RE: Why Steemit Chat should be discontinued as Official Platform of Steemit
Because of such rampant presence of scammers, I became over-cautious of all new messages from people who are contacting me for the first time here. I tend to ignore them and give them the least priority. Sometimes my attitude is not very friendly while chatting with them.
Yes, exactly! That's how I handle private chats there aswell. Sometimes, it turns out I've been overly mean to someone with good intentions, but overall, the intentions are either self-serving, spammy or scammy.
I feel ya @playfulfoodie! That's very undesirable outcome in our behaviour because of these spammy scammers. I hate myself and feel very uncomfortable when a good meaning person contacts me and I take that to be a scammer initially. But can't help it as our past experiences shapes our future behaviour towards everyone.
