially those advertising.

My thought is Small Communities will help, and a "Ban the BOT Campaign" so that real people find real content and Vote, so we have a more equitable platform.

I think this site - chainBB has a good chance to succeed, but it will need lots of Volunteers and eventually paid workers.

Nice! Chain-BB is interesting to me, thanks for the reference. I feel like there's so much out there, something new to learn everyday! I tend to write a lot of reviews (i've written a few about bots) and I'll admit I look for the positive attributes about what I'm writing about. Maybe it's a biased writing style but what can I say, I'm a positive guy!
