RE: Is It Time To Create A Dark Steemit or Maybe Separate SubSteems Or Groups In Steemit?

in #steemit8 years ago

I don't know if Sub Steems are such a great idea, I thought there was a muting option, I'm not sure, but anyway having that option you could just ban content from certain users you don't want to see.
I am not offended easily so frankly I don't mind whatever content or pictures someone puts up, but maybe there is some hate content I don't like also I don't like raw images you know of dead people or something like that, I could just mute it.
The tags are good but suppose I don't use them correctly either unwittingly or on purpose? And I do believe everyone has a right to post whatever they want and I also have a right to read or see what I want.
Of course I never did use Reddit so I don't know how things worked there.

Sort:  

maybe groups is what I am searching for. most sites have "groups"

I think the real problem is that the posts are poorly organized. There is a very low signal to noise ratio and you have to search through many posts that don't interest you (most of which are merely uninteresting, but some of which are actively offensive), in order to find the posts that do.

IMO, a forum setup like 4chan or 2p2, that had tags but also sections and subforums would be a lot more effective than the reddit set up we have now for segregating the information in such a way as you could easily find what youre looking to read about with out being exposed to stuff you find distasteful.

Yes, I know what you mean, and I do think steemit should put something in place so you aren't seeing something you don't want,like you I am just suggesting what I think is best, I dont' really like flagging so I think there should be an alternative for the users.
