I think the idea is to build a community that recognizes each individual for who they are. If this community then have the qualities like:
- Mutual support
- Respect
- Willingness to progress
Then it is the Dapp that would have to rise to the challenge of being able to handle such a community. Because if this Dapp is not able deliver and a few individuals important to the circle of a group decide to shift, then their whole community can potentially shift with them.
This is one of the reasons I think decentralized social media will prosper. Dapps are competing with each other to deliver the best product. The users have multiple options and they are more serious than your average user because the participation here is incentivized by earning tokens and a stake in the system. Same cannot be said of facebook because I am not earning from facebook so I may use it for fun but I won't be using it to pour my hard work into. I would do that here on steem.
At the end of the Dapps understand that people here are passionate for what they are doing and thus they have their own communities within the network. Either the deliver or get phased out. I know its a bit harsh but on the other hand we too are investing so much of ourselves here. I think that at the end of the day, due to the centralized nature of the blockchain, this will evolve into a healthy competition rather than a dog eat dog place.
I admire your writing skills which I’m lacking!
Thank you and I appreciate your contribution @hashcash :)
Thanks for kind words man!
Sometimes, some words just stick with you and make you think.......... when you talked about how people are moving from traditional social media to Dapps on the blockchain and how the bots here are going to go out of business, it reminded me that this might be turning point (not just on large scale) here on steem blockchain.
I think being prepared for all this could be the key to succeeding in this changing environment. Obviously the best way to adapt would be to it with a group of people who understand each other and their goals.
