RE: The Steemit Daily Dose: The rise of trolls and Social Justice Warriors (SJWs) on Steemit.
Great video and something that really needed addressed. I've only been here a few months, but have noticed a shift in the amount of "social justice warrior" posts increasing the last month or so. What makes Steemit great is the freedom to express yourself in a decentralized environment. If you don't agree with someone, fine, there's plenty of other users you can find that share your points of view you can associate with, but attacking them through flagging or making aggressive posts regarding their intentions or self-voting practices are all forms of control and the suppression of freedom, which has no place here.
These practices have brought about great concern over the long term growth and future of Steemit. When people start making it their purpose to do what's best for the "community" our platform will suffer greatly. This type of thinking is at the core of the problem with governments around the world and I hope does not infiltrate our opportunity to break free from that here on Steemit. Re-Steemed!
Some very wise words there @orionschariot - lets hope we can keep our decentralized walled garden safe from those types of people!
