An absolute shame. I truly am baffled how anyone can think that this stupid flagging nonsense is good for the chain.

Flagging is good for chain sustainability. The problem is when people use them maliciously and not for the good of the platform.
Yeah I’m not saying get rid of flagging. I’m saying it’s s problem when I bring someone new here and they see that it’s like kindergarten in here with powerful toddlers.
I know why you think that, but ultimately its not good. If Steem grows to be significant in the eyes of major corporations, governments and mainstream media, it can be a tool for shutting down alternative viewpoints. That would defeat the point of this blockchain completely, and it is for this reason I wish I could convince others to realize that flagging is not in step with Steem's primary value add: immutable expression.
