RE: Steemit Users Flagged For Disagreement of Rewards? WTF? @tremendospercy & @steemtruth

in #abuse6 years ago (edited)

Steemit's fight arena yeah I want to see blood,

Seriously the site says it all even before you join MONEY TALKS. The flag system is primitive. The steem blockchain is all about democracy and delegation :

Witnesses are responsible and rewarded for generating blocks which are then added to the blockchain. Stakeholders can vote for as many witnesses as they wish, so long as, at least 50% of the stakeholders believe sufficient decentralization has been achieved through the number of elected witnesses.

Now Steemit is centralized and is based on a very basic algorithym forget DPOS fancy shit for a second and look at steemit for what it is.. a WCMS a Wallet Content Management System that lacks of modern CMS and lack of DPOS and decentralisation.

This war is based on stakes. Steemit has no democratic configuration it's steem that does with DPOS. But steem deals with blocks while steemit deals with content, The flag logic is very simple, too simple :

Upvote++ vs Downvote--

That's it! it's a matter of stake size and conflicting opinions. How primitive is that ??? we are judging content by personnal opinion and not by value of the conversation and the amount of research done on it which ultimately sanction great authors. It's OK to disagree, it's actually good to share opposite opinions and argue your point but because of this primitive system of flagging we can see behaviours of "who's got the bigger dick..oups I mean stake" taking place without a Proof that post doesn't deserve it's reward.
Now if a few big SP come and upvote shit or downvote shit it's the most primitive capitalism that wins you call that freedom of choice ???. MONEY TALK remember, not freedom MONEY....

Steemit is too primitive for the blockchain that's the truth. Steemit lack a lot of CMS features and ANY web dev can tell you this. We are actually sharing great contents treamendous amount of dedication on a steem Wallet with a "wanna be" CMS and everyone is complaining not about the wallet but the CMS...

Now some sort of a DPOC should be put in place. Delegated Proof of Content that would give leverage to genuine members who proved their work in the community, you could disagree with the content but without a consensus of the community you shouldn't be able to affect the rewards without good reasons and it shouldn't be based just on your SP but also with the value of the conversation among all the participants. If known members upvote a post then we should see a delegation that protect the content in case of disagreement with another party. May be We should delegate SBD on a post like many here delegated SP to leverage the content and would last 7 days ???

Consensus and community should be involve in those politics, I don't have all the answers but by sharing fucking common sense we can get through that and stop this immature behavior to spread on here.

Sort:  

I totally agree! So how can this get implemented? This would be the dev's with witness approval?

Thanks @hendrix22, btw I forgot to mention great article ;), now one basic decision without major technical change is to make comments mandatory to be able to flag members above a chosen rep number. and by comment I mean a comment not just a shit one just for the sake of it but a clear explaination of why you are flagging. At the moment the REP number is only usefull to know which ass you want to lick to get upvotes (It sad but it's true). The REP number is or could be a good indicator of the person's commitment to the platform but has no leverage on it. This number should have a better meaning on what it's like to commit on steemit and a redesign of it is necessary.

If you want to flag without commenting then a 50% downvote would be the maximum authorised.
So far @berniesanders is doing what he can with his whale stake to control this but as much as I can agree with this it shouldn't fall on whales to dictate the contents. OK it's great to invest with money but that shouldn't be the main leverage on the content that everyone else is investing in.
My screen time is limited I'll come back to it cheers!
