Team Europe and some other stuff
No, nope, that isn't a salutary creative group portrait of the new "Team Europe", although, I admit, these pictures below I have made in Europe! :)
In particular, at the beautiful mountain of Rhodope in Bulgaria.
Perhaps you've noticed, but I was a bit busier lately, with some reconstruction work in progress in our house and also some necessary trips.
Today, returning to Steemit for some proper time, I was thrilled to read about the new Team Europe (read more here: https://steemit.com/hive-128129/@chriddi/team-europe-is-ready )
Kudos for the the decision of the Steemit Team to discontinue the “Steem Representatives” and "Booming" projects, although, looking in the corresponding community, it doesn't feel this was fully executed, if at all.
In the long run, I truly believe, this is great news for STEEM, as this change will bring more diversity on the blockchain and probably new people from new countries.
I have to admit I was never in favour of focusing the Steemit Team support on particular groups of people from certain regions of the world, as this generally tell all other bloggers, their creative works are of less value (given the much smaller rewards they get). Then, in turn, with time, such bloggers loose interest to share their best works.
I foresee a better future for STEEM as of now. I hope these plans make changes in the positive way.
I am also looking forward for a lively "STEEM Europe" community, moderated and curated by that same Team Europe and perhaps more people will join ;) :)
If/when it appears, I'll be supporting and curating the content there, with pleasure :)
Let's turn to photography now ;)

Thank you for promoting our team. I'm really excited about your enthusiasm - I'm starting to think our project is pretty good myself... 😂
The boys and I haven't been selected yet. Assuming that our application is successful (the many positive responses don't really suggest otherwise...), let's first work in peace and get to grips with the chaos that will probably ensue at first... 😉
Then we can think and talk together about the "Community STEEM Europe" project (and also some concerns that I personally have about it).
Step by step ‘Make Europe great again!’... 🤪

I am absolutely sure this would be/is a great project already.
Chaos, especially in our creative "business" here, may be quite positive. Let's experiment, I expect mostly good outcomes from all of it.
BReturn is one of my favorite newest words, I'd love to work in that direction, avoiding politics on the road, if possible, LOL. I love the freedom we all had before brexit...

The news seems great, reblogging.

I saw an interesting comment earlier today, implying that if other "nations" did the same, whether it would be accepted. Which led me to think that maybe out of the 11 voting accounts, there's an account for each continent to focus on. I wouldn't like the idea of voting purely on European authors but it would give a greater sense of "fairness" (and also the existing, unspoken biases can be explicit).
Whatever happens, hopefully this shift will be noticeable, rather than the same people doing what they've always done under a different label.
