RE: A question for the Steemit community about the mechanism of downvoting and the dangers of charlatans
Nice! I hadn't come across that information yet, so thank you for sharing it. I think communities would definitely be an improvement, although I think only one positive step among multiple steps that would be helpful to be taken. Cheers.
Sure thing, @scottsantens. There have been tons of good conversations here on how to handle challenges like those you bring up ... but most of these are nearly impossible to find at present as they are spread out across several months of posts in our still-nearly-unsearchable platform.
As of now, especially when it comes to complex subjects, there is still plenty of work to be done on how to prevent users from posting harmful lies without creating some kind of (inherently biased) 'truth police'. Your articulate and balanced perspective on the matter can doubtless help this effort along: )
