RE: Censorship: Why All Blockchain Projects Should Join Steem (especially Status)

in #steem6 years ago

Since when does Steemit promote censorship resistance? Pretty much no one cares about it and nothing is made to highlight that this is the real function of a blockchain.

My initial bet on Steem was that by 2020, there would be a prominent newspaper that would publish its article on Steem. Now I don't think that anymore.

Also, I want to point out that the downvoting @ned was doing on @dan's article about EOS were pretty much censorship, whatever @ned gaves as an excuse. So yeah you can get censored on Steem, reduce to slicence and not so many people will know how to read your words

Sort:  

Censorship means removed, generally. So, a downvote (flag) can reduce rewards, ranking, reputation, visibility, completely, or to some extent, but the blockchain is said to be designed to keep the content there. For example, you can still Google it, search it, look it up using Duck Duck Go or other search engines to find Steemit comments, posts, even after they are flagged a lot. I try not to flag people. I don't like flags. Maybe, votes and likes should be kept separate.
