RE: Can we have downvotes and at the same time prevent 'flag wars'?
I know you are in favour of that.
The problem which I see is where the value of all these (or at least some) SMTs would come from?
In case the SMT rewards had no real value, then I wonder what the motivation for the average user could be to change for example from facebook to STEEM?
I came here first because of "Censorship-Resistance". Maybe Hive will go full censorship-resistent and will skip all rewards because they will have no funds, and Steem goes to content rewarding for cat photo posts, but everybody knows they will censor non-cat content.
Yes, of course there can be several motives why to join a blockchain based social media platform.
Here I was only considering the topic from the perspective of what would contribute to or delay/prevent mass adoption of STEEM and the possibility to earn money there.
HIVE has its fascinating aspects, but I dislike the behavior of part of its leaders ... So I cannot do much more than waiting and see how things will develop on both sides of the big rift.
Maybe, as you said, both networks will occupy different niches of the crypto universe, aiming for different target audiences and thus will coexist in future.
Would be very cool if the could coexist peaceful.
Let's hope for this !
In the end for me is the question if downvoting content whom you don't like (I mean not something what is against law or other things like discussed in this post) is not similiar with censorship or at least close to them. And to let people not write something (even not in their own blog) cause they have not enough ressource credits is also near to censorship.
Very good point !
If he can write at facebook as much as he want and at steem he is strongly limited cause of resource credits and he has even no change (except to put money in the system) to change this when he cannot earn rewards to increase his steempower.
