" I believe this platform has the potential to be a safe space"
The blockchain is not a safe space. It never has been, and it probably never will be. The blockchain is the jungle, it's the raw, untamed wild west, where a free person can either make a fortune or lose one. It is not for the meek, the timid, or anti social. It might be for the anonymous, but that's up to one who wants to be anonymous.
I agree now. I don't have a clear understanding of the blockchain. The platform I was referring to was Steemit itself. I do believe it has the potential to become a community model based in support and content excellence. I think that is what it tries to be but has yet to achieve.
