Honestly I've seen a pile of toxic people and organizations.
@Canna-curate has done an excellent job of keeping things together.
Others have done more to be elitist cliques and hella judgemental.
These reasons have shut many people down from being here. And the hardfork? The RC?
I'm just lucky enough to have enough resource credits to have fun and play.
Never know what will happen. In the future. But with the amount of people leaving?
Oh I hit a good voting round... Let's just say the judgements about the "quality" of post I paid money for?
Well let's just say the offended rule here.
Personally I've cut back on being here. And the amount of effort I'm putting here.
Gone is the promoting and recruitment. Also the meet-ups for portland.
I still log some stuff and just did a 100 sp delegation for the information wars group.
So... I'm still here. But it's like a ghost town.
However voting rounds are open!
It's amazing what the small fish can accomplish when we ban together. Instead of sitting around and waiting for shit to happen, we take matters into our own hands and make it happen. As far as quality content, we need to encourage people to just come here and have fun. If you can write a great post or article, cool. But if you just want to tell people about your day, or just post a pic with a caption, then hell yeah. Nobody is better then anybody here, we are all equals.
I'll definitely blaze to that! It's all original here baby! Celebrate your individuality!
The traffic is lower for sure.
Yeah I know! Had a few friends quit over the drama with elamental and kennyskitchen over cowpocylapse.
And just the elitism and "quality" demands really put people off and down. The focus being on individuals and inclusion is better than even free beer. Though free beer does help.
And yeah I got burned by a few actual real friends over votes and popularity? Sweet! I didn't have to find out the hard way. I'm definitely going places. And here seems to just have soured for me recently.
But in all? If some changes were made? I think people would come back.
Canna-curate is the perfect example of how to be inclusive and reward original content.
Not everything has to be "high quality content" can't we inspire and reward people for trying?
