Honestly, this is why I'm looking at other blockchain social media sites. Steemit has had such a lead, but every day they drag their feet and don't release improvements is another day the gap on the lead they have is closed and someone else will become the top social media platform.
i dont know who @ned is and dont really care to become involved in some bullshit drama.
what i am very interested in is a platform based on free speech, FOR ALL, even the assholes you disagree with, and i cant speak for anyone else, but i have often been that asshole.
but i would be very interested in the basic facts of this situation, and has there been censorship on this platform that anyone is aware of?
not sure i would consider flagging censorship, as i can still see the post.
having said that minus child porn/murders etc, what is the purpose of flagging?
are we not essentially flagging with our votes?
if im missing anything, please someone, school me, i am after all a noob.
and i am willing, able and interested in learning.
It can get even worse then just flagging. I made a comment on a family protection post and the lady that runs the site not only flagged my comments she openly stated she wanted to ban me but since she couldn't she'd flag me, then she went and got her buddy over at information wars to whom I had been participating with for the last couple months to flag the majority of stuff I posted over there, then he wrote a article about people who are plagiarist, added my name then said in a comment he would see about what he could do to get these listed people banned. Yes I post stuff from a website, I have the owners permission, I also send her the SBD earned for the post. The next thing I know steemcleaners show up on my blog, I got a hold of them today and I shared with them the letters she sent saying she was thankful that I was sharing her post, grateful for the contributions and new people I have brought to her website. She does not have a interest in coming to steemit so she allows me to share her stuff. Steemcleaners said I was good to go because I had her blessing and that I wouldn't be banned for sharing her stuff. I've been here since January and never had a problem, then after she made that comment I've spent the last two days having to defend myself. They, the lady from family protection, and this truthforce guy along with some dude name practical thought have done nothing but go over all my stuff and follow me around harassing me the last two days. Censorship is alive and well and so is dirty underhanded politics. Can you even imagine that something entitled information wars used the same dirty underhanded tactics that their name implies is used against them? What a complete dirty shot.
I have a Sola account it didn't really seem to be taking off last time i was there. I want in on the next big thing but also don't want to put a bunch of effort into something that dies out.
yeah sola sucks lol its erc20 based anyway isnt it? no scalability and fees too high. steem just so much more elegant. and current owners are irrelevant as someone will eventually find a fork with distribution that works ... and i bet you this is the one that wins... steem is so much bigger than just steemit inc... whoever makes the killer steem app will get neds full approval and he will be happy to sit back and go along for the ride.

Have you read their whitepaper. It looks like it has more ways to censor content, comments, posting and payouts than lots of regular social media sites.
Dear Bernie, please stop your reward pool rape bots. Thank you.
I'm upvoting my comments in response to your flags, Bernie
Upvote own bot comments from multiple own bots and get 100% return from Voting Power. That's how Steem works? Curate good content and get 10% back. Be a good guy, Bernie.
Steps that you can take to stop this reward pool rape:
Actually we need a good move but i am not seeing any improvment on the site from long time Nor sure they dont have good developers or advisor to make better improvment to the steemit,I personally donot want the end to the steemit it changes many people life in a good way and that is better for those who have no jobs but they can get some quality stuff to earn small.
After all we need a postive change on the steemit to see it go up not to get distroyed time by time.
Well, they take up all of his time between playing guitars...and flying to Steemit meet-and-greets...and trolling chat rooms...and taking online personality tests...and whatever else he does that isn't delivering on last year's road map and 2016's promises.
He's a very busy, hard-working guy. He's just not working on things that would improve his company, apparently. I'm sure it's intentional though.
I don't understand why most Venezuelans (including me) name their country every time they can do it. I'm not nationalist at all, but I've written "Greetings from Venezuela" without even realizing xD it must be in our genes!
Yeah I don't know why he flagged people's comments that were not 100% overwhelmingly supportive. It just isn't a good look to really do that especially on a platform that is supposed to be about free speech.
I hope they find some good talent but after their supposed hiring in 2016 when they were constantly "looking" for people while the price was drove down to $0.07 I'm not going to put a lot of faith in their hiring process. Ultimately they did hire @andrarchy which I felt was a solid move personally.
Honestly I wouldn't say that Steemit was a failure or failing. It served it's purpose by making the founders and STEEMIT Inc rich. They can now play video games at work all day every day and it wouldn't matter to be honest which would be a pretty cool place to be in.
As for the rest of us it is an economy that we can chose to engage in or not. I'm going to continue on even though things can be frustrating and will also be involved in other crypto projects as well.
P.S. I still think you might be @ned 's alter ego and a way he can battle his inner demons. :-)
I dislike all the SteemIt Inc bashing, not because I think they don't deserve it sometimes, but mostly because it is self-defeating unless you are working on a solution.
I wish I was a big eough person to pass by your comment on andrarchy, but he was hired as a community liaison. How was that a good decision based on any measure you can think of? He disappeared and occasionally writes an odd defensive sounding post. lol. I'm not saying he isn't a good guy, he just didn't seem to be a good hire. :) Shame on me for saying this, there is no reason to point it out.
I know what you are saying on the Steemit Inc bashing. It is pretty hard to get where they have gotten and they have secured their future. If it was easy then everyone would do it. There is a reason why there hasn't been a lot of competition over the last two years of other platforms that reward a person in crypto. There is a reason why VICE and SMOKE still aren't out yet. It takes a lot of money, development, and time.
As far as @andrarchy goes I take a pretty neutral stance on him and his position as community liaison. Back in 2016 I got so pissed off I even e-mailed Steemit Inc because they were always "collecting resumes" pretending to be looking to hire people when to me there were maybe 4 or 5 good candidates already hard at work on this blockchain which I recommended to them and one was @andrarcy mainly because his excitement and willingness to explain the STEEM ecosystem to people at the time. After he got the position he did a few things that conveyed what STEEM was pretty well I felt like.
As of today there are a lot of things we don't know. We don't know how much they are paying him or at what capacity he is working on this. They might not be paying him that great and it could be in a limited remote role. I really don't know.
Also we don't know a lot of things he might do behind the scenes that we don't see. So I'm more talking about him being a good hire when they first did it in late 2016 or early 2017 or whenever. Today I really can't say what the situation is.
If I had the capital resources, technical abilities, great team..... etc I would take what we have learned from Steemit, DLive, DTube, Steepshot....etc and would try to build a platform that had some improvements and a fair initial distribution. I would do it ASAP because we see this is what the future is but it isn't easy.
Simply we don't have the proper foundation to get the job done and it doesn't look like anyone else does either. That is why I give Steemit.com and guys like @andrarchy a pass.
I like andrarchy and it is a bit disheartening that he seemed to actually be more active in the community before he was hired than he has been after he was hired. I almost never notice anything from him now, but before he was hired I frequently would run into something he was involved in.
It's important for a community liaison to, you know liaise with the community.. I have written numerous comments that addressed him directly in the past with salient points to share - and he never even replied to most of them.
I don't really know what to say - except it is pretty clear that there is absolutely no intention to perform in any way that could be called 'world class' (or even average).
Yeah, it is sad. He was active and prolific before the hired him. He wrote and made some truly inspiring videos. He coordinated and ran some communities in chat. He was a generally steem ecosystem focused guy and it showed.
I saw a few things when he was first hired, but honestly it has been a very long time since I've seen anything that was overtly done by him. There may be some covert things that he did through some other name, project, etc. yet those things I don't really know. If that is the case. The overt approach was far better PR.
My friend, I truly have no clue when it comes to that. I don't even have any speculations as I've seen nothing to grab onto for me to form possibilities from.
No it's always true. A person is unconscious if they obsess about a person's action. Personal responsibility is what people should focus on. Obsess about external reality is a waste of time.
I don't tend to accept ALWAYS, NEVER, EVERYONE, etc. Absolutes are very rarely true when applied to people, and this is no exception. All it takes is a single case of it not being the case for the absolute to be invalid.
Absolutes are good. We need more of that in the world. People confident in what they believe in. Always I say because that means let's say 99% of times. Of course a person can be a word police and try to do all 100% accurate but for me that is a waste of time and energy. 😉😊
I get what you are saying with that. We did see a lot from him before he was hired and I don't know if a lot of the stuff he does are things we just don't see in a video format of him addressing the community or what. I just really can't say.
Steem/Steemit's history has been rather disappointing, but I'm really hoping that we can start picking up the steam (haha get it??) to work towards mainly SMTs, and many other features/updates they have in mind.
I was actually very happy seeing @ned's post, as this should increase the velocity of our developments. Hopefully they can get it right this time, but a flag probably isn't the best way to silence someone like bernie... someone who's probably spent the majority of his Steemit life sitting below 0 rep lol

Bruh, you aren't poor to the point that you can't afford paragraphs.
lol, they don't pay me enough to do it either.
LMAO!😄
You know, petty shit like this reminds me of a song by Bowling for Soup. "High School Never Ends".
The older I get the more I see that's true.
Wow! A Steemit theme song.....lol.
what are other blockchain social media sites? I would love to try more out...
Ono is releasing soon mithril. Investfeed. Sola or something like that.
I have a Sola account it didn't really seem to be taking off last time i was there. I want in on the next big thing but also don't want to put a bunch of effort into something that dies out.
yeah sola sucks lol its erc20 based anyway isnt it? no scalability and fees too high. steem just so much more elegant. and current owners are irrelevant as someone will eventually find a fork with distribution that works ... and i bet you this is the one that wins... steem is so much bigger than just steemit inc... whoever makes the killer steem app will get neds full approval and he will be happy to sit back and go along for the ride.
A friend of mine told me about a crypto based content-rewards platform, like Steem and Steemit, search for the soon to be crypto: Uunio.

Steps that you can take to stop this reward pool rape:
Check out @mmmmkkkk311 using 78.68% of his voting power on HIMSELF!!
Hypocritical cunt!!
Look at his weak ass response that the self-voting is because of me flagging, you can see it started LONG before I started flagging the bitch.
https://steemworld.org/@mmmmkkkk311
Actually we need a good move but i am not seeing any improvment on the site from long time Nor sure they dont have good developers or advisor to make better improvment to the steemit,I personally donot want the end to the steemit it changes many people life in a good way and that is better for those who have no jobs but they can get some quality stuff to earn small.
After all we need a postive change on the steemit to see it go up not to get distroyed time by time.
How the heck did @booster get the bernie rep up to 51+ so quickly?
On a side note, @dan came out of steemit retirement unexpectedly a few days ago just to flag a bunch of posts that were critical of EOS.
Where's the promise? It is getting long now and I can't hold on any longer too :/
Ned is a dumbass for flagging all that truth.
Also, I'm a developer (Android) and heavily vested in STEEM and guess how many times Ned has responded to my comments: 0
Those "mission critical" projects must really be taking up all his time ...
Well, they take up all of his time between playing guitars...and flying to Steemit meet-and-greets...and trolling chat rooms...and taking online personality tests...and whatever else he does that isn't delivering on last year's road map and 2016's promises.
He's a very busy, hard-working guy. He's just not working on things that would improve his company, apparently. I'm sure it's intentional though.
I saw that you said you would only take payment in Steem.
I guess he's just too cheap to pay you in that form since he'd be "overpaying" you if things go well.
But Bernie, your comment wasn't productive like this $50 comment:
My comment has also been flagged by bernie. Unfortunately that comment was not good enough to satisfy @ned to give $50 upvote!
You must have written the worst comment in the world
😊😂
I think so. I should have written something like this man from Venezuela! Now I regret. :(
Lol!!!
I don't understand why most Venezuelans (including me) name their country every time they can do it. I'm not nationalist at all, but I've written "Greetings from Venezuela" without even realizing xD it must be in our genes!
Same thing happens to me, I'm supposed to post only in English and I keep mixing up with Venezuelan things haha. Followed you :D
@javo1096
Yeah I don't know why he flagged people's comments that were not 100% overwhelmingly supportive. It just isn't a good look to really do that especially on a platform that is supposed to be about free speech.

I have to wonder what went wrong.. Maybe he learned something that changed his intentions.
My friend, I truly have no clue when it comes to that. I don't even have any speculations as I've seen nothing to grab onto for me to form possibilities from.
Sure, yes, me neither.
People come and go. It takes a lot for a human to engage in something. When people focus too much on specific people we miss the bigger picture.
This is true, except when the person is being hired specifically to be the community liaison.
No it's always true. A person is unconscious if they obsess about a person's action. Personal responsibility is what people should focus on. Obsess about external reality is a waste of time.

Yeah I don't know either. He could be involved in a lot of things he is not getting credit for or that we don't know.
That's the problem I would have expected to SEE him involved in a lot more things with official support.
My expectations could be wrong.
You said, Alter Ego 😂😂😂
Flagging is a form on marketing
Best I can do.
Steem/Steemit's history has been rather disappointing, but I'm really hoping that we can start picking up the steam (haha get it??) to work towards mainly SMTs, and many other features/updates they have in mind.

I was very fortunate to have several downvotes of my comment while I was drinking a double vodka...
Haha... You are not alone!
Doesn't it feel great!!
