" If you and @haejin's trolls could quit screaming at everyone around the platform that would be great."

We are not the ones causing problems. I am merely defending someone who has helped me.

I understand how the steem system works, but that doesn't mean it is perfect and couldn't be improved. @berniesanders calling haejin followers "shills" who are ruining the system (while he is using the same 10 accounts to spam massive downvotes on anyone he disagrees with) is incentivizing the same people to continue flagging bernie. It has also created a two sided argument, where everyone is either pro bernie or pro haejin.

If we can show that the system is broken, perhaps it can be fixed. If steem wants to be a decentralized social platform, there needs to be no avenue of censorship. They could remove flagging, or remove the hide post function. While the idea of money behind posts produces good content, the two sided arguments flagging creates is causes anarchy and meaningless content. Half of bernie's posts in the past two weeks have been low effort whining about haejin. Half of haejin's posts have been complaining about bernie.

Shouldn't we all simply want better content?
