I tend to agree with all your proposals
Good to hear!
I have seem Steem as a great opportunity to showcase how intellectual property could be protected. If we could manage to fix the most harmful issues we currently have, I don't see why Steem could not be a great platform for science-related content. Researches could be funded with Steem, and immutability is a great tool to avoid plagiarism and scams... also (this is the potential use case that this platform currently has that I love the most) politicians statement, public fund management, public budgets information, etc, can be accounted thanks to the immutability of the content posted and the people responsible of lying, defamation, spreading fake news, will have no place to hide.
For people who need immutability, it's still there. But for the average joe, immutability is a bit of an overkill in terms of risk vs reward. See below.
But, I'm curious about one thing. How do you think that immutability is preventing people from posting?
Whatever you write, is here forever. You make a mistake, well, bad for you. You can't delete it.
We always make mistakes, who hasn't? If I get your point right, you think that because people don't like to be reminded of their mistakes they are more thoughtful on what they write on Steem and tend to avoid writing casually (e.g. as most people do on twitter). The user's post frequency is thus diminished since he actually wants to avoid creating something from which he can be bullied before.
Ok, if that would be the case then people abusing the platform (I mean the social platform not the rewards, and with abuse I mean insults, harassment, racial and other forms of discrimination, deal with it since I have hundreds of thousands SP attitude) would not be that numerous. People can create Steem accounts without revealing their identities, is there a need for more privacy that complete anonymity?
