RE: Obsessive Downvoting /Tagging Posts- A Method of Silencing & Censoring Curators on Steemit
There is some content that should be flagged (people using other's work to make money for example), but most of the things we disagree with should simply be ignored.
There is a great deal of material on Steemit I consider nonsense. Sometimes I engage with it for the entertainment it brings me in the moment, other times I roll my eyes and ignore it. Just because we disagree with someone's views shouldn't inspire us to try to censor them. Everyone deserves to be heard whether accurate or ridiculous.
Racism, anti-semitism, anti-anything is often an unpopular view. I can see reasons for having unpopular opinions whether or not I agree with them. If someone is inciting violence because of their "anti" views, they probably should be censored, otherwise start a conversation to find out how to come to a common mind ... flagging out of "disagreement" is pretty harsh.
Absolutely, and I know for a fact that they disagree with my views and that's the sole reason for their downvotes that's why I brought it up.
