We need more of the open source crowd to get into Steemit. They could code up more cool tools. I keep meaning to try some stuff myself. There's some Python libraries that make it pretty simple.

They're too busy gearing up to go all corporate. :-D

I responded to a post by Jono Bacon where he called for (Pete crosses himself repeatedly as if he was a Catholic, which he isn't) a standardised package and repo for Linux!

A single standard Linux, the world as we know it has come to an end. Bwahahaha

Yes, but there are people out there who just like to play with stuff. I want to see a few projects on here so I can easily support them. Getting people to pay for FOSS has always been an issue. The Steemit model could help out.

Changing the subject slightly: I've noticed [In my feed] that some of the, less than quality, posts have started to drop off. Having said that, I'm now flooded with crypto posts and what I suspect is Chinese posts that I cannot read. :-(

Can't you just unfollow those people? There's no obligation to follow back. I've stopped following some people to keep my feed under control. There's only so much I can read.

I get very few spam comments, so the system is working well from my viewpoint.

I'm continuing my personal policy of "Freedom of Speech" be it good bad or indifferent. I suspect all the Crypto Speculators will move on soon anyway.
