One and not only one of the bad things about this communities feature is added complication.
Steemit as is now is too complicated for new users to master.
There are far more urgent changes that need to be done, some of which are related to this miniscule attention window span that new content by less than celebrity status publishers gets.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Communities will solve a lot more than that. They will give users a better way to navigate content that is tailored to their individual needs.
What are some of the other changes that you consider important?
This is what tags and searches are for.
The other changes? In my past and future content, quite a bit in the past part.
I thought you were already familiar with them.
The problem with tags, they tend to be misused or abused.
So do like timcliff does and fight this abuse.
Once moderators are installed, I expect abuse by some of them.
I may be surprised, but it is a matter of time until such abuse will happen too.
I suppose moderators would be chosen based on reputation and trust. The details will be filled with interesting twists. I propose the mods be elected like witnesses.
In specialized matters, where expertise matters, democracy and meritocracy may be worse than pure technocracy, which can yield bad results too.
There needs to be some initial board of electors to elect those worthy and deserving of having a right to elect, which is an oxymoron and recursive.
These are governance issues.
