You can ask questions at the Steemit Ramble discord witness chat next Saturday. And many witnesses publish blog posts, so you can research them if you put some time into it. I agree, it would be helpful if everything was in one place, but it is possible to get an idea of what some of the witnesses are about if you look around. Read their blogs. Engage with them. This is the best way I've found to decide who deserves my vote.

Thanks for weighing in. Probably showing my age and distrust here, but I don't use Discord. I don't trust apps, and something feels off about having to use a second social platform to manage the one I am interested in.
I am thinking this will be how it will come about for me
Which could be a lengthy process. I think I have found 3 or 4 that have my vote now. Part of the problem is some things are not easily knowable, and I simply don't have time to figure it out. One of the biggies for me is whether they run a profit bot or not. I just can't believe that anyone running one (or sending large delegations for profit to one) has the long term success of the platform in mind.
Fair enough. I'm on discord more than Steemit, some days, but you do you. Engaging can be a lengthy process, for sure. There is probably a list of witnesses who run bots. Will come back and add to this comment if I find it.

Hope that helps! :)
Very much. Thank you.
Discord is a tool, you can try to build here without using tools, but that's gonna be real painfully slow.
Yes, I have passed up on several invites that probably would have sped me along in my growth here.
