RE: ✴️ ABUSE ON STEEMIT... WHAT CAN WE DO? SPAM, VOTING ABUSE, REWARD POOL RAPE, DRAMA, AND FLAGS!
It's a hard thing to fix. Much smarter minds than me have spent much larger amounts of time than me trying to resolve it. People with much more Steem power are out there counter voting it right now.. I feel like Dan might have been on the right track to fixing it, he said he wanted to make 3 changes to Steem, but ned didn't agree.. here is what Dan said in a comment one of his posts the other day, he said if these were implemented Steem would be much better "Identity validation, vote canceling, dispute resolution, bonded behavior, n2 reward curve." .. I think that's as the creator of the blockchain, he is probably most capable of seeing the flaws, but ned and Steemit own the Steem blockchain unless I'm mistaken.. they paid Dan to create it, it is theirs to do with as they please from the comments ned has made.and this is the direction him and tlsteemit inc has decided to go
He was pro whale pro inequality dev.
Dont make a cult of him.
bronevik. I am not making a cult of him.. but pretend Joe nobody said that those things would fix steemit and look at the suggestions.. Would they help? Or will what Ned and Steemit is doing help more?
Steemit would not exist without Dan L, he said himself the distribution of Steemit sucked.. It was a mistake, a lesson for him to learn from.. If you go back and dig up the posts on the POW days of steemit, it was a complete failure. The fact it still stands today should show the strength of the idea, and of the blockchain..
If a coin were to come through and say airdrop tokens in a more fair distribution, run on a better blockchain, and have better voting mechanisms in place.. Steem might be in a heap of trouble. Not that it will die, but it will become Myspace. This is just commonsense talking. No cult of Dan necessary..
Its funny when I defend steemit people say im in the cult of dan, when I dont defend Steemit's bad choices on Steemit.. Im in the cult of Dan. People outside of Steemit think Steemit is the headquarters of the cult of Dan. Here on Steemit questioning how to make it better, means your in the cult of Dan.. Unavoidably in the cult of Dan I guess
Well in order to not be in a cult change all "dan said something" to "i'm saying something because of reason and evidence".
Should help.
Well I initially started with smarter people than me have tried. So I was giving an example of a smarter person than me who tried. But I get what you are saying. Noted, and thanks for the conversation.
Yeah, that was in the past. As we are getting stats and now have the data, things on steemit can be adjusted and fixed.lets see what happens in a few months with the hardfork, thanks boss for stopping by 💪🏼🙌🏼😀💯
Too bad the new hard fork doesn't look too promising as far as fixing anything serious. One account per person and vote strength of square root n or something similar, under linear, would be nice to try out. Might even actually have a user retention length longer than a few days on average lol. Reducing the strength of repeat votes to the same accounts would go a long way in helping things along as well. There are tons of suggestions to fix voting that would be for the benefit of steemit's growth but they're not really enticing to the people who already have all the power, and why would they let that power go if they're making money right now.
Im also excited for communities coming. Should shake things up a bit.. We are still in Beta so things can get better!
