RE: Steemit Retrospective for June
I don't think that steemits user base exists in such solidity to form it self as community. It is too scattered and wide bunch of people. I think "communities update" is going to help make more clear who wants and what here. Currently it depends on post topic whetever steemit inc is going to be bashed or not. It is that those dissatisfied are most eager to leave comments overall.
There was one problem with communication though. The way that the EIP was originally represented could have been better. Rewards curve change was especially one that I think didn't go to well in terms of communication. It should have been mentioned from the beginning that the non-linear part was targeted to very low amounts of steem-power hodling accounts. That caused alot of angst by defenders and opposers of the "EIP".
I understand what you mean and that diversity is pretty special as well. I guess I think of it as we have this “Steem community” followed by all these sub communities that thrive as well.
The communities feature will really take this to a whole other level and help lift and empower communities of all types while giving them the tools they need to thrive. I really look forward to that and do think many issues will be solved when they are implemented.
Completely agree with you about the EIP aspects, many things were/are just not understood which leads to unneeded backlash and frustration.
Communication is actually pretty powerful and can have huge impacts on many things we don’t even consider.
