DLine is a life line manual curation system that seeks out and encourages talented content creators who are discouraged and are about to give up on Steem for one reason or another.
DLine finds demoralised and forgotten content creators and passes their latest notable post to a line of manual curators who will read it, upvote it, and pass it along to another Steem user. The original dissemination line will consist of a list of half a dozen volunteer manual curators. Every manual curator in the line will pass it on to another person who they feel will enjoy that post. Curators may choose to resteem the post, put a curation bot on it, comment on it, follow the author -- do any of the normal activities a Steem user may do.
DLine is not about providing monetary "rewards" for talented content creators. It doesn't take their overall economic situation into account. It is about getting their work appreciated and read/viewed by individuals and in that, supporting or rekindling their faith in the Steem ecosystem.
In short, DLine will take a talented yet forgotten or undiscovered Steemian's engagement from this:
.. to this:
Instead of getting zero readership, they will see support from individuals who read their post.
DLine will feature 1-2 content creators a week.
DLine will be offering automated encouraging comments on posts when called. Every comment will be written by a different member of the Steem ecosystem. The purpose of these comments is to add a bit of encouragement mixed with a humorous novelty feel.
This component is currently in the development and testing stage. Summon permissions will be changed as DLine is used to discover the best curation algorithm. User behaviour will determine the algorithm.
These are individuals, chosen at random from a list of known kind-hearted and knowledgeable Steem ecosystem members. The only thing they have in common is that they've all taken the time to talk to an unsubstantial user down on his luck and read his posts. These curators don't use manual curation as way of self-aggrandization (no one who does is considered). The list of these individuals changes. They get no remuneration other than built-in curator rewards.
Every node in the line is an individual. If you're interested in joining the line, comment below with your Discord handle and where you can be found.

DLine will endeavour to find and include content creators from all walks of life who publish in all different languages.
DLine is a non-divisive project: it treats all users, irrespective of their time in the ecosystem and the amount of tokens they have in their wallets, equally. Minnows, dolphins, red fish, whales, giant squids, sea cucumbers, manatees and the rest of the ecosystem are treated equally.
DLine will bridge with other projects and potentially blockchains in time.
Should DLine thrive in the Steem ecosystem, future development will be announced.
