Thank you attending the meet up last night. I found it rather energizing to meet up again with enthusiastic people again, and as always the ability to glean new hints and tips.
I think that downvote bot abuse, let’s call it what it is, is just as bad as upvote bot abuse.
A manually curated downvote is a different thing as it requires thought, whereas, to attack people because they have SBI tokens, or just because their downvote percentage had hit 100% is pretty low.
How is that good for mass adoption? It isn’t.
I don’t know how to implement it, but I think that downvoting needs some sort of proof that you’re human, or even an “Are you sure?” style question asked. It’s not ideal.
The innocent @tts bot, that translates text to speech, is being unfairly attacked in my opinion.
Sure, it’s a bot, but something that helps deaf people access the block-chain? How is that a bad actor?
Yes, it was pretty hot last night but was glad I went and caught up with everyone as it has been a while. It's hard to believe we've been doing that for two years now!
There's loads of things wrong with steem and bots are one of them as you say. I guess it's a sign of the times that humans want someone (something) else to do the work. What is tts getting attacked for? I didn't know that was happening.
I think the downvote bots are programmed to attack any bot that they consider to be spamming.
But I have seen a few people-based accounts downvoting it too, so I am not entirely sure.
