RE: So do you want to be treated equal? Of Potty Mouthism, Racism, Sexism, Whaleism, etc
I like your approach in the post about all points but I would like to take it a bit further and say that we need to make our lives here matter...and to do that we need to take positive, productive actions.
We are finally given an opportunity:
- to say what we think without anyone's power to censor us
- to build concepts along with the ones that think like us and who may be in the same neighborhood or halfway around the world, it wouldn't matter
- to join one initiative or the other where we best fit and can provide the ultimate results based on our skills
It is best and most efficient if we stop complaining, moaning and ranting about how unfair things may be for us. Get over it, or Steemit will get over you.
Beta or no beta, we are still the ones that built Steemit. Never underestimate the power of the community.
Oh this was not purely about steemit. That was simply one example. The reason I framed it as a product in beta with 1% is I see very similar complaints from a lot of beta projects that open their doors to the public. As a game developer (indie on the side) I pay a lot of attention to it because, it happens a lot with games when people open the doors to the public. A lot of people do not know what beta means so they treat it like a finished project and complain as though they were sold something finished.
Like I said though that was a single bullet point within that entire document.
As far as anyone's power to censor us.
I agree with three exceptions:
I am the one advocating for the removal of down votes completely. I think our community would work fine without them and be a more positive place. Yet we would still need a mechanism to tag things for those three cases.
As far as complaining in beta. We should... yet try to keep it constructive. As I view such complaints as kind of like being a bug report.
