People abusing the steem blockchain to fight abuse on the steem blockchain?????

Brahaha! I've seen a lot on here, great content for the most part (!!!), but this is kind of special so I thought I'll share it!

No matter how "legitimate" this guy thinks his motives are, imho it's another example how "free" downvoting makes the #Steem environment appear a little hostile in some cases. ;-)

Of course first and foremost it's a impressive display of a weak character to attempt such coercion's on fellow steemians.

The "I know what's best or right or wrong and I'll try to force my opinion on you" types aren't in any way limited to #steem but it became so much easier for those people to play games with other steemians via the "free" downvotes.

I'm aware that this is an anomaly and not the norm.

Still, in general it doesn't bother me too much, as of now being hit with just a few downvotes without actual impact

...every now and then, that is! :-)

But forcing the own opinions onto others by threatening to downvote that's kind of special, isn't it?

Stopping "felt" abuse of the steem blockchain by abusing the steem blockchain via free downvotes is a contradiction in itself.

But I’m surely expecting too much in regards to integrity of the new “downvote bully” around here.

I wonder how new #steem users feel about this... that is those who are willing to really look into the superb, the good, the bad, and the ugly in/on #steem.

#Steem doesn't lack complexity anyways compared to other social media I guess and now you have to "join" teams and "do the right thing" while "the right thing" is to agree and support people like the guy behind "@themilkymark" or "@fuk.themarkymark" ?

Brahaha!

I can't believe that free downvoting makes #steem more attractive to new users.

Don't the "free" downvote supporters think that this could make others think and say "the heck with it"?

I'm not on here to fight anyone or to force my opinion onto others and I guess most other steemians feel the same.

I don't know about the beef these people have with @themarkymark but you did a heck of a job on your approach of "winning people over" to your point of view.

Dang... I wrote more than I initially wanted about this BS.

So, @themilkymark have fun what you're doing here and flag away.

I know it's redundant but again... imho you clearly showed an impressive example of abuse of the steem blockchain that you on the other hand whine about.

Sad...


Wow! How do all of you feel about things like that going on on here?

Please hit me with a comment from you if you like!

I would especially appreciate a take on this from @themarkymark, @theycallmedan and the good people in and around @project.hope!

Cheers!

Btw @themarkymark posted about it earlier..

Love it!

I think these are bot accounts from the same person or group of people. There are several out there with "marky" in the name. I've been hit by a few of them. Really pisses me off sometimes.

Hahaha! Well, those 7 words say it all, that's much more concise than my 473 word post! So, for this immense wasting every readers time alone I deserve to be downvoted I guess! ;-)

Cheers!

Stopping "felt" abuse of the steem blockchain by abusing the steem blockchain via free downvotes is a contradiction in itself.

My thoughts exactly. Down voting someone because of who you vote for or associate with is a "middle school" dick move.

Very fitting Joe!

Never a dull moment hey LOL

Very true! 🤣
