RE: Matthew Rosenquist, Cybersecuirty Strategist is on Steemit!

Welcome to the party! Great to see someone with your weight stepping into the fray.

So far, I have found Steemit to be such a wonderful community. Too bad it still feels like it is a secret. …We really need to change that.

How do you think the community should improve that in the short term and long term?

"How do you think the community should improve that in the short term and long term?"
My 2 cents:

  • We as a community need to continue to step up and be vigilant on creating, commenting, and curating quality content
  • Additionally, we need to provide the Dev's inputs on improvements, fixes, and new features
  • Show patience and appreciation to those same Dev's who are working their butts off. Remember, it still says 'beta' in the upper left corner of the screen. They are working to improve Steemit while it is growing rapidly. No easy task!
  • Invite others, who would enjoy and contribute to Steemit, into the platform. Giving warm guidance, a helping hand over the current rough spots (beta), and setting the right expectation (beta) as we move towards v1.0
  • ...oh, and have fun! This is a social platform. Be authentic, turn up the music, dance, and have fun in the Steem(it)

Show patience and appreciation to those same Dev's who are working their butts off.

Applauds to all devs once again...Great to have you here, btw!

Thank you @mrosenquist . Security, Privacy are extremely important topics for authenticity as you know. Your presence here helps tremendously. I think your closer scrutiny of the platform would go a very long way. I think they need to offer 2FS to start. What do you think?

Two-factor-authentication is becoming a standard to secure valuable digital property. It does not solve everything, but is a good baseline practice to make overtaking of accounts more difficult (in certain ways). There are tradeoffs, namely costs, support time, and most significantly the increased work the user is subjected to for login. So many considerations should be evaluated. My advice has always been to use 2FA or MFA for your most valuable digital assets.
