RE: Steemit Self Defence Meme #2
livemoral and livehonest are mine. They were inspired as a countermeasure against control freak flaggers. Tho my name is being placed on abuse reports by steemcleaners and others in their posts, I do have followers that understand me because they take the time to talk to me and understand that I am a real person and not a piece of trash to just silence. There has been much talk of the new network and the flagging. It is unstable at the moment apparently by the spamming and the flagging capabilities. Until the system is changed, people are forced and new users such as myself that came to create as an artist, to go to usable and available measures to have a voice. It is no secret that some abuse the steempower they posess. And use it to control what and who is seen. The network cannot go around labeling people like a real monster tho in the name and expect any other type of results. I like others, am but a product of what has happened to me since I have been here on steemit. Being a person, and being strong...this is what I do tho others clearly see it another way about the network, nevermind the people driving the blogs right. I stand in the way that I can to be heard. It's as easy as my name was tagged here, so I get to come tell my story somewhere that maybe the world can see. Because on my blog all is gone, all taken and washed away by the very people we helped to empower. This is like a steemit bad presidency. But, no one will see me from my corner anymore. How would that feel to you and your blog?
Are you not human? Do you not get angry? Are you not equal no matter wshat belief in humanity? Then why I ask does this network throw my name about like I am but a statistic of another failed video game. This is my stand. I will have wrongs, I will have rights. I will be me until my voice is well heard. I mean no harm I only want my blog and my voice.
I get angry. I don't lash out at people that did nothing to me. I challenge those that did attack me with my words.
The thing is... you came to my attention because I was flagged 3 times. That is more than just @asshole. So I looked... saw your accounts. I went into steemd and looked at them and noticed that you essentially were just going down the line down voting people.
This means you were attacking people that didn't attack you.
Someone silenced you... they SHOT you.
Your answer was to start shooting at all the people around you.
If you were to read my blog you would find that I have been quite vocal and extensive in my views of the abuse of the flag.
So I actually was an ally/advocate for people that are silenced like you.
I say something about it and your answer is to insult, and troll me.
This does not work in reality. Those techniques are ONLY useful for pissing people off. People pissed off at you don't tend to suddenly decide to help you.
And to illustrate my point.... Here is a post I made 4 days ago... it also has links to all of my anti-flagging related posts in it.
Like I said. I was the person you wanted on your side. I am not powerful, but I treat people decent and with civility so that means I can be a voice for people. Yet, I also know there is no magic solution so I try to keep the issues active in the mind of the developers while also trying to find out a way to FIX this issue that will not open the doors to further exploits.
If you need an analogy... I am kind of like the pro-bono lawyer that would have represented you, yet someone insulted/wronged you and when you pulled out your gun and just started firing all around you like mad you shot the lawyer too.
Yet you chose to do harm rather than simply raise your voice.
You keep speaking, people will hear. If you are calling people names and such they likely will not listen.
If you speak as you did in this post to me people will listen.
Insults are useless for anything other than antagonizing someone. They don't actually solve problems.
They may make you FEEL better, but if your goal is to solve problems they are a bad tool.
As to your accounts. You kind of tanked them. It is theoretically possible to lift them out of the mire, but I know people muted you and your reputation is very low at this point. I only unmuted you because I saw you had responded as it flashed on my screen before the mute removed it (yeah their mute is not 100% effective) to give you the benefit of the doubt.
If you are serious about posting and having a blog my advice to you would be...
Thought of another idea... don't know if it is too late... go remove the down votes from people who didn't do anything to you... or better yet from everyone. Why resort to the tactics of those that screwed you?
Get the word out through @skeptic or someone and perhaps people will remove their flags and mutes from you. I cannot guarantee it will work, but contrition and apologies sometimes do work. Some people can't let go of a grudge though so you seriously might consider a new account.
One last thing... my reputation is high enough that your down vote didn't do anything to me. However, when I saw you lashing out enmass... your reputation was high enough to damage the reputation of other new people.
That is why I flagged you. I would flag @asshole too... but, they haven't posted, replied, or commented with that account so they haven't given anyone anything TO flag.
