RE: Steemit is not Steem: decentralized confusion and messy success
Interesting post.
I like it when you clarify:
The blockchain doesn’t sensor content.
I think its good to repeatedly clarify what flags do and what they don’t do. People can flag stuff so it “says hidden”, but if you click on it, it’s there. The blockchain insures it’s always there. The flags can remove money and visibility from a post, but others can return money to a post. It is possible to change a hidden post to a visible post, if people upvote it. It’s scary, risky and unwise to engage in flag wars with those more powerful then yourself, but in theory we can all upvote that which was downvoted.
I like that you clarify that Steem is a backbone upon which we build Applications which add to our community. Our community changes depending on the changes we make. It reflects the preferences of the majority. It becomes predominantly Steemit when that is our greatest numerical use of it, but that would change if the majority use it for SteemMonsters or different yet again if the majority use it for Actifit. The most widely used application becomes the “face” of the blockchain. But the blockchain is multipotentiate. It can be many things to many people and at the same time.
I think it’s amazing. 😊👏
Don't even need to be upvoted. The wars are only relevant when it comes to the payout, not the content itself. an interface could show all hidden content and people could get flagged so they never earn but, there it will be, visible and immutable.
It is a much freer free market than what many think are a free market.
So do I.
yep
