RE: Looking for like-minded people to create Steemit 2.0
This is great. In fact, it shows your entrepreneurial skills and tells us what you can do for the community and human race in general. Life itself is not static. We need to create something better than what we already have.
From this great read, I've discovered that you are looking for people who think in the same direction as you do. The Steemit community has created massive opportunities for us but we cannot turn a blind eye to its flaws.
Those that are using bidbots are abusing the system. You can hardly find great contents on the reputable trending pages. And for this, I think your idea is great. However, just as you made mention of, Steemit was also not like in the beginning. As more people joined, lots of unexpected things keep happening. That is one of the disadvantages of decentralized systems.
Seems your proposed system is not going to be totally decentralized, is it?
I'd love us to talk more about this probably on Discord.
Thanks for your respond, @teekingtv!
With regard to decentralization. In my opinion, there is no absolute decentralization. The plant grows from the root. The root is centralization. The sun is centralization. The problem is when the root rots, or when the Sun goes out.
I want to make the platform decentralized in the usual cryptocurrency sense. To make it impossible to close the server )) However, I want to ensure that the published content is of the best quality. To do this, it is necessary to moderate and evaluate it in internal ways. That is, with the help of editors, which can also be any member of the platform (no matter the author or not).
Ethereum is growing thanks to the Ethereum Foundation. And in this sense it is not decentralized. A similar situation occurs with bitcoin and any other project. There is a root - and it is difficult to decentralize it. However, the viability of the project on the Internet can be achieved through software decentralization, when a copy of the program is running on thousands and millions of computers. I certainly want to implement such decentralization.
