How do you fix this? This cannot happen! If Steem is going to change the world it cannot have a toxic community and it must be fine-tuned. Greed is to be expected with this many people of all different backgrounds on the platform; however, there needs to be a solution. Perhaps a council of moderators that are elected by the community that can resolve issues such as this one?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
To fix this, you're going to have to remove Whales from the system. Alternatively, you're going to have to introduce moderation to the system.
The system is centralized right now (by whales), so you either turn it truly decentralized, or introduced a higher centralized force.
Or you trust in the Free Market and trust the other whales will take action, which costs them money, it must be noted.
Do you think the idea of a council of moderators trusted by the Steem community who would oversee such conflicts and step in would be a feasible idea? People are fueled by greed so I doubt other whales will take action as it would cost them money though I would like to be wrong. Morality can be corrupted by money and doing the right thing at a great cost puts a bad taste in people's mouth.
No.
I used to moderate a very large subreddit. Steemit lacks, but can add, tools that you need for effective moderation, though it'd take a while.
The problem is money. You'll have users who can say one cannot gain said value, or exercise their money-bought "rights." And said moderators will have to somehow resist acting on stuff that impacts them, and people will flock to them.
And if you elect them based on the voters' steem power, then you're not solving anything, because then the rich will appoint the people who are supposed to oversee them? Yeah, no.
good writing
Dear Friend
Your writing is absolutely fascinating to readers.
From today I will read you every day

Steemit court?
We need community based validation. Human nature can not be changed. Animals will always resort to violence and retaliate when provoked. We need to develop solutions that force greedy people to play nice and share in order to be greedy.
The problem with a council of moderators is that they are people. We should try to avoid solving human nature problems with solutions that can be exposed by human nature.
so we need an AI, or we need redundancies that help mitigate conflicts
You need a better designed system that is flexible for different users but has clear bounds on undesirable behavior.
If you can do it, then it should be allowed.
That being said there are some corrective mechanisms built into Steem. Flags. They just don't work very well and require fallible humans to implement. This would suggest we need a more rigid change through code rather than placing our faith in human relations. The internet is filled with narcissistic greedy trolls who forget that they are human.
So, to answer your question: probably the 2nd, or a little bit of both.
"The internet is filled with narcissistic greedy trolls who forget that they are human."
The only way to stop this, is the Zuckerberg-ism of the internet. Get rid of anonymity completely, so people are held accountable. I don't like the idea, but man, the more and more I see the way people behave when they aren't accountable for their actions, sometimes I wonder.
Exactly
good comment, you have all the reason.
I said the same thing the other day . It is not haejins fault .. everywhere u have users and abusers no matter what sphere of life . In this instanace it is steemit , haejin and us the users of steemit . Haejin is either exploiting steemits obvious flaw or he is really trying like all ofnus to make some bucks , nevertheless it is steemit's problem to solve issues like this or if they do not , i guess it is on to the next more secure coin ?
