RE: steemSTEM on a break

in #steemstem7 years ago

Smaller communities are harder to keep track of, but we're already trying to at least have some language-specific communities. The biggest problem is that people don't seem to think it's necessary to engage with other author's posts, they just wait for their big vote and then post again. That's something that needs to change, or there's no future for this project. At least not one I want to be part of.

Yeah It surely is a lot of extra work managing multiple sub-groups and I think the language groups already help a lot. Maybe it is possible to make the size of the upvote dependent of interaction with other SteemStem posts? It should not be impossible to write a bot that keeps track of users activity on SteemStem posts and storing that as an "Involvement score" that influences the size of upvotes.
It would give a natural incentive for users to get more involved in other posts I believe. This score could be behind the scenes so people do not try to manipulate and milk it.

This is along the lines of something we're currently discussing :)

aha! that's great! I'd love to help in any way, but I assume there is already a big team to work with? 😊

Keep your eyes open, there will be a post :P
