I believe the idea of posting curated updates via @vyb.hub will be of great help in maintaining a more accessible flow of information than discord. I really have a hard time keeping up to date on discord and reading all the chats that end up being filled with news and this causes me a feeling of absence and maybe a false impression that I don't "care". The fact is that I have little free time to dedicate to the project other than the work itself of carefully curating it. I don't mind that I'm not necessarily able to follow the conversation if that's not essential, but I think that if the VYB curator's plan is to have a strong and fully connected team, it makes more sense to transfer my role to someone who can integrate more and be active on the team. In no way would this make me sad, I'm grateful for the experience I've had so far and I will continue to participate in Vyb anyway, since I joined Hive my vision is of "curation".

I'm hoping that @vyb.hub can provide more direct communication for many different avenues of VYB and the VCP is the first testing ground for that. We also have the AAT for Anti-Abuse Team (community mute updates), VSB for the VYB Stewardship Board (project proposals, ballot voting), and more, which can utilise the space.
Discord is a pain due to the way that messages appear in a chronological sense and before you know it you're many messages deep and anyone looking to catch up has a task on their hands. Fortunately, the progress has been free-flowing and the importance of the initial Discord setup has been more for foundational building rather than any major developments.
I believe the Distribution Data posts for the curators speak volumes and that's what truly matters, the results. As we progress towards increased communication on the platform and as more people get involved with the curation (rather than focusing on a small group of people), I feel like we'll find a more community-supported and inclusive opportunity for many upcoming budding curators who'll be able to find their own role, rather than having a role thrust upon them by whoever clicks the fingers. This is much more possible with a focus on freedom to vote as you like, with detailed accountability provided. I shared a comment to @notconvinced in this post about @khoola and his desire to support The Terminal during his curation block, this is a great example of the kind of roles that people can undertake using their own initiative.
Strong and fully connected, yes, but not in a small closed-off team in the shadows, more platform-wide and engaged with as a community (whether that is VYB, POB, ETC, ETC, ETC).
LOL! I myself have a day job that is from 8am to 8pm... and it is nice to know you are there.
The way I see it, everything is still in experimentation... just stay with us we will see it through, probably 🤣. Aren't you even curious what the curation model will fully look like? and be there when that happens. 😍
If yes, don't mind the chatter much on discord... we will find some time to relax and chat then get to know each other, hopefully 😂.
anyway, take care see you at VCP HQ.
