Can we get a woot woot?!
This is the community I desperately want to cultivate! Reduce the trolls, reduce the divisive rhetoric and hate. I know that is idealistic, but we have an opportunity to shape something that can at least be civil due to the incentives of being civil.
If we can strike a balance of being respectful of others while still being able to voice our opinions without censorship. My goodness, I think I just shed a tear!
We need diversity of opinion and the thick skin to let that diversity of opinion do its damage. The community will be the better for it as it tempers the culture here.
Guys, this Steemit idea can be huge if we cultivate the roots properly at the earliest stages.
Let's keep this moving in the right direction!! Following you three @bendjmiller222 , @steve-walschot and @anduweb . Excellent comments all of you!
Amen! Woot woot!
First let me say a sincere thank you for your kind words and thoughtful response. I will certainly be following you.
We are 100% on the same page. The other important piece of moderating that needs to be addressed is the current flagging system.
There is no reason this post should have 3 flags. I'm proposing an idea that would force users to say why content was flagged and easily have a dialogue about it New Flagging Content Feedback System
I don't like that right now people can flag out of jealousy or disagreement.
That's the dream. A censorship free network that can still self moderate.
If the comment-section can keep this level of quality even with ever increasing number of accounts, steemit might be on to something.
Nailed it.
