RE: Is There A Whale War Going on In Steemit?

in #conflict9 years ago (edited)

I really don't know what to think anymore to be honest. Conflicts like this if left unresolved become toxic and obviously, i think that we are witnessing a toxic situation. The constant warring is just getting too ridiculous. I was thinking of teaching a class of high school students to come onto Steemit, but until we have some really good ways of dealing with this kind of conflict, I am hesitant. I see that I'm not alone in this feeling of hesitancy. I think by continuing to avoid the central conflict, we will be disadvantaged. There are a lot of smart people in here. Are we too stubborn to find a solution to this? Surely, there is a way.....

Flagging for disagreement on rewards is considered a valid reason to flag/downvote. I think a large part of the problem is the perception of getting flagged is that someone did something wrong, and that a lot of times it is taken personally (even though in reality, getting flagged does not necessarily mean that the person did something wrong).

It seems that many in community are moving more towards subjective flagging - which is allowed, but may take some time for the community to adjust to.
