RE: Steemit Update: HF21 Testnet, SPS, EIP, Rewards API, SMTs!

in #steemit5 years ago

I'm more interested in communities than SMTs. We have lots of ad-hoc communities around tags and things, but a more formal structure with moderation would be really useful.

@elipowell does not seem to be posting much, but I'll follow her anyway.

Good to know! In case you didn't know, development of Communities and SMTs are fully independent. SMTs are being developed by @vandeberg and @gerbino (it's a soft "g") and Communities is being developed by @roadscape and relies on Hivemind (it's non-consensus).

I think its too late now for comunities. STEEM had a real opportunity for mass onboarding when G+ went belly up. With comunities, it could have made G+ group admin import of sorts. A missed opportunity AFAICG.

There have been missed opportunities, but there is still nothing else quite like Steem with any real community. So I'd say there is still a chance.
