No one said I did not want to cooperate, in fact, I reached out to SteemSTEM to chat with them. I even expressed interest in cooperating with them.
First off, it isn't STEMGeeks or SteemSTEM. They are not mutually exclusive.
Second, we are not really focused on the same niche. SteemSTEM is more academic and slanted more towards science. STEMGeeks is focused on all four of the fields and more of an amateur focus.
There are no expectations will find a new element or discover some earth-shattering breakthrough. STEMGeeks is a community where people can talk and share content about Science Technology Engineering and Math. This may be someone building a new pc and creates a post walking through the entire process or writing a tutorial on how to interact with a REST API using Python
I feel the audience and goal of STEMGeeks are far wider and more inclusive than SteemStem. That's not a bad thing, it's just a different end goal. I didn't build STEMGeeks to come up with breakthroughs, I built it to allow people to just be themselves and talk about cool things that fall in the STEM category.
I am honestly surprised at how much frustration has been expressed about STEMGeeks regarding SteemSTEM existence. Not only are we focused on fairly different goals, but it is not like I walked into their house and took all their support and people. I am providing a platform to get more new faces introduced to STEM and content created by Steem users and allow an additional way to reward them. In that, it also gets more exposure for SteemSTEM as well.
No SteemSTEM users were harmed in the creation of this message.
