Lol, I'm just trying to make waves so that maybe a whale will buy my silence,...
Downvoting is a necessary evil, I'm not sure that this is good way to use it, but I certainly support his activism.
I can't be a witness, I don't have the coding skillz.
Mine stopped advancing on the TI-99 4A when I left for the army.
Do you support my activism? I literally made a post about how i got Steemit coverage among thousands of people who are looking for censorship free alternatives to reddit and other platforms. It was the culmination of MONTHS of outreach and getting shot down by other players in the space...and i got on here to spend 6 hours detailing WHY STEEM is UNDERVALUED (censorship resistance) and then @abit downvotes it? Punishing me for getting upvotes from whales who actually appreciate me reaching out to these people...
Maybe i shouldnt reach out to people? That is my response. Maybe i shouldnt use my expertise and beyondbitcoin brand to help steem since i can get attacked like this? Maybe i should warn others as well?
This is the kind of response you get to half assed attempts to redistribute wealth. I have no incentive to use what i have earned to help steem if steem will shit on my amazingly taxing efforts....
Flagging IS a necessary evil...to be used ONLY in cases when someone has BLATANTLY misused the platform. Everyone who pays attention to my posts will realize i dont misuse the damn platform....and the whales who follow and support me do so because they have learned what kind of person i am AND KNOW MY WORK IS VALUABLE!
What this is...is an unnecessary evil. If you need more clues why...ask me if i plan to tell more people about steem as THE place to go when censored by other platforms. Instead...if this persists, i will just get a second job where abit cant demote me and my work. Sure its in his power, but he and all other whales should really consider if its good for steem. Hint: kilking the oaks that have weathered past storms is usually a BAD idea.
Flagging is used for blatant misuse (child porn and other extremely illegal/damaging behaviors).
THIS flagging war (errr...i mean "test") is blatant misuse of the platform.
As for the witness, dont thibk its above your capabilities as it definitely is not if you are willing to take 20 or 30 hours to realllly learn. You DONT need coding skills to be a witness. All you need is to set up the software and let it run on a protected system....(and have a backup in case something odd happens to force you to restart your witness).
