The underground sites like Steemit and Diaspora are run, created, and envisioned by engineers, while designers unfortunately, like most artists flock around the money. I mean only designers could remove useful functionality to make it easier and less complicated for the user (Apple).

Engineers on the other hand does tend to overlook even the most obvious communication aspects ... Look at this hilarious video of a guy trying to explain the greatness of IPFS
