Hi @tawasi, thanks for the thoughtful comment!

There's little doubt that it has been a rather volatile and bumpy ride. But A social platform on the blockchain like this is a completely new idea... so I suppose it has always been hard to know what to expect.

Perhaps the lesson here is that there is no "they" that's going to come along an make anything work here... WE are the the "they" that have to be the example of how things can work.
