Hey man would you mind sharing about this.. I am trying to put the picture together.. and am highly curious about censorship against anyone.. would you perhaps share a screen shot or link for us.. I would be willing to create a post to cover what has happened to you.
While I full heartedly disagree with his statement. And I have been an advocate for the gentleman he directed his statement towards. I believe that censorship is not the answer. Not on a decentralized platform. However of course if it is a centralized platform then of course that would be much different. It just depends which it is. If it is indeed central, or private then of course everyone should have the power to do as they wish with their business.. aka facebook, youtube, etc.
Sure it starts with someone like him who is being a blatant jerk. However how much sooner, or later, is the censorship just done willy nilly.. based on personal dislike.. over an actual real cause. Eg. I was banned and never even used the tag/platform once. That is centralized decision making.
Lastly and most importantly why has not the biggest abuser on all of Steem(it) been banned from Pal? Whom actually has used the Pal tag.. and really does harass everyone from cancer patients, to women and children? Right down to death threats?
The message they are sending by not banning Bernie is loud and clear. It is the same shit different pile unfortunately. I wanted to sit back and watch, and give them a real chance via observation. However in just a short time they have burned all bridges of hope that I once had when I first heard of them. Even this Bernie/Pal fight is staged. Letting you off the hook is their way of tricking you into thinking Bernie isn't part of it. However I assure you he 100% is. So since they are behaving as centralized. In this case, until they ban Bernie I have zero respect for that platform, and they are sending their message to Steem(it) loud and clear.
Wish you all the best.
The above quote is not appropriate for a centralized platform. It is my own personal belief system. Clearly Pal does not share that sentiment based on obvious censorship decisions.
Feel free to go give viraldome's comment an upvote then if you think it deserves more earnings. That comment was sitting at 25 cents, and I flagged it because I disagreed with those rewards.
First of all I never said it deserved more earnings. So lets not put words on the page that are not there.
My question directed at the man up top was concerning censorship, I was wondering what type of censorship as he did not say.
I said why is "Bernie Sanders" not being censored/banned. But these other accounts are being addressed in such a way.
Since Pal is clearly centralized then in that case they should use some of that centralized power to get rid of the biggest abuser of all time "Bernie". That is the point of my 2nd comment in this string which was directed at you.
Getting rid of people who have never used the platform, while the biggest abuser of all time is allowed to partake.. is like getting rid of Hitlers dog.. while letting him go on killing Jews.
My point is there are bigger fish to fry, than banning people whom have never, not even once.. used the platform.
But you didn't address that. You just gave a strawman argument telling me to give money to the guy. No one was saying to give the guy money.
My point was so much larger than the guy above this string of comments.
Why worry about the tar tar sauce in the kitchen of the Titanic, and if it tastes just right.. while the hull has a massive hole in it from an ice burg.. and the ship is sinking. Bernie is that hole in the hull. So again.. if Bernie is not behind Pal.. why is he not banned since Pal is clearly centralized? They do say death threats are reason for ban on this 'Liberty' website.. so where is the liberty in allowing him to stay? And who could possibly argue for him to stay and remain unbanned.. while the platform is keeping busy banning those whom have never even used it.
You are a smart lady Lyndsay. You know for a fact that no where did I say that man deserved more. I was inquiring pertaining to his claims of censorship on Pal, seeing as my own recent experience was a distasteful one with them. I was curious to learn more about his. All while completely disagreeing with his statement.
But instead of having a decent conversation with me about real questions, and concerns that I have brought up, you instead gave me that.
You of all people should be concerned why he is allowed over there. However I think we both know the answer. One of us will admit it, and the other will change the topic to discussing things that were never said, instead of trying to find answers.
I was lumped into a post concerning coininstant and the ban/rules being put in place for him due to his actions which I had nothing to do with. I was later edited out from the post. However this still exists (see screen shot below). Not that I care. In fact I am glad this happened. They just saved me wasting my hard earned money on it. Just wanted to share my experience with the general public. I would have no way of knowing if they carried anything out in the end concerning a ban as I have previously mentioned I have not used the platform ever. I only can go on what they say in their own posts that they write. So based on what 'they said', and then 'did' (see screen shot below).. was why I came to the conclusion about their centralized bad decision making process which is evident just a month in.

So on that note. Take care.
You are not banned from palnet, I'm reading your comments just fine on the site.
