The freedom means bad actors can operate here too
I hear you buddy but it is sometimes very difficult to tell who the bad actors are?
We do know of those that blatantly shitpost 10 times a day and upvote themselves and couldn't give two hoots about the community.
Then there are those 'others' that hide behind a raft of 'community' groups and 'ethical bots' and suchlike who pay to join these groups and then get a stream of upvotes from these so called 'community groups'.
Vote buying is vote buying no matter how you cut it or try to hide it? Some people choose not to be so sneaky? Or just don't give a rats arse about it.
I was thinking about a meet up in Cambridge on the second weekend of September. What do you think?
I'll do a post on it if you are interested. @steevc @basilmarples would like to join us too @adetorrent
There are plenty of obvious offenders to deal with. It looks like some trending posts have already collected lots of downvotes. That page is being cleaned up.
Cambridge is possible. I have a gig on the 14th.
Whereabouts is the gig happening? Maybe we could incorporate it into the day time meet up?
I'd like to come and film the gig for DTube if that is acceptable to you and the other people playing?👍
Alternatively we could have the meet up on the 15th in Cambridge?
The gig is in a pub in Baldock as part of the Balstock Festival at 8pm. Of course I'll be encouraging friends to come. It's free entry
Sounds like fun, I'll try to get over there before the gig to do some 'behind the scenes' video if possible.
Great name "Balstock" 👍😀
I'll do a post about it nearer the date in case others can come. I'm quite excited about it.
Cool, I'll do a post about the Cambridge meet up too.
There seems to be some interest from local steemians.
