RE: How to post in a Steemit Community - for example Project.hope

in Project HOPE5 years ago

Interesting thoughts. Before I address some of them, I'll like to say a big thank to @focusnow for such a clarifying post on steem communities. I belong to the @ocd community and fount it cumbersome to post directly from the beta.steemit\ page. I remember not being able to submit a post on the community site but easily submitted it at the main site.
About the points you raise regarding communities, I'll respond individually.
a) There are pros and cons to "whitelisting". For example, who decides a post is worth being seen by community members? Personally, I'll prefer using steemit's downvoting mechanism to rid off spam.

b)This will be quite unfair. Most people have multiple interests and might choose to post about several aspects of their lives in several mediums. Do this is almost equivalent to saying because you have a facebook account, then you should not have a linkedIn account. See the problem?

c) I totally agree with you on this one! The challenge will be linking the blockchain ID with the names we come up with. Can be done but I hardly see the incentive.

Overall, great post by @focusnow and great discussion you've started here @crypto.piotr. I'm hoping we'll hear other opinions.

Thanks @aiplusfinance for stopping by. I noticed that some like me do not know how to post in the communities they belong. SO i made this post. On the issues raised:
a. Yes, i partly believe that since communities are united by passion and interest, it will be easy to deal with any spammers together. Then again, If there are community founders and moderators, and whitelisting is possible, then I believe the admin should be responsible for allowing or not allowing certain individuals to post.

b. Yes, definitely, we should be allowed to belong to several communities. We have more than one hobby or interest.

c. Using real names that represent the communities is the sensible thing to do.

It's me again @aiplusfinance

I've just realized that I never actually thanked you for your comment. Big thx.

ps.
I would need to ask you for little favour. Recently I've decided to join small contest called "Community of the week" and I desribed our project.hope hive/community. Would you mind helping me out and RESTEEM this post - just to get some extra exposure? Your valuable comment would be also appreciated.

Link to my post: on steemit or on steempeak

Thanks :)
Yours, Piotr
