RE: Cyber bullying and the centralization of power on Steem

in #community7 years ago

@nutela, we know each other a little, and I feel that we have had very respectable interactions with one another.

I feel strongly that your post is biased against berniesanders and distinctly 'pro' Paul - chiefmappster, regardless of your claims to not have a personal opinion on the current controversy.

Even I have heard the stories surrounding berniesanders and their loss of reputation. Of their flagrant flagging and 'attacks'. And then, as I presume intelligent adults like me do, I asked questions of people whom I respect, and listened to their thoughts and opinions on the subject.

Then I waited and watched. Paul first threatened and bullied a mutual friend, then both of us - his partners. Over and over again, Paul has left a trail of hurt. He has lied, stolen and bullied.

berniesanders doesn't know me. However, they are currently standing up for me and for other minnows like me who might be taken advantage of by someone like Paul (chiefmappster), just as you hoped whales would in your post.

I hope you can rethink your post and your (not)stance on the paul/bernie situation.

Sort:  

I'm not going to rethink anything because it's crystal clear that all of you guys are making a mess. Is it somebody's fault? Sure could be. Do I blame somebody? No of course not.

I'm just saying we need better tools!

  • If someone is promising anything, well don't promise but put your money where your mouth is i.e. use escrow and put the funds there.
  • If someone is attacking you for whatever reason, will it solve the problem? I don't think so. Solving the problem could be having good rules and enforcement. Like I said before make it trustless.
  • For instance in Australia they will take your welfare away if you don't vaccinate your children, even if it is against your will. Someone having the power to take your money away if you don't obey, is scary! Whoever it is, a scammer or an enforcer, you need a way to do business in a straighforward and honest way. You can't expect anything because you'll be dissapointed sooner or later. We need good rules and tools which can prevent such things. Can you envision some of them?
  • How can we know who is right? Don't we have a blockchain? Let's use it! But we could use some easy to use analytics tools.
  • How can you know I'm strongly biased? You don't. However you should have methods so that you cannot be hurt, can you think of such methods? How could the blockchain help you? And how could the community? I'll bet you the most of the community doesn't want to dig into who is right or wrong? Why? Because it's not productive.

All I want is something that works and happy people. So how can we create that? Together?
