Here, on steemit we are fortunate enough to relate in an environment in which our interactions generate value. Thus we have the possibility of choosing were to assign that value and that is what shapes this platform.
It's already clear that steemit is not a regular social media site, I tend to see it as the first Smart Social Media platform, through its design and all the innovations brought. The cryptoeconomics side has gotten a lot of attention and will continue to do so, because its something we really need to understand.
But, another thing we need to understand is the potential for social change that steemit has, here is were prosocial behavior comes into play. Here is the definition on Wikipedia: "Prosocial behavior, or "voluntary behavior intended to benefit another", is a social behavior that "benefit[s] other people or society as a whole", "such as helping, sharing, donating, co-operating, and volunteering"
This behavior science of prosociality can have a real role to play in how we organize our individual activity, as well as our communities. I trully believe that a prosocial aproach would bring a whole new level of value to this platform.
I will be doing more digging on this, stay tuned :)
Man, I love to see you here, and I love to see that we are getting a better chance to fight against political censorship!
