Steemit was originally pitched as a "Reddit alternative", but it never lived up to that, instead being more like a fancy block explorer. The recent introduction of communities sort of brought it back towards that vision (subreddits) but there is still a vocal part that think Steem/Hive should be only a long format blogging platform.

The thing is, that's not really what Reddit is, which is primarily sharing links and discussion, which doesn't really happen a whole lot on this blockchain.

That's why I'm excited about d.buzz because it's the first step in the "right direction" for a decentralized social media that resembles what people actually use (in this case Twitter).

And it's mobile friendly too, something a lot of projects and people here (for whatever reason) are very resistant to, when mobile is where people do most of their social media.

It's been kind of frustrating to watch how things have been going on this chain for as long as I've been a part of it, because so many times it seems like it's been self sabotaged.

With the way things are going with mainstream social media with further censorship banning etc. this chain needs to drop the elitist attitude of fussing over what has "value" and focus more on making it easy enjoyable and fun for people to use.

If not I know things will continue to flounder along as it has for the last four years or so in regards to price and engagement.
