FFF-SOS Has Infiltrated Steemit!

in #life6 years ago (edited)

Adopt the Creed, Take the Road Less Traveled.

FFF-SOS is a decentralized foundation of freedom oriented Steem activists. You can be a member of the 'Foundation For Free Speech On SteemitⓀ' just put the abbreviation in your about me, or location. If someone asks you about it, explain to them why you are a member! We shall know each other by our fancy, yet apt, initialism!

People in FFF-SOS only upvote on Steemit, we upvote on the content we appreciate. The things we do not appreciate we either ignore, or leave comments about, and engage in healthy debate. We do this because we value the non-aggression principle, and think that down-voting on Steemit is a spiritual violation of that principle.

FFF-SOS members passionately believe in self-defense. If you downvote our posts in an attempt to censor what we say, then we reserve the right to retaliate by doing the same thing to your posts. We may do this as individuals at first, however, we may also at times retaliate as a collective, or in groups, on a voluntary basis.

FFF-SOS members may also respond to censorship, by upvoting censored posts or comments. You do not need to wear the tag to be an FFF-SOS member, or to adopt it's principles. Simply go about your Steemit-life doing the right thing. Adhere to the NAP, in both deed, and in spirit!

Sleeper Memebers

Steemit, since it's inception has been chock-full of FFF-SOS sleeper agents silently waiting for that day that someone calls shenanigans on Steemit's soft-censorship (flagging tool). Well today is that day, and you can now consider yourselves activated!

A wonderful initiative!

I am #FFF-SOS, I am #Humanity!

I just found myself in my greatest sense. Thanks @thoughts-in-time! This is in a right time!

@thoughts-in-time,

Paraphrasing the Dali, "First be kind. If you can't, don't make it worse!"

That's why I am a Bhuddist (although, obviously NOT a devout one - by any means!).

May you and yours be well and love life today.

Namaste, my friend.

How do you organize, and communicate who's, based on members's assessment, is a threat to free speech?

Anyone who is a self-proclaimed member that wants to organize can do so in any way that they choose. If you'd like to suggest ideas here, you certainly can. Or you can make your own post about it. The important thing is staying true to the tenants of voluntarism.

Also, if their are bullshitters who are faking it, we should use our freedom of speech to call them out peacefully. Maybe the FFF-SOS can be used as a tag kind of like a bat signal and we members could check on that tag daily?

It will be some time before their are enough members to engage in any retaliatory downvotes. But who knows, some dolphins and whales might be early adopters.

I don't think that there should be a collective shot caller per se. People need to make up their own minds about downvote retaliation, based on how well a person who has been abused can state their case. If you wanted to form a method of communication you certainly can, and people if they want to they can choose to join you there.

If you've any ideas you'd care to contribute, everyone would be pleased to hear what you have to say on the matter.

: ) thanks for the thoughtful questions @uv10!

Another idea is retaliatory up-votes instead of retaliatory down-votes. In many cases, that might prove to be even more effective! Each member gets to choose how, and if they will respond to anything.

Count me in! What a great initiative. Well done 👍

I agree with most of what you are saying - did you put those ideas in my head?
Was I a sleeper agent? Would I have know if I was?

Nice meme! - We have a contest about a specific type of meme happening over at this link, feel free to join in the fun!

Love it! Thanks for sending me over here. Keep it up!

Agreed. The platform needs more NAP. #FFF-SOS. Have you guys checked out we-resist? (See firedream's post.)

Thank you @tibra, I shall check it out!
