Who remembers Steemit before all of the hardforks and other "improvements" that limited our ability to upvote friends and posts we deemed worthy of praise? I for one miss the days when an independent voice could stand alone against flagbots, "communities," self-proclaimed arbiters of quality content, greedy devs and whales. Now there's a new kid in town, a new place, set up like Steemit, but without all of the "improvements" that have made blogging here less and less attractive... it's called WeKu.
WeKu also has communities, but instead of controlling content they support independent voices... and now is the time to get in- the token, WeKucoin will be launched at the end of this month. I've been blogging on there for about 6 months now and the support I get from people there is unbelievable... it's like Steemit was 2 1/2 years ago when I first started here. I really feel like I'm a part of something- something good. Don't get me wrong, I still love Steemit- the people on here- I've made friends whose friendship I treasure- but the platform itself seems like it's deliberately trying to make it difficult for people like me to use.
I hope that my friends from Steemit will join me on WeKu- not in replacement of Steemit, but in addition. I'll always blog on Steemit- it's where I got my start, but in the coming years I see WeKu as the "bloggers choice," if they can avoid the pitfalls that beset Steemit.
