I had been telling people in comments that the PM feature was being worked on. That it was coming. Don't worry it's coming... several github issues have been opened to get this feature. I was sure it was on its way....
But alas, this is not the case. I just wanted to let everyone know there are no plans from Steemit Inc. to develop the PM feature anytime soon, at least not for the 1.0 roadmap. It's a "to-be-determined" feature that isn't regarded as that important for Steemit Inc. right now.
What do you think about the PM feature to improve connectivity and get people to stay on Steemit.com more?
sneak said there are no plans to add it right now in discussing his vision for Steemit Inc. last night on SteemSpeak. You can listen to the talk below. He said there is busy.org, steemit.chat and discord for chatting and didn't see a priority for it on Steemit.com.
Again, sorry to everyone to whom I said the PM feature was on it's way. I was sure this would have been a priority, but I was wrong.
Maybe if enough of us make noise about the PM feature, they will listen to the community and get it implemented anyways.
What say you?
Do you want the PM feature?
If so, please consider:
1) Resteeming this post and get more people aware
or even better...
2) Make your own post asking for the PM feature!
If many people make a post requesting the PM/DM feature, I don't think they can ignore the community about this feature that we all want, right? Even if its not on the official roadmap, we can get features added by all of us voicing the same desire :) I hope... LOL.
It's up to us to speak up and voice what we want on Steemit. :) Let's speak!
Thank you!
