RE: Why Does Getting Flagged Hurt So Much?

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

It's interesting that you say that... This is my first day here (this is actually my first ever post) and I'm here specifically for the censorship-free nature of the forum. I hadn't really considered the negative consequences of such totally free expression. I was drawn to this site becaue of all the great things I've read so far or heard from user videos as it regards the welcoming nature of the community as a whole, but I suppose even this great concept has a "down" side; doesn't everything these days? In any case, even though I've only yet glanced about the surface, I can tell there is more not just more substance to the content here, but also a greater ratio of users willing to invest time in the content of deeper substance (even the "haters" here are well versed, for the most part;). Anyway, thanks for the enlightenment into the nature of the structure around here. I look forward to growing as a content creator for the first time in my life and every bit of insight helps.

Yep, unfortunately, it's called "human nature".

Welcome @fatherhoodrich!
You can’t be censored here in terms of your words being totally removed. But if somebody with a lot of power takes a disliking to you and/or your viewpoint then they can make things hard. It’s not common, but it happens

Kind of like the real world 🤔

"It’s not common, but it happens"

Unfortunately, I'd say it's getting more common by the day.
