RE: Late to the party -- @mstafford response to survey.
100% agree on getting rewards to where they are deserved. Sharing is caring.
Thanks for the kind words -- though, you shouldn't heap too much praise on me, lest I feel comfortable enough to unleash the rest of my opinions (of which, I have many).
Thanks for using @exhaust -- I'm currently planning another rebuild before too long, to:
- leverage some more powerful features;
- clean up the many broken features;
- make things easier to use and more straight forward;
- make it easier to build an android (and later, iOS) application in tandem; and
- hopefully set up a HiveMind node for the project (and a few others that I have in mind).
I think we need some honesty around here. Steem is far from perfect. I hope Exhaust with work with communities eventually. It would be cool if we can post our workouts to one if people can mute that to avoid seeing them all. I have hopes for communities, but not using them too much yet. I created one for guitarists.
Honesty goes a long way, for sure, but I think most users are being honest(ish) already -- albeit a bit short-sighted and non-generous (as opposed to selfish or greedy, which I don't really think is the case with most users).
Definitely planning to integrate communities w/ Exhaust. And I'll be sure to check out the Guitarists one you've created -- because I like to pluck away from time to time myself!
Not entirely certain how communities will be received, but it seems like an organizational tool that makes sense. I've thought for a while that just having a raw feed of every post being made by people you follow is a bit overwhelming and messy -- definitely inhibits people from making as much use of each project, because they don't want to flood peoples feeds.
I can definitely picture browsing community-feeds rather than user-feeds as a way to move forward. "Follows" could become more like "subscriptions" where you get notified that people have posted, rather than just seeing all their stuff all the time.
At the end of the day though -- it's essentially just up to the project architect to decide how things are put together and presented. It's just that, right now, it seems like everyone seems to be leaning in the same direction and the original architecture put together by Steemit-inc (not saying it's bad -- just a first draft, with zero filtering).
