RE: steemSTEM on a break
Thank you. You said all the things I have thought about myself, too. Collaboration I see also in giving ideas and inspirations to other STEM-writers, which I do when I enter discord and it fits the conversation.
My own behavior on the platform is also about very serious issues I like to address and discuss with the community. Even having disagreements and struggles to communicate.
From how I see it posting is very personal and should be linked to a devotion and deep interest in what one wants to broadcast - all of you already said:). Throwing out one article after the other and bending myself to what I sense has the most interest of others is something I see and criticize as it can sacrifice authenticity.
The breaks in between STEM-related articles I find necessary for recovery and letting comments and reactions fade out. Taking my time to be in real touch with the readers. To holding that kind of quality is not easy at all. The rhythm of posting is nevertheless something personal but I do not see quality increasing when I post a science-related article every two days. So I think less is more.
I guess I will reduce my postings tagged with "steemstem" to publishing them once a week or twice a month.
Maybe this is also going to help the total amount of having the team to scan.
I have to agree with Trumpman that making a couple of good posts a week isn't a problem. I just wanted my comment to go and provide some potential ways for engagement.
I am by no means expecting everyone to follow and do everything in this comment, I just think that you know trying one or two of them here and there wold be nice. I mean for you, isn't it nice to get feedback on posts? Or have someone ask questions and become interested in the topic that you spent all that time working on? Thats our goal for everyone to as many people as possible.
:) yes, I do appreciate it a lot to get comments - it's indeed really strange having worked hours on one article and not getting feedback. I support what you've said. I added some contrast to the fun part. Because what I mostly write about cannot officially be related to fun. ... Or so I guess.
In the beginning, my commenting got so intense sometimes that I think I annoyed people with that. So I reduced that. ... Hmmm... I think reducing is not something bad & maybe I shouldn't have adressed that in my answer on your comment. Apologies.
No need to apologize, I was really tired and possibly didn't present myself properly to what I meant.
the 1-2 diamonds you publish per week are definitely not the problem.
1-2 buckle my shoes sounds better. xD
What you post is really great! Please continue. We really enjoy reading your post. The quantity is not the real problem. So please do not change anything concerning your post!
We are addressing the comment section of the posts we support. I won't repeat what @kryzsec said, but I am in line with him!
