Hi,
I'm Akado from BitSharestalk, long time member of the BitShares community. Been around since the AGS donation period. I've decided to finally create my account, not with the objective of making money but to support the technology and the community, which btw, seems to be growing.
I like the fact how Steemit has lowered the entry barrier and made it easy for anyone to signup and start participating. That's one big achievement imo. I feel the crypto geek technical stuff like mining is completely separated from the "normal" users, who don't have to worry about that stuff and can just use it like any other forum.
My question is:
Can this be implemented on other forums and communities? I mean, that would be way way easier than trying to make everyone migrate here. Features like getting paid and upvoting only, the core stuff that stimulates content creation and good behaviour.
Imagine http://www.deviantart.com/ integrating these features. They have a huge user base, completely dedicated to content creation, they have contests, all kinds of stuff. Is this the plan for the future or can it be done? Is it feasible? I don't see deviantart community migrating here, but if these core features would be implemented there, it would be cool.
Other example are Roleplaying anime forums, where people are very detailed on what they do during roleplaying. This could also increase the quality of content there for example.
Thanks.
