Cultural Marxism is still Marxism :)

What a great Steemit promotional campaign this would make! When I first joined I was amazed at how well Steemit functions without any kind of moderators. In a sense you could say the community moderates itself using the flag mechanism, and in general that does seem to be an effective way to get rid of the occasional troll. I do worry a bit that flagging could turn into a form of censorship in the hands of a powerful whale, but so far those worries have proved unfounded.

I agree, to be honest I'd like to see the flags kept in the hands of the steemcleaners crew and possibly a select few moderators the community could vote for...

But I have seen flag abusers punished as well so maybe that is how they are dealing with it, either way it is a surprisingly friendly place with a very warm community feel.....

Thanks for your kind words :)

That was one impression that also struck me very strongly when I first joined. Reddit and Facebook are absolute cesspits compared to Steemit. I think having an actual financial reward at stake acts as a powerful motivator for people to behave themselves on here. ;-)

[majes]

Yes it does, and also the reputation system. There is no profit in trolling lol...

Steemit is such a great platform, I'm a lover for steem and the fact that we have freedom of speech on the internet world is great.

[majes]

Yes I have been very impressed since I joined Steemit and I have seen many positive things come from it..

Thanks for your response :)

How.. not what I have seen

[majes]

Is that a question or a statement ?

[ianstrat]

Question???

[majes]

Steemit rewards it's members while the others seem more and more to censor free speech...

re: reddit, or worse you get one of the moderators or admins abusing the insidious shadowban feature, meant only to waste spambot time but frequently used against real people.

[majes]

Exactly :)

Great post! A point well made.

Thank you for posting @majes. Enjoyed reading all the replies. Freedom to express thought....Steemit is the place to be.
Of course...with freedom comes responsibility.
It does seem at Steemit you are held responsible for what you express.

Thank you for the Resteem and your assistance. Very kind of you @majes.

[majes]

You are most welcome my friend. I am always willing to help any time you need me :)

Blessings.
