The Welcome Party of Steemit and STEEM Blockchain
Ah, Steemit is such a warm place.
Whenever a new dApp shows up, everyone opens their arms and says, “Welcome.”
Of course, that welcome comes with… very special conditions.
Condition 1. Criticism Is Forbidden
The moment you point out a problem, the welcome ends.
Here, chasing away the critic is far more efficient than solving the issue itself.
Efficient indeed—because soon, nobody is left. 😂
Condition 2. STEEM Must Never Be Sold
Selling STEEM? That makes you a traitor.
Funny, isn’t it?
Projects have costs—servers, staff, marketing. None of it comes for free.
To survive, dApps must sell some STEEM.
But in this community, even this simple reality is a taboo.
So the message is clear: “Run your project, spend your own money, but don’t you dare touch STEEM.”
Condition 3. Only the ‘Approved’ dApps Are Welcome
A new dApp? Sure, welcome—
as long as it fits our standards.
Anything slightly different is labeled “useless.”
It’s not a welcome. It’s taming.
Expression Over Results
On Steemit, what matters most is not the result, but the appearance of effort.
Actual achievements weigh less than eloquent posts and polished self-promotion.
Build a real service, show data, operate transparently—it won’t be recognized.
But resist change while repeating “We’re working hard,” and applause will follow.
No results needed—words are enough.
Real Solutions, Rejected
Even when solutions are offered, they go ignored.
Imagine integrating something like Galxe with Steemit’s curator system—
building community, attracting outside capital, strengthening the ecosystem.
Elsewhere, that’s considered progress.
Here? Too troublesome.
It’s always easier to silence critics and reject change.
Conclusion
The welcome of Steemit is not real freedom.
It is conditional, and the conditions shift depending on the mood of the community.
What remains is simple:
- A safe zone where criticism cannot exist.
- A coin that must never be sold.
- A culture that praises effort only when it’s staged.
- And an ecosystem that shuts out real growth.
The beautifully wrapped truth is this:
“Conditional welcome, unlimited control.”
WOW!
You find somebody else's input "entertaining" rather than an opportunity for you to improve.
Greetings @roadofrich
It's important that you know what to do with any criticism or comments you receive.
The purpose of using a Booming account is to promote the growth of the community interested in developing good activity on Steemit. This means:
Therefore, no Booming account or Steemcurator can support any activity that undermines the culture of well-being that the Steemitblog team seeks to develop on the platform.
You could easily stop applying to be a curator if you don't want to foster this culture in the Cryptid Hunted player community. But the idea is to contribute, not detract, from efforts to create a better environment on Steemit.
We won’t be applying for the curator program next month,
because we’re transitioning into a DAO system.
In the meantime, we’ve brought in a significant number of new users—
and many of them are still active, still experiencing Steemit for the first time.
On top of that, three KOLs have joined as well.
This isn’t just a statistic; it’s a real achievement.
And yet, the Steemit community seems strangely uninterested in these results.
Instead of recognizing achievements, it prefers to focus on criticism,
more comfortable with blame and trolling than with progress.
The old habit remains alive and well:
“It’s faster to chase away the critic than to solve the problem.”
So the question becomes unavoidable.
If results bring no recognition, only criticism,
is there really any reason to stay?
Or perhaps this place has always wanted silence instead of results.
Criticism will always be there; it's a matter of approach and how you handle each one.
My comment is limited to the observation related to the case of the repetitive posts you mentioned, and the use of Booming votes.
I always wish success to those who promote activities that benefit the platform.
