It is a hard problem.
As power on the platform to demoralize account holders and render accounts effectively dead is directly linked to to how much steem accounts hold and the number of accounts one individual controls, any dilution of new users is not even noticeable.
It is just about impossible to limit the number of accounts one person holds without verifying identities and even then it would not be 100%.
I imagine that identifying each individual would be very unpopular here.
I do not see any way to fix the problem
You said "...until you create tools..." and "Until you guys build democratic tools...".
Who are you addressing there? What is a tool in this sense? These seemed pretty concrete to me.
I don't think we should try to limit the number of accounts someone holds, or identify anyone who isn't forthcoming with an identity. I do think some uses of multiple accounts could be legitimate, and if you want to give a verified identity to an account there are defensible reasons to.
Do you mean to say that bernie and/or other whales are actively working to demoralize new users, and thereby against the interests of Steem as a whole?
Thanks for the discourse @joe.public!
Didn't mean to rile you or anything. The language in your first comment suggested to me that you did see some way to fix the problem, and that someone (presumably with coding skills) could execute your plan. I was just trying to coax something actionable from that, where apparently no such thing existed.
