RE: @curie has supported you - You might want to consider a witness vote!
Being able to vote for witnesses imo is fundamentally important aspect of community. Especially one that functions sustainably. It is up to individuals to get involved at this level. @beeyou has started an awesome initiative to help everyone understand and get involved with witnesses link
Personally, i see this content as valid information. Very much worthy of contemplation and consideration. No shaming here. Your life! Your choice. If you have been an @curie vote recipiant, congratulations!
Wishing all the best to you 🌸🌹🌸🌹
Maybe people aren't here for the overall community, but just to blog some content and enjoy their own mini community? They might not think about politics and not read the whitepaper. It is a sign that Steemit is growing as a platform beyond the early adaptors.
Therein lies the pickle!
My English isn't good enough to get what you exactly mean here ;) Is it a bad thing that people are not here for the community?
This is a good question @r00sj3! It is always your choice. But, i think beeyou probably answers that in her post better that i will. Though, if not for the steem platform there will be no community. So then, i feel personally to have our communities with the larger whole it is my due diligence to choose witnesses that can run the platform well. And, to me that makes me care who's on this list! If you like @curie votes they also are now in a tricky spot because they need delegations to do their usual voting. They've lost their place, as i understand, in ranks. Personally, i think it is an issue that there are so many steemians that have not taken time to vote for witnesses. But,learning and choosing witnesses does come with responsibility. Best to discuss it with other steemians you know and trust.
"It is your choice. But...." -> You know what they say about that, right?
For now, I'll leave it to the people that know better what is going on... I'd like to pick mine, but I just know too little atm. And to be honest, I have other things that need my attention more than a community that will continue without me anyway. That doesn't mean I don't care... it is just that timing isn't right.
When I make my pick, I want to be comfortable with my choice. I really appreciate what curie is doing, but there might be less "famous" witnesses that deserve a vote too. I don't know if there are witnesses focussing on the technical side of everything...That is how little I know. But that would be something I'd like to figure out before I make my pick.
I just don't like the pressure of "participating" in the community. Each to their own... Like mentioned multiple times before by others, people have their own reasons to behave&participate the way they do on steemit. Being dragged into this witness discussion just because my content gets rewarded and I haven't picked my witness yet wasn't what I was ready for. Good that you are so passionate about the platform and witnesses yourself... Just don't tell me that I should too, I become recalcitrant in that case.
Hi @yogajill. I appreciate your mention here. The few that do visit my blog are the friends I’ve made on here and I appreciate my new friend sharing my post link. ❤️
I completely agree with you. Everyone is welcomed to make their own witness decision. We should also understand the roles of a witness if we want this platform to succeed and only way we can do so together is to take the steps to learn about witnesses.
I am happy for everyone that received a curie upvote because their quality post deserved it. They shouldn’t feel that they have to vote for curie as a witness but I would hope many would pay it forward. Support the people that once supported you or perhaps mentor or support newbies on here. There are plenty of ways to pay it forward and perhaps many on the list are already doing so in their own way.
Please note to anyone reading: I have never received a curie upvote. In fact, @beeyou is a team account and excluded from curie support. That doesn’t mean I don’t see the support they give to the community so they have my small SP witness vote.
