RE: Steemit Is Shit But Still The Best Social Media Platform Outhere

in #steemit7 years ago

Good luck moderating the moderators, or selling that idea on this platform knowing that it was literally created to make censorship impossible, and you want to create censored tags.

Sort:  

Good luck getting through life with those reading comprehension skills. God, I'm really getting tired of the ADHD people who can't read. I said moderated tags compete with unmoderated tags. I'm not trying to end "muh anarchy."

Go fuck yourself with your logistics argument. I'm telling you what needs to be done and you give me is God damned logistics. Faggot.

Fuck off. You let people create their own moderated hashtags and if the moderation is good people will post their content on them and if the moderation sucks they will use a different tag. Not that complicated, but if you want to be a faggot about it then continue.

I'm not here to write a fucking white paper. You want to meet up so I can kick your fucking ass? I say we settle this already.

I won.

NM. Looks like a similar idea is already being implemented. God you look stupid now.

The irony is that in the effort to make a platform that was uncensorable, what has actually happened is anyone with money has become a smashingly effective censor of anyone with less, while being uncensorable themselves.

That depends. If someone with the power to silence someone chooses to do so, then no matter what label is attached to it, I'd say that person has been censored.
Let's say John Doe Steeminan (new account) posts comment X. Well, Joe Bloe Whale (with a few million Steem Power and a reputation score in the 80's because everyone upvotes his nonsensical posts hoping to score curation rewards or tickle his ego enough to make him upvote them) reads comment X and decides he doesn't like it (for no particular reason). So Joe Bloe Whale goes on a streak of going through John Doe Steemian's posts and flagging every one of them until John Doe Steemian's rep score is well below zero, meaning his posts now never see the light of day. John Doe Steemian has neither the power to defend nor retaliate.
This platform is one of the best ideas I've seen in a while but there's a reason the logo still says "beta" on it. I hope that there will be some way to iron out these bugs in the future.
