RE: "Code Is Law (Only When I Want, Otherwise It's Abuse)" - The Shaming Syndicate Of Steemit - Our Own Brand of SJWs & Social Repression
Perfect!
This is the best article about Steemit, went straight to the point, without talk to please the whales.
I only read truths, and that's why every day Steem loses more value.
The project initially aimed to bring freedom to the individual, but what we observe more and more is that a minority wants to control everything. The more the situation gets worse, the more they invent other motives to further control and make the situation worse.
This reminds me a lot of socialism, where state control leaves the population poorer, then the state blames the capitalist and starts to control the economy more, worsening the situation more and more.
Congratulations, you are a true Steemian.
" but what we observe more and more is that a minority wants to control everything."
This isn't necessarily bad. Mob rule isn't great either. I'm not arguing for Steem communism.
What I don't like is the hostile nature of this platform, and the failure to attempt to help new users genuinely into success, creating a feedback loop of new users quitting and the site losing engagement. I also don't like the nebulous cultural shaming attached to behavior, rendering the place a minefield for new users like @laurabanfield, who had the audacity to marry a man who tries to sell things for a profit.
Thank you for the effusive praise.
You show balance in your judgement @lexiconical, if someday you decide to run for witness let me know, I'll support you and help spread the word amongst us newbies.
I notice that as well...the underling whale smooching people do...some folks have no shame...truth will win in the end.,,,... and that might be the wave that washes out the Steem ecosystem
I don't know ... maybe is better to create a "new steem" ... maybe ...
Why do that, when you can simply check:
@newsteem
(Shameless plug for a friend.)
Hahahahahaha
Good job! Thanks to @lexiconical you have planted 0.13 tree to save Abongphen Highland Forest in Cameroon. Help me to plant 1,000,000 trees and share my Steem Power to the others. Selfvoting is prohibited, but that should be the reason to spread the world to protect our precious environment. Check out profile of our conservation association @kedjom-keku and the founder/coordinator @martin.mikes to get more information about our conservation program. My current SP is 14274.09. Help me to plant more trees with your delegated SP.
Thanks a lot,
your @treeplanter
