Yes, I realize that. I also had run out of patience since I am the one primarily the one who has been dealing with a few women who are being constantly harassed. I had been emailing about this for months, many users have written posts about it so have I, and yet nothing happened, not even a blurb about it. People who are not being actively victimized, harassed and threatened will never understand this stuff. My quality of life was being invaded. It was ugly. The reason you don't hear about it is that several women after being victimized, have left Steemit and are also broadcasting that this is not a safe place for women. After i relayed the fact that i was publicly doxxed TWICE by some nutjob, and that Steemit had no way for me to disconnect from this person, my acquaintances (who happen to be police officers) inquired further into what is going on here. The transparent nature of the blockchain is helpful, in that if any investigation were to take place, then all the evidence would be collected. I like that aspect. But I don't like the lack of control over user's privacy. A block feature could be implemented, or let the users decide who their content is visible to. Privacy and safety is completely ignored in this environment.
The dam needed to break because it appears that people were not taking me seriously. I was being too nice.
Yeah, I know that Steemit is just one branch of Steem. Maybe I'll be interested in creating a new one, but the amount of work that takes is well, a bit overwhelming. Why not make Steemit great, one that no one can touch? Recreating the wheel..............could you start one from scratch? This one already has a user base a fully-functioning ecosystem.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
If it is built on top of the steem blockchain then it can be different but still tap into the same ecosystem. Steem Power, Steem Dollars, etc should all move with you to any app using the blockchain.
You could start from scratch, or you could do one of the following:
It also doesn't have to be @kaptainkrayola. I happen to know him and happen to know he is building most of his code himself and also working with @fabian with regards to some jsnode things. I do not believe he is using piston, or steemit.com code at this point.
As to privacy... that really depends on HOW private. Being able to see the wallets and transaction information is critical to stopping cronyism and corruption. Anyone can follow the paper trail. If by privacy you mean it is exposing information that should be private that then can be used to doxx you then yes the is potentially a big issue.
As to women... yes women are more often targets for such actions, yet it is happening to other people.
I have @feminism trolling me just like he does you and @beanz.
