RE: Setting Group Goals for Steem
Definitely Retention rate. Active accounts/total nr of accounts.
Also interesting to have a metric to measure engagement, but I am still thinking about which parameters to look in.
number of average comments per post maybe?
More like the number of real human comments. Nowadays the number of average comments is around 3, but most of these comments are bot and/or spam (or spam-like) comments, which is sad. The users should really focus on engagement instead of just posting their own blog posts.
The Steem blockchain nowadays feels like a ghost town, which is not going to attract new active users, and the number of the remaining active users will only keep decreasing. I know it is ridiculous, but there is something called "proof of engagement contest". A contest about engagement. On a social media platform. I think that if a contest is needed to interact with each other on a social media platform, then that is a long lost story.
You seem to think it is dead, but here we are two humans having a real conversation.
It's depressed, we've been through a depression a mad rage of dumb downvote teams, a hardfork that favored stakeholders. Morale is low. I don't deny any of that.
So, now what? Do we quit, throw in the towel? Or work to get it back on track?
I hope for the latter (work to get it back on track), but I am not sure about the rest of the users. To be honest, I already left the Steem blockchain a few times because of my disappointment in the platform (or rather in the behavior of the majority of the users), but I always returned to the Steem blockchain so far. We are (only) two humans, but the rest of the users are many. You know the saying, "one swallow does not make a summer". The rest of the users should do the same (interact with each other).
I choose to focus on what I can control (me) and attempt to provide some positive feedback. (influence)
I don't know if Steem will work or not, but I can't change others, so I don't focus on it. (very often, as a goal that I fail at sometimes.. ) I'm being funny.
