RE: Its time to clean up the Steemit subreddit!

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)

This is quite a positive development. I have only a few thoughts.

All regular self-promotional steemit links should automatically go in the recycle bin. Only allow steemit links if they involve reddit-facing activities and are clearly in everyone's best interests.

You'd get a lot of users, but not many more investors, if steemit was made known to users of /r/beermoney.

There needs to be a much more comprehensive and informative FAQ, new user guide, and wiki which all would have to be custom-made and filled out than the stuff already on the sidebar.

Curation groups, apps, and discords for communities should be rolled into one sidebar entry.

Be wary of having too many different types of daily threads, it could potentially make some of them seem like ghost towns if daily activity for certain things aren't as high as others, might be better to consolidate so they seem a bit more active.

Also, I noticed that you have a dolphin flair, such things might be attractive to future potential investors in steemit, sure, but right now class issues are kind of a hot-button topic on reddit and within the youth population the world over so it might be better to just have humorous/clowny tags instead.

One thing I just remembered, there was a lot of controversy over some subs getting shut down over the new website legislation in the US as well as some bartering/trading/advertising activity getting banned as well on reddit, I don't know why I'm mentioning this because steemit is run by a US company so they probably would want to avoid the same stuff.

Sort:  

Personally I vote we attempt to go the route that /r/wallstreetbets went, just go full-retard and we have a better chance of ranking on the frontpage. Steemit needs more vibrant energy and less stogy old people smell.

lol that would be funny to see but that would give even bad rep about steem then it is now. :(

Nah, imo our main problem atm is that everyone is way too fucking serious rofl. No one under 40 wants to use this shit when you can just go to reddit/twitter/ig/whatever for lulz. Social media should be a relief from work not a replication of it, at least for the average user.

Well if you get flagged and excused of reward rape of doing a "shit post" aka a post you would do on reddit/facebook well you won't use steemit at all. Steemit won't be for the average user but SMT might fix that by creating social networks like facebook where you can semi-shit post without getting flagged

Yeah, if I made a community it would definitely be shitpost friendly. Takes a shitter to know a shitter.
