RE: steem is functioning, but be careful | rc is still fucked up
The oddity about the "clones / competition" that people keep saying they're running off too is... How are they going to be any better?
Let's say Weku, for instance, starts getting traction. They are going to run into the same exact issues and will sooner or later need to have their own RC debacle. I'm holding out with Steem. Rough roads now for sure, but that just means we are going somewhere.
For those that abandon ship, they're just prolonging the inevitable. Jump from Steem to Weku, post there a while, get mad when Weku introduces Weku-Creds, jump back to Steem, and be behind those that decided to stay. You'd be shooting yourself in the foot just to ignore a minor scratch on your hand ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The question is how much of a dictatorship is weku going to be? Depending on how much is decentralized we just dunno whether its gonna have the same problems or not. For sure its gonna run into troubles. Its likely to be just as centralized but i dont wanna go all in on any prediction.
Im not gonna defend weku because all im doing is copy pasting. People are not abandoning ship (at least not in big numbers yet). Its more like a 'just in case'.
Therell always be 1000s of other platforms. People have always been cross posting. Nothing more :)
Oh yeah, the cross-posting thing I understand. Diversification, don't put all your eggs in one basket, that sort of thing.
I was more just poking fun at the people who are up in arms saying things like "Steem is over! Everyone one to insert random steem clone here, it's totally gonna be perfect!"
Growing pains happen with literally every website, Steem is no different. Be smart & cautious, sure, but don't forget the smart part ;^)
haha yes i get it. those people are quite a small minority. also, i have lots of 'ifs' in my statements. i'm only pointing towards the possibilities of having your worst nightmares coming to life. i know i like to exaggerate shit and i may sound like i'm saying steem is garbage. but at the end of the day i'm still betting big on steem. i just like to express my concerns :)
I gotcha, expressing one's concerns is healthy for a stronger platform.
Also, I appreciate your consistent voice in this community. Lots of people wander in and out [ which is totally fine ], but I like the fact that you maintain your blog on a regular basis, it gives me something to look forward to 👍
thank you 😌
people change their minds all the time so i'm fine with that too. it's part of the freedom that should be guaranteed. conversations are good 😃 definitely looking forward to seeing more.
