## Communities on Steem - Good or Bad? Tribes Dead?

Let us be honest - the Steem blockchain is as active as never before since ages, which is a good thing. Not focusing on the Tron deal / cooperation here, I am still concerned a bit on the new community feature. 

I have been testing it since the beta start - I was waiting for the communities in general since I started on Steem(it) back in 2016 - but do we have now the paradise of social (media) interactions on a blockchain? I would love to get some views by experts, major investors and Steem dinosaurs on some of the points below - especially related to the "Tribes" mainly created by @aggroed - are Tribes dead!?

- Will communities kill all created Tribes and their tokens?
- What is the purpose of the Tribes when we have communities? 
- If Tribes are here to stay, why do most Tribes have their own *"steem hivemind community"*?
- What is the different between a Tribe and a community driven by the Tribe
- Tell me the reason why these tribe tokens will have a future?
- Are Steem-Engine based tokens still relevant for this community as alternative for the promised SMTs?

Danke - je mehr ich über die Communities lese, desto mehr Fragen tauchen auf. Und ich weiß noch nicht mal was die tribes sind 😎 stetre Tropfen höhlt den Stein und irgendwann wird bestimmt Licht am Ende des Tunnels...

So kompliziert ist es ja gar nicht - die Tribes sind jene "Art" Communities, die auf Steem-Engine basieren - war quasi als Zwischenlösung gedacht, bevor Smart Media Tokens kommen. 

Hier ne Auflistung von einigen Tribes:
