I completely agree. One thing it highlights is that steemit.inc's communications with the community are seriously lacking. Does anyone really know how they are coming along with the challenges they are wrestling with? How soon anything already discussed will be implemented?
It is important to understand for sure if steemit.inc are withholding critical information about the health of the network or if @elfspice is wrong.
It certainly doesnt improve optics never communicating.
Totally. I don't want steemit.inc's custodianship to turn into something to be lamented. I'm sure there are people working very hard there. But, there is quite a lot that does not stack up right now and the terrible communication is one major red flag.
Maybe some more responses from other witnesses (like gtg comment) on the topic will help clarify if it's a non-issue. But the communication aspect is still an issue. I'm only 6 weeks in and in the last 2 weeks it's starting to feel like there's nobody up front in the engine car. There really is no "corporate" team, HR, PR, etc to interface with users. I rely on older members, the 2016 group like yourself, (I call them Primes) for community support, guidance and growth.
here we are, users, owners of the blockchain :-)
that's by design I think
Very true, but there could be a central voice that keeps everyone in the loop and defines clear objectives, goals, and addresses problems or concerns so these issues dont boil over. I try to ask questions to witnesses to learn as I go, but its a new experience not having a central voice.
