@ned I always wondered why people want to go hang out on discord to discuss things. I know steemit isn't the most nimble place in the world but if we want people to use the steem blockchain we need to hang out on it as much as possible and chat forumn style in the comments instead of building up the usership of things like discord and telegram.
Completely agree! Also looked like the Discord server required verifying a phone number to speak. Far from the decentralized permissionless vision of blockchain.
yeah, I mean for marketing purposes alone just hang out where you want to draw members. For SEO purposes that will rank the posts of steemians in google, time spent by visitors to a domain matters and so does engagement on the posts themselves. That will help steem posts rank in google not only get more eyeballs on the content but will lure content creators who want to rank in the search engines. Steemit has a PR 8 domain value and that is really powerful.
Damn bro... talking about SEO before it was mainstream.. you are a real one mah fucka!!
Dunno how I found this rabbit hole haha
lol. I've been doing SEO since before it was called SEO. 1998 ish I think. It changes constantly and I don't keep up like I should but some things just "work"
