I have been pretty busy and haven't posted for weeks and perhaps you thought .. what has gotten into me today - I'm posting daft (yeah - I've picked that up from @meesterboom). Not really posting daft but I needed to make a point and unless it is experienced or seen - it normally doesn't have any effect and yes, I am open to the fact that this post would probably just be ignored.
I may have not been posting but I am a certified Steemit addict so though I didn't have the time to author a post for days, I have been peeking on the recent developments these days and I sure am glad on the many changes.
However, I was worried of but one thing - I've read that there would be communities the upcoming days .. oh the others call it tribes. I was wondering where would I belong - would it be compulsary to write only one genre now? I suddenly felt lost, confused and a bit out of place specially when I read on more comments.
Tribes? Why call the communities that? Is Steemit supposed to be just for a few certain genre - crypto, fiction, non-fiction and trading related articles. I thought it is for everyone - was I the only one who thought that? What are the details of the plan about building these communities and what does "building the communities" mean cause surely it hasn't been laid out on the table. I also thought we are one whole of a community - interacting with whoever we bumped into - others on a regular basis and some - when we get lost to in their turf. I must have thought wrong would someone please enlighten me? Don't get me wrong it is so not me to resist change - these are honest questions.
I saw @papa-pepper's comment on that post and I could relate to him. I used to be teased by my friends when the pokemons were on the rise. I'm a Pikachu - you can't put me in a pokeball it's just not me. I like diversity, change, improvement and challenging to outdo myself every now and thenTo prove that I took screenshots of what my page looks like on the my other social media in Asia.
By the way, did you guys made some changes on the posts URLs? The photos don't load anymore when I share it there so I stayed just tweeting. It's not them -- it's us really cause way months ago it's the same case till you guys probably changed something. I also tried sharing another person's work from another social media and it loads just fine. Only ours don't.
I hope that if Steemit comes to the point where tribes and communities are distinguished, they would take Pickachus in this ecosystem - into consideration. I have an impression of "us" being divided and I don't like the thought of it. Is it just me over thinking? I must be getting the wrong impression. Is it just me? Can anyone relate? What's the plan?
Is it going to be a set up similar to that of my other social media where my friends and I and the whole group who play Cash Flow are in a private group where in you can only join if we approve you to join? Would it be something like that? A group with an admin set as private? Would that mean that unless I am a member of that tribe, I won't be able to post anything else publicly now? Would it also mean that my posts in that community would be exclusive to that tribe alone?
Have you the same thought?
