RE: Blockchain Poets Commenting Initiative

in Blockchain Poets3 years ago

Normally, I would make an attempt to answer you in Spanish, but my Spanish isn't very good and I have a lot to write.

I have been interested in providing feedback on poetry since I got here close to 4 years ago. I actually belonged to a few other poetry communities that lived by comments. That is where I first saw the 2 for 1 rule. It worked great there, but it was very hard to enforce. It took a lot of volunteers to make sure that everyone was adhering to the rules to make it work.

In those days, comments were like a currency. It was a sense of pride to get a comment. If a lot of people enjoyed your poem, it would keep getting pushed to the top with new comments. It was really fulfilling.

Here on the Blockchain, comments hold less value. For the most part, all we seem to care about are upvotes. I made this community with the hope that it could be a place where comments were the focus. I don't care if you repost a poem from elsewhere on the Blockchain. I don't care if you comment on a poem long past the payout. In fact, I encourage it. I want people to come here because they know it is a place where they receive feedback on their work, but creating such a place takes a lot of time and dedication. That's where you (or anybody else) could help.

I don't necessarily want or need delegations, though I know that will help. I need people who would be willing to comment on poems people post here and to hold them accountable to do the same. The more of us we get, the better this place would be.

I have the vision, and I have some other developments coming soon, but I have never been great at implementation. I will gladly accept help in that area.

I can understand your point of view and I like the idea, In fact, I enjoy reading poems and I always try to leave a comment, because I know that when a writer write a poem his or her objetive is to be read and appreciate by others.
