No, this is not a joke! I have literally just received an email inviting me to join Steemit. I was a bit surprised at first, after all here I am, a member of this community for a month and a half already. Then I remembered that before joining with Facebook I have actually tried registering by just giving my email address (don't like to signup everywhere with a Facebook account). So apparently I was on some waiting list and now finally got an invitation to register by email... I believe that you can still only register if you have either a Facebook account or a Reddit one with positive comment karma... or wait a month and a half to get an invitation to join by email.
I know that Steemit is targeting users from other social media platforms such as Facebook and Reddit, but then again not being able to register immediately by giving just your email address is really not Ok at this point. Also remember that not everyone may be using Facebook or Reddit, and having to register on Facebook so that you can just register on Steemit is kind of stupid, don't you think. Then you cannot even do that with a new Reddit registration, you need to start using the website and get some positive comment karma and that can take some time. Why would anyone register on either of these if not using them already just to be able to join Steemit, well, because otherwise you will have to wait. I'm glad I did not wait to get my invitation to join just by email, otherwise I may have even ignored that message as I may have already moved past my initial interest in Steemit from a month and a half if I did not actually start to use it back then.
Now I'm wondering... should I join Steemit or not... oh! wait I already did that :D
