RE: Porn on Steemit - how to deal with it?
Yep. In my opinion porn should be kept off Steemit. There are other places to post it, like porn hub or Reddit for that matter. I don't think people should have to be tolerant of everything.
If that be the case, and someone is intolerant of the things you elect to post, are you going to be as accepting of their position...I only ask because most people who do NOT believe people should be tolerant of everything, usually expect others to be tolerant of what they find acceptable. I am in no way attempting to start an argument or debate, just food for thought.
No, I am ok with people not liking or accepting my point of view or being tolerant of what I post. Just because someone doesn't agree with me doesn't necessarily mean they are against me, it simply means our point of view is different.
"I don't think people should have to be tolerant of everything". You are right. By example, I don't tolerate bigots. Who decides what is the limit? Why should people tolerate you, by example?
You don't have to be tolerant of me at all. I don't think it means a person is a bigot because they choose not to accept everything that is out there. We all having different views on things and we will never all agree on everything. That doesn't mean we are being intolerant, it means our opinions differ.
The point is not that you have "a different opinion". The problem is that you want steemit to work according with your opinion. Which is why I call you a bigot. Now, steemit has a nice button which is "MUTE". So if you do not like people posting porn, just mute them, and you will never see it. This would be your solution, if the problem was being of a different opinion. But, instead of using the "MUTE" button to quit porn, you are trying to make the whole steemit to obey your opinion forbidding porn. Which is what I call "a bigot". And no, I am not forced to tolerate bigots. This is why I am gonna mute you , just to say. This is because you claim to have "just a different opinion", where actually you want YOUR opinion to apply to the whole social network. Never read you again... I am not tolerating bigots at all.
Here's the problem with sites such as the ones you mentioned:
A better solution would be a parental control filter option. Other than that, people will search for their interests, no sense in censoring (centralizing, prohibiting) content to drive it into the realm of taboo.
