Flagging: the biggest problem of Steemit?
Freemarket censorship?
Steemit is not centrally controlled, but users do not hold equal voting power, therefore users with a lot of SP can self upvote for profit ( one of the reasons I got on here: I rather "pay" SP for being trending, than pay money for ads) or can flag smaller users in to oblivion...
I had a similar experience when a communist (!) with 60k+ SP down voted a post denouncing communism. That cost me 1 point in reputation! I think flagging is a powerful weapon that should not be abused!
What do I flag?
Only stolen content. If it is not original, you should not post it. If there is stuff I disagree with, I post a snarky comment and upvote that and not their post: it is being disrespectful without ruining their reputation! Also creates space for debate, instead of silencing them by flagging the post.
Even if I disagree with someone, it does not mean they deserve a lower rep!
What do you think? Do you even flag? And if so, when and what?
calling out @a-0-0-a-0-0 and his shill account @admin-steemit (lol,low life scammer) Do want a flag war? My active SP is high enough.
Being flagged is part of the game. Since steemit is decentralized, it's like a little experiment on democracy.
I don't flag even if I see content that in my eyes shouldn't even have been posted. I'd hate to be a target. That's how it works even in real life, I guess. Most people are afraid of making a stand.
I´m flag only spam, and bots.
