Do you think that this SteemSTEM will not go anywhere? :P LOL @justineh. Do you think that this system will not go anywhere? : P, I think you do not have the slightest idea of what the SteemSTEM project has been doing for 3 years. The reason that our standards are high, is because we do not want to fill the block chain with trash and create a serious place where all people can have fun talking and writing about science. ;)
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
STEM is not just “Science” btw, you guys keep saying that and you are missing 3 other very important aspects to the initiative. So if SteemStem focuses on Science, awesome.. looks like this StemGeeks project is focusing on ALL aspects of the STEM initiative.
Hi @justineh. Just to clarify (once again, but I think it is necessary to make things clear). We do not solely focus on science, but on all STEM fields. All.
What we actually support depends on several aspects:
Our goal is really to bring STEM people (working on STEM) to communicate on Steem about what they do. This is different than bringing people who like STEM and may repeat what they find elsewhere on Steem.
IMO, the SteemSTEM goal can bring value to Steem. This goal is on the long term side, in particular as we need a product to attract them. And for now we do not have such a product. We are lacking a dev to design it as fast as it should.
Now saying that we are not going anywhere is very rude and not really constructive. Do you mind clarifying? Also, we are happy to listen to people who can help us. But again, saying "we are not going anywhere" is not very helpful... I can really feel some bad sentiments against us in your answer, and I would like to understand why. Have we done something that hurt you?
Finally, mentioning that we have a lot of support is probably very misleading. We have some support, this is true. But this is by far not what could be called a lot. This support for instance does not allow us to hire a dev, which is what we need most at the moment. Therefore, we do things ourselves. But this is slow.
That is an interesting thing and maybe @mobbs may want to comment this on. On my side, I ask you: what could this place be? Please tell me why, as a STEM teacher, I should come to Steem? I believe that if STEM workers are around, this could make the difference (wrt all other existing options).
This being said, I am currently developing a curation tool for SteemSTEM that will have to focus and find community members more easily (especially as @themarkymark trigs something in me). But this will take some time (most probably a coupel of weeks). As I said, I am not a dev and only become one because we had no one to play that role.
PS: It is a long text and I apologize for that. This is also probably a discussion to have face to face (i.e. through a chat). Feel free to drop me a message if you want to continue discussing. We are sharing many common servers ;)
The term not going anywhere typically means it will be around for a long time. It is not a negative response but a positive.
Thanks for clarifying. I am not a native English speaking and I understood it differently :)
Science encompasses a very broad group from physics, chemistry, mathematics, to social sciences and education
many areas, not just the pure sciences
Are you just repeating what people say in question form and then adding “LOL”? 🤔
because it makes me laugh what you say :D
Oh i see, you are editing after and a part of SteemStem so you see this project as a threat.
Pretty sure SteemStem didn’t invent the STEM idea and different projects are always great.
I’m very aware of what SteemStem has been doing the last three years and am excited for this new project to the Steem ecosystem.
I do not consider it a threat because it is part of the STEEM blockchain, the more projects are created better for all STEEM holders, because the idea is to recover, right?
It just made me laugh that you mentioned that the SteemSTEM project is not going anywhere, but quite the opposite.
We agree then! I think more projects are great for Steem.
I think you misunderstood what I said. When I said steemstem wasn’t going anywhere, I meant they would be sticking around and continuing their project. As in - having more STEM projects would not have a negative impact on SteemStem, as they were here to stay.
This comment tree was hilarious.
Oh better you made that point clear! I think it was just a misunderstanding ;)
Yeah right, stem will drop like a rock! It may even die way before anything. It is just turnkey rubbish stuff, anything marky could touch will die!
These tokens are not really a part of the steem block chain. When steem engine goes down, the top db layer is shut off, the transactions don't work because they are fake! Seriously It is a horrible lie! Stay away from tokens, keep your steem! or buy BTC!
and I am very aware that SteemSTEm did not invent the STEM idea, I did not say otherwise
and I ask you again the question: do you think SteemSTEM will not go anywhere?
