Whereas I have seen "The Alliance" pop up more and more, I must confess that I don't know a whole lot about it; but I DO find it interesting how the members of Steemit have increasingly "self-organized" into communities, absent the long promised "Communities" feature from STINC.
I'm pretty much in anything that favors content and cooperation over money and greed.
Oh, and thanks for the obligatory kitty pic!
I was in a similar boat, but kept seeing more and more Steemians I was 'closer' to getting accepted in there. I'm not in there myself just yet, but I would expect this to align pretty well with what you're looking for. This post lays their rules/goals out pretty well: https://steemit.com/thealliance/@thealliance/thealliance-house-rules-updated
Yea...it's always better when something is wanted on Steemit...to just find a way to do it without Steemit, lol. I'm definitely interested to see how they go when STINC launched them...but we've gotta keep moving in the mean time. :)
Hehe...obligatory kitty says thank you! (pronounced meow, lol)
Much the same thing I'm experiencing; lot of people I follow and respect have the banner at the bottom of their posts... so maybe there's something there.
I'll be a little more serious about checking it out!
Meow!
