RE: The Adventures of Lil' Beanie: Book 2
@tony-marshall what you have witnessed here, over the past week, is unlike anything you will see on a centralized social media site. One does not report to a Central Authority and have them act arbitrarily on a user. Here the system gives the ability of the community to decide what is and what is not except-able. This is based upon stake with the idea that the greater the stake one has then the greater the motivation to act for the benefit of the community, as what is good for the community is a benefit to those with greater stake in the community.
In this case we have seen two community members come to loggerheads about what is beneficial. FTG saw free speech to be a greater benefit while Bernie saw removing racist comments the greater benefit.
That is all well and fine... where it went off the rails is when innocents like yourself were caught in the crossfire. It is my personal opinion that Bernie dropped the ball in that regard, yet with his lesser stake it was probably a strategy to level the playing field on his part... though, again in my opinion, that did not justify it.
What was exciting to me was to see the community flock to this issue. It was a large motivation (as well as the rock bottom investment price to be honest) to buy my recent Dolphinhood at the cost of about about .5 BTC. It is comparable to buying a couple thousand dollars of FB Stock because one believed in Zuck's platform. The difference is, which this experience has shown, is that we all own this platform; you, me, FTG, Bernie or anyone who holds a stake.
Even families have disagreements. The wonderful thing is that this has run its course and has been worked out among ourselves without the need of any Central Authority. If you think you can find such a platform elsewhere then please let me know as it will also have my support.
STEEM On!
Seems all political to me and like any politician when they fuck the people over they have nothing to say for themselves. Not a good idea to drive people away that can actually bring some good content here adding value making the place worth something to these people with all the money. Pigheaded people like to shoot themselves in the foot, cut off their nose to spite their face so to speak. I will not bow to anyone with bullshit tactics like this. Nor will I be happy to see it happen to others I bring here with me. There is nothing fair about it and he's done worse than just drop the ball. That's an accident, this was intentional. I came here to do my own thing not be told who I can and can't ascociate with by someone I have no clue who they are and nor do I care who they are. I stand for the people against all oppressive systems. Im glad some people did well out of this. Good luck to them. I've said my peace and going to leave it at that, hopefully I don't encounter this type of bullshit again. Peace out ️brother.
