RE: The Sunday Purge #3: Is Flagging the Solution to Abuse?
Unfortunately there is another dimension to flagging that can get into the abuse of power. This is when you flag something then the flagged user starts retaliatory flagging. This becomes a problem if the user you're flagging actually has more power on Steemit.
That is true. Sadly, people can't set their emotions aside when they are dealing with stuff like this, but I think it will get better soon. :D
It's dangerous for a soldier to flag a captain or admiral. If you're a minnow, it's best to leave the whale flagging to other whales. Fortunately I don't see many whales being objectionable.
The last thing I want to see is some SJW or feminist flagging my post because it upset their feelings. Which is exactly what is happening on Twitter and YouTube.
Uh, that would be nasty. Let's hope it won't happen. ;)
