I don't think that steemits user base exists in such solidity to form it self as community. It is too scattered and wide bunch of people. I think "communities update" is going to help make more clear who wants and what here. Currently it depends on post topic whetever steemit inc is going to be bashed or not. It is that those dissatisfied are most eager to leave comments overall.

There was one problem with communication though. The way that the EIP was originally represented could have been better. Rewards curve change was especially one that I think didn't go to well in terms of communication. It should have been mentioned from the beginning that the non-linear part was targeted to very low amounts of steem-power hodling accounts. That caused alot of angst by defenders and opposers of the "EIP".
