Yeah, get the control away from governments, as long as rational just laws are employed ;)
Thanks, not sure how long I'll be back... the flags will persist I suspect, and I don't like being treated like shit by one single-handed ruler of who decides who gets to keep their rewards, in a so-called "community". I was posting when the price was at all time lows, and stopped when the price started going up. Integrity hurts the wallet sometimes :P Many people stopped posting when the price went down, now they all of a sudden come back because the price is right.
The flagging seems to be slowly dying down... "the usual suspects" occasionally still have their little skirmishes, but with 1000+ new accounts coming onboard daily they become more and more isolated. "Reward Pool Rape" remains a thing. We'll see what HF.19 brings...
But I commend you for thinking with your values, rather than your wallet.
All that is required is one person with lots of SP (bernie), not liking someone (me), and then flagging all their posts just because they can. This is still ongoing. I don't doubt it has stopped for pretty much everyone else lol.
"Equality" HF is a joke. Lower accounts will go up a bit, but the rich plutocratic rulers will still rule, and that will mean the abuse of power I endure will persist. No justice, just more abuse of power to remove rewards from someone allegedly being "over rewarded" while pumping up other posts. bernie vote son people up to $1500, but my $80 is "overrewarded" to him. He single handedly controls who can get to keep their rewards. He cheated the no-whale rule by sock-puppetting his whale power and just vote with 5 accounts instead of just 1.
Meanwhile, he uses that sock puppet whale power to flag me and remove my rewards that supporters allocated. I can't use Steemit like others can. Upvoters "buy" my product and allocate rewards, but a rich guy comes along to "unbuy" what others have "bought" and taking the rewards the allocate away. That is a form of abuse of power and censorship to keep me down.
