So this is not meant as a complaint as much as it is more a constructive critique of this amazing platform which I want to see entirely succeed.
Lately I've gotten countless new users to sign up for Steemit through my media and large network of followers. It's incredibly exciting to me to see this massive influx of new users coming from what I like to call the dinosaur social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
There is something worth calling out though. Basically everyone I've gotten to sign up are waiting 3-10 days to be confirmed which is of course dramatically lowering their excitement of joining the platform and let's face it, doesn't look good. It's definitely not a good first impression.
As this platform expands at an incredible rate, something needs to be done to speed up this confirmation system. Much like the crypto-exchanges which have been overloaded with transactions and slowed down to snail speed, it's part of innovating this ever growing infrastructure to upgrade these now ancient codes and stone age crypto fundamentals.
I'm no genius. I can't fix these problems myself, but I know there are many out there who know how to change this system. This is the future of social media and we must protect the infrastructure of freedom in communications on this platform. We're on the ground floor of history here and we must be responsible with what we have in our hands.
