Trump Twitter Ban
There is talk about twitter banning Trump.
Could this lead to mass exodus to steemit?
I'm thinking this might be the time to advertise to twitter users.
Tell them conservatives aren't banned or censored here.
Could be another twexit like with milo.
Remember what that jump in value and users was like?
Could be really good for steemt if twitter bans trump.

mass exodus? lololol SO very utterly doubtful.
well twitter is dying and they have to go somewhere. it happened before, that's why im here. twexit brought a lot of people. unfornatly because of the flagging system they don't stay though. It is only a matter of time till most the people on twitter leave I imo.
a steeming pile of president could be good for the community.
LOL
After Jan 21st Trump doesn't need Twitter anymore. He will have Whitehouse.gov to make as many statements as he likes to the American People.
like anyone uses that site.
lol
They will if he moves to that platform. People follow the person not the platform. These platforms are powerless to stop a mass exodus.
not true, I came here because of twexit and milo didn't come here. same with sealion.club. milo didn't go there either.
That's like saying the people that are boycotting kellogs wont eat any other cerieal unless trump eats the same cerieal.
:/
I was thinking the same thing.
the point i'm trying to make is that the people build the platform and not the other way around.
well I would also dsagree with that. I would think most the people hate the flagging setu and most people that have left have been because of that. the makers of steemit abuse it too and don't plan on changing it. the people have been yelling about it before leaving like crazy. but the people don't build the platform so no matter how much they yell about it, it doesn't matter.
The people trying to make this platfor by flagging are the reason steemit is dying too. but I was trying to be positive and pretend that their might be a comical positive view to the ever ongoing slow death of steemit.
I do think if trup is banned from twitter there will be a boycott from it and in te end the people that boycott twitter will need a new social media to use. We could be talking about 10's of thousands of new members a day if people knew there was an alternative to twitter.
Probem would be to keep the flaggots from flagging new members so they don't leave.
IMO atleast
I agree with you on flagging. #steemitnazis
LOL!
Someone needs to meme that so it says steem not soup.
really. thats crazy. The ceo of Twitter should be banned for altering users posts. That is true evil when it comes to social media. I hoe steemit doesn't become a politics website. some is ok. but not overwhelming.
I think it would be grat if they fixed the stupid flagging problem. they wont though. at best we cn hope for a huge influx like last time then a slow death of new users as they leave because of the abuse of the flag. Steemit is doomed to die imo because it is allowing idiots to censor people. but that's a whole different conversation.
The nice thing about steemit is its controlled by the majority (of steem power) and the people can flag hate speech. Its the only platform where the users can actually silence hate using anarchistic principles. Based on my observations; there are only a couple bully whales here but those particular bully whales are actually not racists or bigots, just abusive with their steem.
So if they come, have a bad time, they will leave.
I disagree.
Everyone says (insert keyword here) stuff to someone. and at the same time that is why steemit (twitter and facebook)is dying. Censoring anyone for any reason is bad. But what do I know I only watched everyone I came here with leave and everyone I have gotten to join got flagged to shit and left.
Denial is not just a river in Egypt.
This I believe to be the truth and what I have witnessed over and over with new users.
Democracy is not an Anarchist principle, in fact it's quite the opposite, ever heard of "Tyranny of the majority"? I am genuinely concerned about what affect voting blocs will have on this platform, but I'm interested in seeing what will happen regardless. Like Bitcoin, Steemit should be regarded as something very experimental.
While I would take something like direct democracy over any other form of government, it's still an issue that large numbers of people can use their governments to attack small groups or individuals.
i would defend myself against direct democracy
I understand what you're saying. I disagree though because steemit is truly the epitome of anarchy. in the sense that those with muscle (steempower) are the gods. If you're friends with them you can login, post your latest fart and make $20. while those who pour their heart into a post make often get less than a penny.
It's not fair! but fuck.. life isn't fair, so how to complain. just wait for the next best thing. It will come soon. sooner than later.
BlockChain will improve in the near future.. Steemit does not own blockchain tech, anyone can use it. Someone soon will find a way to make it better. Hell, compared to steemit it can only get better.
When it does get better they will post about it here, you and I will among the first to know. May take a year but it will come. this platform is poor example of blochchains potential.
Steemit has attracted some of the smartest people on the internet, they mostly all left.
Eventually, probably in a year or so, the next best thing will come along for us to complain about. Enjoy while it last. Hopefully they last longer.
My regret for the past 4 months is dedicating so much of my time here for for pennies. yes, pennies.. Welfare would have paid more. Luckily I have a job and savings.. Sucks for those invested $1000+US to make a few pennies daily.
Anarchy is just a nice word to say that you are completely at the mercy of the first organized power to step on your property.
Yeah this instills fear the platform will never gain traction. :/
upvoted :D
