RE: Suggestions on how we can improve Steem.
I can't see a way around enforcing manual voting. Autovoting promotes and enables a lot of things that are very destructive to Steem.
The curation window needs to be changed. It's unreasonable. This is not enough time to properly look at a post. What this tiny curation window incentivizes is "mindless" voting. Voting for the sake of voting, or voting for profit. Voting for profit will inevitably degrade the quality of the content here on Steem. If we want Steem to thrive me should have a vested interest in promoting quality content.
For me, voting a supportive comment was paramount to "basic etiquette". It was culturally appropriate for me to do so. I was being polite. The idea that we are somehow punished for voting on a comment or post that pays out less than 20 Steem is outrageous. If that is what is culturally, morally appropriate for me to do, then it should be fine. Also, when we look at things in terms of promoting a sense of community, this type of rule is completely counterintuitive. I personally believe that interacting with people who interact with me is what forges bonds, and a sense of community between us all. From my perspective such actions unify us all.
And yes, since I unfollowed everyone yesterday, and made this post people have been unfollowing me in droves.
But what can I do? I was accused of colluding with "the enemy" because I voted the wrong person and possibly followed the wrong person. Having not been given further information as to who the guilty parties were, I don't personally feel I am left with any other choice. As much as I want to look out for the interests of others, I must also act in my best interest, I must protect myself and my reputation.
Hahaha @ the shoes comment. I still am a minimalist and only own two pairs of shoes. Sandals and shoes. XP
Have a great day @davidke20. Thanks for taking the time to read and leave some feedback. The 20Steem rule was new for me. I had no idea.
And therefore, I rather GIVE steem as a gift than VOTE !tip
Trololol
Thanks for the tip @davidke20
That's a great idea, I like it. However, could it potentially lead to blacklisting as well? I have to wonder, since not everything here is logical(unfortunately). I will look into tipu. I'm really on the fence right now as to whether or not I want to stay. I hate the way I was treated.
I've already got past that stage. Whether or not steem will survive is another story. I liked the people I'm dealing with, even the people I hate, I like. More like I liked to hate them or I hated that I like them 😂 there are assholes whom always being huge bullies, @steemcleaners is one of them. From what I see, you're probably not being in the crossfire, but bark up the wrong tree. It could be @akiraq and they shoot at the wrong person 😂 take a chill pill. Enjoy the people surrounding us, forget about the idiots. Let's see what the new government is going to do
!popcorn !shop
I'm hopeful that with the new changes, there will be changes for the better. I should stick it out to see what happens next. Townhall meeting is: tentatively set for Wednesday, March 4th at 9 pm PST. I am interested to see what will happen next. We all have a vested interest in improving the value of Steem.
No, I don't necessarily "hate" anyone, but I do hate injustice. Whether by accident or on purpose, branding someone guilty like that is just not right. It just isn't.
I don't think I am "off" at all in what I have said. Everything I said was based on what was said to me in response to my questions(or public knowledge). I didn't just pull these things out of a hat. I don't think I am "barking up the wrong tree".
In my culture, being told to take a "chill pill" when addressing something serious and advocating for change(for the better) can be viewed as an insult to a person's intellect. I will assume that was not your intention. I will assume you are trying to instill "hope" and telling me you have faith that things will work out.
Yeah, we can all bring our popcorn on the 4th. But seriously, I hope very much for some positive change. I know it is possible!
Thanks @davidke20!
Ah... Pardon my Engrish. I meant THEY barked at the wrong tree 😂
And, the chill pill think, got no intention of insult at all. Was just going to ask you to chill it out 😁
To me, any change is a change, good or bad. In the end, it's just powers fighting against power, and we the crypto civilian are taking the toll regardless. Who allows the curation windows dropped to 15mins, and then 5? The top 20. Who proposed to cut the power down to 4 weeks? Again the top 20. Now with the new top 20(or 20 in one) deciding to down to 24 hours 😂 My guess is, they are(or he is) going to fork first, talk later! Apologize on the wrong expression. Engrish too powderful😅
Ah yes, I was in no mood to be trifled with when I discovered I had been blacklisted. Haha. They likely would have thought twice about doing it if they had known me a bit better. I won't let people treat me like that.
Thank you, I understand now. Yes, English is a difficult language, I agree. It is also my second language. There is a lot of slang. It can be very confusing.
Yes, the top 20 have a lot of power. I wish we all had more say. I think many of us have valuable input. But few care to listen. I am hoping that will change. It is no accident that we are sitting at 17 cents.
Thank you @davidke20
