RE: WHERE TO FIND LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE?
Cool! Is this your initiative? Also, can you elaborate on this:
Also you can't really be personal in some post's comments and have a normal conversation here, because anybody could see that and use the information to his advantage to maybe even blackmail you later!
I thought the idea of steemit was to foster authenticity, while building a community. In what ways have steemit users been blackmailed in the past? Or have been threatened by using content against them?
Hey shalala,
the initiative is created by @rawbin-hutt. :)
And now onto the elaboration. You really got me thinking shalala. What I meant by that is that if you put your home address into some post's comment it will always stay in a blockchain forever and everybody can use that for their advantage later (you can be very rich later for example). You really can't know what people are able to do when they are depressed, drugged or just having a bad day.
Also there were some really "big" steemians who put their active key onto the memo when they sent their money to their bittrex account. It really could be used for some malicious stuff, but good people caught this first. changed the keys and give the accounts back to the rightful owners.
Also some people are not really flagged for doing bad things on the platform, but just because there is something more personal between these people. For example ned versus officialfuzzy.
Did I answer your question shalala? I really appreciate you. Thanks!
