Steemit has its own fucking police force pretty much, im trying to close it down mind you barry! They are trying to censor content they deem offensive (that is basically anything they dont like) they can fuck off...... this place is uncensored so people like you and I can talk about issues which would usually be censored.
@egjoshslim, I have read your blog and many of your comments. I understand you are frustrated because you feel like people are not listening to you. I admire your passion so it's important for me to explain how you can be heard. If you want to be heard, you really do need to tone down the aggressive speech. You have every right to scream and curse because of free speech but understand that your audience also has the right to react to it. I discern that you have a lot to say and I know you want to be heard. If this is correct, start communicating in a different manner. No person wants to read aggressive outbursts but people love to read emotion and passion. There is a difference. Find that difference so people can hear what you have to say. I hope this helps because it's true and accurate advise and I sincerely care about you. Peace!
Personally the aggression has been rather successful for me because when people call me out on it i educate them on the world and tell them to get the fuck over it. We can not any longer behave as others want because of their personal opinions and views. For to long i have accepted people talking down to me about marijuana and taken it in my stride without considering the damage persecution could do to me and my future. I used to talk like everyone else on an equal level but that was to appease people. We were not born to appease others and live a straight line. No adventure goes in a straight line. I talk like this in real life when something really pisses me off. People don't listen you you try to talk on a certain level with them. I'm talking people who say marijuana is bad because it kills brain cells for example. No longer should we allow such bullshit to be said and no attacked. Just like how racism is shot down now for the most part. If i witness someone being attacked based on race i will not be empathetic to the one being racist. I will risk my own freedom too defend the victim. How i speak is nothing in comparison to the mess that this world is in and people don't listen. When ever i am at a debate locally when a piece of shit racist pipes up with some ignorant shit i no longer try and debate. There is no debate for stupid and ignorance. We tell these people exactly how it is whether they like my tone or not. I'm not like it in everyday life it is situational based. If its ignorant and i wont stand for it then i will not withhold anything. Humans need to stop pretending to be things we are not. 90% of us use swear words everyday. Steemit is the forum for that. Thats the point.
We live in a world where in my countries case politicians and entertainers were abusing children.
Where people lose entire familes in air strikes by our governments.
This world does not deserve me to show it respect and i will not.
I will show you respect and anyone who shows me. On certain subjects and people i will not. I refuse to and always will. I have 3 posts like it and about 30 that are not. My point is you can not police decentralized uncensored content with a group of 8 people. It requires far more of the community to decide something needs censoring.
Anyone who listened to punk rock in the 70's knows what aggressive writing is at its core. It seems aggressive but we are showing our anger and explaining why. Understanding someones motives is very important to determining why they did something. Much love barry, Peace brother <3
this is news to me.
Are you certain of this?
And can you point to any 'offensive' stuff being stymied?
have you wrote a post that was aggressive and written with profanity? or anything controversial? The problem is they nuke the post with downvotes then it becomes buried and how would you know about it :/ 2 of my posts this has happened too because i write aggressively sometimes. (Which it is my right to do so here) its the profanities that got the post downvoted but regardless.....
I understand. Don't let it bug you.
Work to change it from within, keep it stealthy.
In other words, better kept covert not overt.
