A pertinent topic this week, particularly for me.
The general lack of interest in my case caused 2 things:
Dependence upon votes from the bigger accounts - the result of which being that when 1 big account removed their vote, my proposal was stopped.
Somebody active like myself, who is involved in the community can work to change that - the consequence of the above was that I've spoken to a lot of users in the past week to get the required extra votes. The lost votes was over 2m (doubled due to the removal to mine, and addition to the "Return Proposal"). The community has demonstrated its support and smashed this - so the appetite is there, perhaps awareness is the greater issue.
This has also allowed me to understand the users who aren't interested in (or who are confused or don't understand) this aspect of the platform and some have now set me as their witness proxy to do this on their behalf. It's an excellent approach as it's a simple process that only needs to be done once - with users able to easily reverse their decision when they feel comfortable to do so.
If not, then what's the point of a community?
There's the wider Steemit community where people move and interact freely but in my opinion, individual communities were implemented to connect people with similar interests. Using The World of Sports as an example, this is absolutely a place for sports lovers and anything outside of that would be out of place. Similarly, I don't understand why country communities have moderators from different countries. Surely Steem for Pakistan (for example) is for Pakistanis and should be run by Pakistanis. Outsides visiting should be doing so with Pakistan in mind - not to write a Diary Game from Venezuela (for example).
So in my view, communities should absolutely limit participation based upon the founders idea of what the community they want to create.
Yes, I think it's important to raise awareness in the community to support proposals, especially coming from users like you, who are always active and sharing freely.
I'm glad you managed to get some votes. I've also been seeking support for your proposal. It's very important that it be approved, so we can continue making progress on corrections and improvements.
I find your point of view regarding the functionality of communities logical, especially when they're formed to support a particular topic, as is the case with WOX, where only art-related content is allowed. The fact that moderators of other nationalities are present in a regional community may be to attract users from those other regions.
There are always strategies behind a team; the important thing is that each of them is active for the well-being of the platform.
Thank you for sharing your perspective with us.
It's a relief that I can continue working on the proposal. It will benefit the entire community so it came as a surprise to see people objecting to it!
I think it's a hangover from the engagement challenges where the steemcurator requested moderators from different nations in their applications. This led to country communities recruiting other nationalities. In most communities, the variety makes sense but for me, not in a country community.
De nada.
That's right, my friend. Some have been shaped according to needs. Let's hope you get your proposal approved.
Does this mean 1 vote counts heavier than another? Is that logic?
Votes are based upon how much power you have, just like when you vote on a post. The same rules apply to witness and proposal voting.
Thanks for the reply so in short it means it's pointless to vote with a low SP since if it comes to posting on a vote a very large group votes 0
I think it's appropriate to limit user participation based on language and topic
Because I think it's necessary to create separate communities for specific languages and specific users. Because each community should be able to easily learn, understand, and write about any topic in its specific language and topic. The Steemit community is a much larger community. Anyone can move and communicate freely here. But it is very necessary to create separate communities for specific topics and languages. Because if people from one community enter without knowing the language and topics of another community, the community environment will be destroyed. Anyone who wants to know about something or wants to express their feelings should express it in the communities formed on that topic. Because if other communities do not express it in the communities formed on that topic, they will make any mistake. This will seriously damage the community environment.
So I think that communities should limit participation based on the ideas of the founders.
It's not only about language and country bit also about finding certain topics back and most communities where everything is posted refuse to lay attention to hashtags. Not a single story can be found and that counts for many more topics. There is no other search option as through communities or hashtags and I only see the hashtag abuse increase wbich is also not helpful if you like to google for a Steemit post. In 2025 still 99% has no clue. Kind of sad if you ask me.
Yes, community organization is important. Bringing together users with similar interests can be crucial for maintaining high engagement, which is one of the platform's core priorities. Thanks to translators, there can be greater reach or flexibility regarding language.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this point.
