Specialization - jump starting new steemit sub-communities and creating insurmountable obstacles for others

in steemit •  8 years ago 

@jl777 So basically you are looking to do this ( and I am explaining it in simple term as I always do )

  • you want to catorgorize steemit into several "smaller & more specific" topics
  • within these, we have admins to supervise the content and "judge" the content
  • which basically the concept of every single forum out there on the internet

thus ADVANTAGES are " smaller management are better management"

  • improve the quality of posts
  • also improve the "pay-off" for posters instead of being lost in the flood of everything

CHALLENGES TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL

  • change in structure of steemit ( which i think can easily be done)
  • choose who are the people who "qualified" for the admins job - and i dont mean "the people with money/steem power" are those who will judge

    yes!
    any #tag is automatically spawned, but without content it wont exist. and without people to judge the content it will end up with junk and without enough SP muscle to support this, we wont get the content

    as a community we can get pretty much all the pieces done and we are starting with #trading as it seems a very good sub-category. so we need a website that is oriented for this, ie its frontpage is #trading, we need content providers for it, curators, and whale support for the concept in general and specifically to manually upvote #trading so after all the work to get this in place we dont end up with $1 payouts for good content.

    Maybe you can help with describing the process that achieves the goal?
    I know we havent achieved it yet, but we will, so it would require to be part of the process so it can be documented. Once we have a proven working methodology, then we can get dozens or hundreds going in parallel.
    The role of whales will be to honor the dolphin's judgement as to which content deserves upvotes. This separation of powers of upvoting might be heresy, so I recommeded tapping into steemit account's voting power. However there could well be whales who are not having the time to be curating, so a mechanism to lease out their voting power to specific categories would be a nice core feature.

      hey , im gonna help you out here

      • Ultimately for steemit to succeed, power must be granted to the crowd. Ideally, Steemit does not want power to locate to a just few privilege people aka whales . Just because of how to the steemit works in early stage of development, there are whales created and thus creating problems that what whales like and “judge” as important shapes what Steemit decides to be important. And that’s is bullshit !!! however Steemit is well aware of that, accept that problem for now and will solve it . If you have not read the white paper, then this is my summary.
      • So now that’s you want to sub Steemit, that’s not a problem. But if you are thinking that there are layer of powers here, there are a group people to decide what is good what is not, then it’s just WRONG.
      • I actually was admin of a web page for about a year. And what I think, what I do, shapes my page. Basically, the page represents myself. Nothing wrong about that because I own my company, I own the page, I can do whatever I want with the page. However, no single group of interest owns steemit but actually everyone.
      • Therefore a proposal to let’s whales or big dolphins to dictate Steemit is just WRONG. Whales/Dolphins are created during your process of commitment, it’s a means of your reward, it means you have louder voice but it does not mean whatever you say is GOLD.
      • Anyway the solution is simple: create sub, but nevermind about whales/dolphins, instead focus on power for fishes. it is too easy to create a sub-catergory. But there is no need for dolphins/whales to supervise, the CROWD will do it
      • And it’s not happening right now but the opposite. However , I also have a solution for that which I will write an article about

        open process for the specialist curators to be elected, using method similar for witnesses. this allows anybody who can convince the community they are competent in the speciality to be a curator. So this is a representative system and it separates upvoting decision from the value of accounts. Assuming we can get X amount of voting power allocated for a category, then which posts gets the share of that is up to the elected curators. There is no dictating that I am proposing, rather the opposite.
        Now maybe when there are millions of steemit users, things can be totally freeform, but for now I want to be able to target a specific high value category and then have a proven process that jump starts it. If a category doesnt have whale support, it wont have the big attraction behind it, so the categories that are selected will also need to go through a vetting process. But that I will be able to use the existing methods.
        So, the selection of categories: by the community
        selection of specialist curators: by the community
        selection of posts within a specialist category: by the specialist curators
        upvoting: based on MofN approval by the specialist curators

        It isnt perfect, but my method is not a bad start. feel free to make improvements
