THE UGLY SIDE OF STEEMIT!!! ITS REAL AND IT EXISTS NOW!

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

THE DEEP UGLY: HATE, RACIST, SLANDER, AND JEALOUS.. SIDE OF STEEMIT EXISTS!!!
BELOW I HAVE COPIED A COMMENT I LEFT ON MY FRIEND @craig-grant PAGE..

IT WAS LEFT IN RESPONSE TO THE UGLY BEHAVIOR THAT WAS SPREAD AGAINST CRAIG, YULIANA.. AND HIS FOLLOWERS..THAT LEFT COMMENTS ON HIS BLOGS..DONE BY SOME HATEFUL PEOPLE..AND HAS RESULTED IN HIM.. FEELING HE HAS TO LEAVE THIS PLATFORM!

IT IS EASY TO STEP AWAY AND WATCH PEOPLE BE ABUSED...AND WHEN YOU DO THAT..IT SAYS ALOT ABOUT THE KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE...IT IS EASY TO VALUE STEEM POWER AND UPVOTING POWER OVER HUMAN RESPECT!

IT SAYS ALOT ABOUT THE STEEMIT PLATFORM AND THE PEOPLE ON IT... WHEN THE PEOPLE PARTICIPATING.. DO NOTHING BUT WITNESS...AND DO NOTHING..

THOSE THAT HAVE SUPPORTED @craig-grant AND HAVE BIG POWER.. (that were there in hopes of his upvote or recognition) THAT DID NOTHING WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING..
FOR SHAME...

MY SUGGESTION IS ...IF YOU READ THIS..
AND YOU AGREE THAT HATE...SLANDER, RACISM, ARE UNACCEPTABLE ON ANY LEVEL ON THIS PLATFORM..
RESTEEM. AND LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS FOR THOUGHTFUL AND LOVING SOLUTIONS FOR SUCH TERRIBLE BEHAVIOR..ALSO TO SPREAD THE REALITY..THAT STEEMIT..IS NOT JUST FLOWERS AND RAINBOWS!!

THERE IS A DARKNESS THAT EXISTS HERE..THAT WILL ONLY GET RECOGNITION ..AND CHANGE...! IF WE SHOW THE TRUTH OF WHAT IS GOING ON HERE! SPREAD THE WORD THAT THIS BEHAVIOR IS UNACCEPTABLE..

TO ALLOW THE DARKNESS TO CONTINUE IS TO ALLOW IGNORANCE AND HATE ...TO OVER TAKE SOMETHING THAT HAS A POTENTIAL TO BEAUTIFUL AND SUCCESSFUL!!

BELOW IS MY COMMENT AND MY TRUE AND HONEST THOUGHTS

"I don't really know where to begin..as what has happened is nothing short of straight ugly...I am disappointed that your followers that have power ..did not back you up sooner..(this is a display.. to me..of when.. the gifts are there to receive they are around, but when a threat happens they disappear) when they saw the disgusting slander,abuse, racism,and harassment being done to you..yours and your following..no one did anything to protect you...why does know one realize...or recognize.. that if it can happen to you it can happen to anyone here..and be accepted..which is straight nonsense...you have a beautiful life whether it is in the city or the heart jungle..and I believe you will continue to do so..you have helped many become successful...what I have seen.. you do is entertain and teach..what people chose to do ..WITH what you share.. is upon their own doing..(for God sake we are adults here aren't we? and are responsible for our own doing!) I will continue to follow you on youtube as I have for many years..I don't see this as a defeat for you or a loss..just a sign that there is something bigger and better out there for you...I was aware early on that there is a "grey" area on this platform to succeed...and I am ok with that (mostly)..but straight abuse,slander,racism and harassment.. should be something that is taken more seriously on this platform..seems flagging really does nothing .... if people lose their rep score they can still post..and the reveal button.. allows for these posts to still..be seen..my understanding is because.. its on a blockchain that doesn't allow ..things to be erased..with that being said..I did some research on this "hater" and she presents as a innocent that is in to organics..and rightful living..that turned into a straight hate spreading person..this hate will be on a blockchain forever..that has her picture attached to it...she will have to live with that...forever...I spent days thinking about what I could do? I flagged and it seemed to do nothing but create more harassment..and it continued..If I had more power I would have done whatever was in that power to stop this hate!..what are these witness people doing? aren't they supposed to catch this behavior? and stop it? why was it allowed to go on for so long? Im disappointed in so many...I understand this platform is in beta but if it allows for such hate and slander?!! what does it say about this platform? and those that are on it? it seems .. many are afraid to flag or stick up for another because ..they don't want to "lose power"...it is obvious that this platform has a lot of cleaning up to do... in my opinion "hate" should NEVER be an acceptable behavior...the beauty of this platform is that we have been given a freedom of expression that other platforms don't allow ..but with that..it seems it has allowed "hate, slander, racism and abuse" to be accepted...it is sad to witness..it has allowed a picture of what inmature, hateful, racist,jealous, and crazy" people can do.. when given freedom...it.. shows that .. very clearly...and gives steemit a terrible reputation...Mista Grant..I believe..that u will succeed in whatever you touch..because you are a magick being ..and I wish you only success..and blessings....your friend, UMA ~*~"

SERIOUSLY!
COME CORRECT AS BEAUTIFUL BEINGS... AND STOP HATE, RACISM, AND SLANDER..
SHOW THOSE IN CHARGE THAT WE WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS....AND WE WANT REAL AND OBVIOUS CHANGE ON THIS
PLATFORM..

BLESSED LOVE ~*~

Sort:  

i was also introduced to this platform by craig (via youtube) some months back and watching this play out is f'ed up to say the least...i could elaborate on my opinion but u did a great job of summing this whole thing up so i'll just resteem...the only comfort im left with from this situation is that even though he loved the platform, im pretty sure uncle craig dont give a fck and still shining his light wherever he is...hopefully this will get resolved tho

There are many truths in your words and I am thankful for your sharing...Thank you..bless up!

True talk ! This is the harsh reality of society that we live in & the Steemit community is no different IMO. We all come from different walks of life & realities there are always people that want to dictate and regulate everything that people say and do. My way may not be yours, and your way may not be mine. Different strokes for different folks!

I got lost in cyberland..and I allowed my emotional self to get involved..I have a new focus..and a new understanding..

Good! Be strong sis! ✌🏾️

Yo respekkk on it. Love and joyful vibes sent your way.

Blessed Empress...Thank you and many returns*

If I am to be honest @craig-grant and @yuliana are a big part of why I am on Steemit to begin with. Their excitement toward the platform gave me excitement toward the platform. The fact that this is happening needs to stop.

One Love sister, keep the positive vibes flowing, they have gone to far and they try to go after you when you speak against them, its sad very sad. I spoke with a witness about it last night, an people just want to stay out of this flagging thing, its sad but you just have to rise above

Bless up! when WITNESS people want nothing to do about HATE, SLANDER, AND RACISM! what does it say about this platform? It is so sad to read your words...please use your voice! if you stand against these things...this is the only way I know to spread this message!

It ridiculous, I woke up this money and I notice I have been tag in a steemabuse campaign, apparently I am among the 100 most self-voters around... apparently over my two months here, I have genereate 5 dollars and cents and paid myself 2 dollars and cents and use 100% of my voting power in the process. This new account is call steemabuse, it's only a couple days old, I had my run in with these people last week so I expect their campaign to continue... Stay above the water with these people, keep the positive energy flowing... I am gonna lay off writing any post here an just curate and the the positive energy on the platform where I can find it

You are right. I think honest promoters like me should be more supported :D. Check me out.

yes we need to stop them !

BTW Followed you and lets connect on steem and grow our account :)

People only hate when they're jealous 💋

I agree with you mostly...but sometimes hate is just hate..and you should never ever ..have had to deal with that coming your way...my heart goes out to you and yours...stay strong..I send strong blessings your way!

no they not, people hate when there is a reason and there is more than 1 reason to hate on craig grant- he is a fucking weirdo a liar a scumbag and a thief- this piece of shit never worked 1 day in his life and all he is doing is scamming anyone he can scam and even if he just steals someones time- take your weird boyfriend and your bitch trevon james and get tha fuck out of crypto- you guys will never make a fucking dllar in this crypto world- you pissed of to many people with your bullshit nad talking them into ponzi schemes. Im saying about craig that he is a scumbag the first time i seen his weird ass, i was surprised that i took that long for people to realise what fucking scumbag he and you are. I hope they just close down his acount and take his money- fucking scumbags

PLEASE NOTE THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE HATE IN WHICH I SPEAK!!!! HOW IS THIS EXISTING ON THIS PLATFORM!!! AND WHY DOES NO ONE IN POWER DO ANYTHING??!!!
I HAD ORIGINALLY FLAGGED THIS! BUT REALIZED THAT IS THE HATE! THAT IS BEING SPREAD.LOOK FOR YOURSELF RIGHT HERE IN THE OPEN!!.PLEASE NOTE HE HAS A NEGATIVE ON HIS REPUTATION AND IT DOES NOTHING! ALSO PLEASE SEEK KNOWLEDGE BEFORE ACCEPTING HATE AS TRUTH!

His reputation score speaks for itself. The flag button is there for a reason.

How do you plan to stop it?

like most things! bringing the truth out of the darkness and into the light..that these things exist on this platform.. in hopes that this blog is sent around ..so that those can read that this "ugliness is here" and that we want it gone..and that is it unacceptable..

Exactly the truth

bitch shut tha fuck up, you and your faggot boyfriend craig grant you guys are nothing but scumbags- fuck both of you

It exists on all platforms to a certain extent so I'm confused as to what you mean by that.

I dont want steemit to be a platform that support bully. At least those flag button goes to moderators first so that it protect both author and reporters to avoid biaseness!

This platform can 100% be bullying and hate..I have experienced it myself..and now I have witnessed it against others..this abuse toward yuliana and craig went on for days and days and nothing was done..my flags did nothing against these people...(because I am a newbie and don't have a lot of steempower) so to say we are protected is incorrect! it take people with huge amounts of steempower to get stuff done here...this place has a potential to be beautiful...but the reality is there is darkness..my hopes with this blog..is to say that I DO NOT STAND WITH HATE,RACISM, OR SLANDER! and if you don't..as well...then spread that message...let it be known you have a voice! this is the only way this will change!

There's only so much we can do until we are ignored or not even noticed , our words will be left untold

you have a voice here...use it! use your blog to say you do not stand with HATE,RACISM, OR SLANDER! on this platform! or resteem this .. is the ONLY WAY! TO MAKE CHANGE!

I always try to spread humanity not insanity
