It was this paragraph that I wrote in "green hair" that I feel echoes your sentiments:
Just as I despise hair salon gossip, I do NOT enjoy mud slinging on Steemit. I suppose anywhere groups of people congregate discord is bound to occur, but just an idea - let's not reward it. Flagging and downvoting is equally ridiculous. If you don't like something, move swiftly along. I've followed some accounts, and on seeing posts from those accounts that I found offensive, simply unfollowed them, problem solved. Obviously measures will be needed to guard against plagiarism, but the spate of spite downvoting is disheartening. It would have definitely put me off the platform if that had happened to me when I first began.
Lol I saw that, but I thought you meant a whole blog posting. Anyways yes these are great thoughts and I'm glad to see we're on the same wavelength!
