Impressive post @practicalthought I really enjoy your open and truthfull words about our Role here on Steemit.
I truely agree with you that everybody here on Steemit should take their chance to be part of this great social and economical project. Steemit has so many "not optimal issues" which we as User can understand as chances to improve our communities. And yes we will find also support from the developerteam around @ned. When the implementation of hivemind (communities), Hardfork 20 and SMT are here we are going to find a totally different enviroment.
Dedicated community moderators will be able to ban spammers, bots and rude social engagement in their own communities. We just have to stay focused on the things we like to talk about and create good thoughtfull posts to spread as much knowledge as possible.
Freedom is on its way we just have to go along with it. Up&Fl.
I am still ignorant of how the communities and SMT will work on the structure here. One thing I am hopeful of is it will allow more interaction that everyone seems to go to Discord to do.
Exactly. Water rises to its own level and those who are true to their heart will find others who are the same if they are patient. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the direction of the platform. I will need to look into how it will impact everything.
