Fyrstikken. THE FIRST SOCIOPATH ON STEEMIT. A dude who gave 20 million dollars to Peruvians, but start promoting personal hate on steemit chat. While a multi-millionair he acts like 1000 dollars is worth his reputation by using disgusting words. Reaching 10 million people in a country of 30 million is another obvious lie that is impossible. Reaching one third of a population on tv is like doing better than the best tv-programs.
I can't believe the people on Steemit would reward his post/behavior.
Upvoting hidden comment above to counter bad flags! Stop abusing your power @chhayll you know this has negative effects on reputation.
And "The beauty about steemit is we can all have different views" is just your excuse to not even consider the views of the rest of us!
Get off your high horse!
yep, my very first post on Steemit was about the flat earth discussion. it got down voted by some asshole without any comment. Why are people like that? I mean if you really feel so strongly about a post to INITIATE HARM against their reputation (i know you "anarchists" believe words are meaningless and feelings can never be harmed), at least have the guts to say why... and no weak sauce statements like "it is inappropriate" or "i don't like it". Use your big boy/girl words and actually give everyone a valid reason for your down vote. If it is worth down voting, it is worth an explanation. I assume you all want this venue to grow and not collapse under the weight of assholes? Prove it!
Oh and thanks for telling me how to down vote stuff. i had no idea it was the flag up top. i only used it once against a very vulgar and explicit post. Glad i did it but i should have said why. From now on, i will say why.
Correction: people who have invested in the platform by way of steempower upvoted him. Not in any way all of them, but it should show all the good people out there that powering up instead of cashing put and helping oneanother can do a lot of good. Fyrstikken has many people who he hangs out with trading "shitcoins" and it is pretty obvious that he can get them to upvote him and get them to respond in his threads and support him in various ways. There is nothing keeping others from doing the same.
Indeed, just like with every truly free system, people are forced to act to protect good people in the moments they believe in the cause, or risk being overrun by corruption. Synereo will not fix this about humanity. Steem "fixing" it will not ultimately ever 100% happen.
And ultimately Flagging is not that big an issue for people who build/participate on steem based sites that have steem as a backend and different reputation systems/better solutions.
The system is so new it is hard to tell how people will use it, but ultimately our freedom comes with these risks. At least with dan, he gave people an incentive to stick around to work on problems as opposed to simply dumping everything they have at the first sight of difficulty (read opportunity for growth).
I find it sadistic/inappropriate to show such pictures when people are having issues. I don't understand what you mean. I downvoted Fyrstikken's post.
That was a real asshole move. The comment literally asked for popcorn and you down voted the responses. There was absolutely nothing inappropriate or sadistic about them. The images were highly appropriate and jovial.
Those were bad flags, period.
If two people are accusing each other and having a fight in front of you on a street. Do you think enjoying yourself eating popcorn while watching it is good?
Do you know what a straw man argument is? This is not a violent fight on the street. This is butthurt popcorn drama on the internet.
Stop pretending this is more than it is.
The beautiful thing about steemit, is that it's based on different views of people and that they can use their upvote or downvote to it. I have the right to downvote things that I think are inappropriate. There are other things that you probably think are inappropriate and you can downvote that as well. But maybe there are other people upvoting your posts as they don't agree with me. Commanding me to remove that downvote seems also a bit inappropriate.
Why I didn't flag Fyrstikken's comment? Because I think it has content, and it shows how unprofessional and immoral he is, by using "sounds great to me" as a definitive appointment. So people can see how and on what basis he accuses Heiditravels. I did upvote sigmajin and Demotruck comments though.
That is how life works. People are different and no-one is the same. Innapropriation is a subjective term and so varies by individuals. Some of my comments are innapropriate to some people, and if they think so, they have the right to downvote it. It's a kind of freedom of speech on the blockchain.
I downvote not because I want to feel morally superior. That is just a silly conclusion. I downvote because I think it's inappropriate. That's it. :)
Sorry, no offense, I had to do it! It seems to be more appropriate to post it here than above :-)
Seriously @chhayll, that is not a big deal man. Those gifs weren't mean to be mean toward @stellabelle or @heiditravels. Best way is to ask if they feel offended by those popcorn gifs.
I notice that you really like to accuse people, you know that? Did you know that that is really inappropriate?
It was nice having this conversation. It's time to end it.
@luminousvisions
I'm totally for freedom of speech and freedom to do what you want, as long as you are not violating the Non-Agression-Principle. Thanks for showing interest for my blogs. And I think it's your right to kick me out of your great initiative. Because it's your initiative, you have all the right..
