Here's another 2 cents: Stay away from hero-worshiping and scapegoat seeking. These are artifacts of the centralized industrial era that we are moving out of. If we want a more decentralized world, we have to take more responsibility ourselves, and learn to co-exist and collaborate.
How is the Synereo Team? Better than ever! Innovation from diverse input is happening quickly, and progress on proof-of-concept alpha features are nearing completion. The January 20 deadline is real: we will announce a short-term timeline for the new alpha, with attainable short-term milestones throughout the year.
As is common with tech startups, we lost some time working with what turned out to be a dead-end. That drama is far behind us now, and we've moved on to more reasonable solutions that can be put on the market today. The long-term prospects will be kept on the back burners, until ready for prime time.
How is the Synereo Community? Other than a handful of die-hard followers of the ex-CTO, the community is also better than ever. Numbers of new followers & supporters continue to grow on Twitter, Facebook, etc, as well as subscribers to our newsletter and blog. We crossed the 2000 member threshold on Slack a couple weeks ago, and invitation requests for our alpha pour in every day. (

When our product is on the market, and people are able to use their AMPs for social media content in a decentralized attention economy, things will have a completely different outlook than today. The first iterations of that product will be available soon.
Thank you for your patience and continued support!
