RE: A call to separation of powers in Steemit
I keep considering doing a post with nothing, but various whale comments throughout the community. I also fear being flagged and I have worked really hard on my Reputation.
I've just started producing science articles in order to reduce the probability that my post will induce whale flags. Sad, but true. Perhaps in the future, I will be writing the truth again. ? Big question mark.
Indeed it’s very sad, I have faced a similar situation earlier when I was posting photography, everything was fine until all hell broke loose on me and the first flagging campaign started. You can find out more details in this post.
Even though I was not convinced what I was doing was wrong like the authority had decided, and I wanted to continue posting external content to enrich this platform, like it’s done on all similar platforms I decided to switch my posts to stats to avoid controversy which I thought was not in the best interest of the platform at the time.
Everything was fine again for a little while, then the flagging restarted, this time claiming the reward for my posts was too high according to a single person.
So moral of the story is that when you are successful and people like your work, you will definitely attract envious individuals who will do their worst to get you flagged and get your work belittled and ruined.
I have been encouraged by your previous comments on my discontinuing stats posts post to continue my work regardless of the oppression that is unjustified flagging. I hereby ask you the same, don’t give in to the chilling and intimidation that aims to silence you.
It’s truly liberating and empowering to be able to speak freely, I hope all efforts will be made to grant freedom of speech and thought to the people here. Otherwise it will be the end.
Keep it up @stellabelle!
Never steer away from truth. What's the point of this whole thing if that's what it has turned into? If truth is not rewarded here, then fuck this whole platform. Let it die if that's the case.
i think the whole conversation here boils down to, what else can we do except bare our fleshy throats and hope the bloodthirstiest of the whales don't bite. i will help you however i can. without other whale support, of the more beneficent kind, what is there that can be done? let me know what i can do, short of ending with my head in a basket.
Depending on wat you say I guess @whatup
They just can't simply down vote because of some partial views
Some whales are down voting for $value, and others because they want to silence any information regarding negative views on SteemIt. I don't know what if anything we can do about it. I feel it just adds to the those who say SteemIt is a Scam. These "kids" do not understand when you silence people it make it look worse.
I was an early adopter of Facebook. Mark Z, was your first friend back then. He didn't go around deleting posts that talked about. Myspace.com, and there were a lot of harsh words back then. He wasn't the all powerful Mark Z, yet either. He was just mature enough to let it all play out.
exactly: "These "kids" do not understand when you silence people it make it look worse."
I don't know mark.
I definitely think is not right just to silence everyone just like that.
