I would want to see more active user as well because some of that 60k active user might be automated bots or transfers.
We want real human connections!
I am happy though that we are still the early adopters. People that have here posting, earning and amassing more Steem Power and influence.
We are the future!
You are doing great Mave with your pay-it-forward thingy! This really helps, just like we are trying to with our SBC community!
I do see more communities getting created, which is great but there is also a dangerous pitfall!!
It is a small step from a community to an upvote jerk friend circle!
Of course this is a natural behaviour based an shares interests! We just not just lock up ourselves in such communities.
My contest takes a hugh bite out of my steem time but still I do to reach out to steemians I do not know yet!
Because I am all over the blockchain I was able to connect people with each other from which I knew they do share interest, which did gave me a great feeling!
We all should do more actions like this, this will give the comment/post ratio an increadible boost!
