RE: If we want Steemit mass adoption we should let go of platform romanticism
hierarchy and competition is much more appealing to the mass Consciousness as of yet than equality.
Sadly, true. We are fortunate to have so many of us here so early. And honestly, those who come later will also be fortunate we were some of the seeders. More conscious folks have some influence on the platform, even as it evolves, is always going to be a good thing.
Yes, opting for Love and Unity is the way to go, but sometimes we might become a bit reactive and unaccepting toward people who are still clinging to their ego consciousness. By strictly saying "we don't want that here" we are basically exercising unacceptance and power play on a higher level. We don't need to change others, but again, only balance ourselves. When somebody really displays rude behavior in their post, for example, then those writing "do-gooder comments" and complaining about that unruly behavior are actually the ones who amplify the power of the negativity spread by giving the poster exactly that attention they wanted. If nobody commented the "rude poster" would quickly become bored, so I believe. Too quickly we take things personally.
Very true. Fortunately I don't see a lot of that firsthand, but I hear about it secondhand quite a bit. The platform seems to be engaged in a self-definition phase. Everyone is trying to define what they think this place is supposed to be, sometimes defining that by what they think it is not supposed to be. Meanwhile, it is what it is. LOL
Haha, THAT would be a good start. Accepting the platform for what it is instead of placing it into boxes all the time.
