RE: What's More Important For Steemit Right Now: SMTs or Hivemind
Thanks for the comparison Glen. Truthfully, neither is too big on my radar at the moment. There are many communities right now, so I'm sure why we need another, separate community-based application. And I've been waiting to hear about SMT's, but besides general information, there doesn't seem to be anything concrete coming out. It would be nice to focus on what we already have that is good, or on things that now need improving upon, as opposed to creating more new stuff. Just my two-cents' worth :)
I'm in agreement, in that if more of us would concentrate on what was already here, there wouldn't be any reason to mess with it.
Unfortunately, there are too many here who either fail to get the concept of what Steemit is about, who have different interests than using Steemit as a de facto social site, or who don't really care. Either way, if they can't be swayed to follow the 'social contract' as I've heard it referred to, there can be problems. If not now, down the road.
Frankly, I don't know if this new Communities deal is actually going to do anything or not. If it makes it harder or nigh impossible to create spam or plagiarize, than it might be worth it right there. If it puts bot use back into a more manageable, sustainable position, great. All of that remains to be seen.
And until one or the other is here, there's not much we can really do other than keep on keeping on. We can't really adjust habits or strategies or anything when we really have no idea what we're actually dealing with.
