Everyone is suspicious , until proven otherwise ?

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Today i saw a post on the front page who got 1,000$ worth of SBD with this post essentially calling a developer of a new mobile app for steemit a liar 

The user alleges that the developer claims of creating an app that went trough apple approval process and passed it are misleading and a lie .He also goes further by discrediting the developer , calling him an amateur developer and questioning his skills , and demanding proof by producing a app store link  and further verify its use of the steem blockchain and network

But the important thing , isnt that the user questioned the dev claims or that he was wrong about the accusation  (being that not all approved apps go to the app store , as some are simply sent to testers  or put on hold until  a eventual release in the future) 

The thing is that almost nobody took time to think about the claims made by the user accusing him and verify them , instead almost everyone read the post and took the claims at face value , upvoting  , and making the a piece made of unsubstantiated accusations rise  , that we are seeing that witch hunts and flame wars are beginning to surface , and that while system has a lot more to do to encourage good behavior and participation , the community has also to begin to be more thoughtful about the content they read

Also , posts like would make it seem  like the attitude of the community is rather unwelcoming towards users and developers ,making them go through a lot effort proving themselves to the community to be considered legit 

Its not a new problem , some bitcoin forums and communities place too much importance on reputation and trust checks , make it almost impossible to conduct business and start projects unless you are a veteran and you provide a lot of details and proof

My point is we have to think twice before discrediting and flagging a user just because at first glance it doesn't what they post doesnt look perfect or because they are new  . We need to stop and engage in a conversation and get the right information before 

Not doing so can mean steemit will be the subject of brigading  and other similar problems , just like any other network , monetized yes , but the actual user experience will not

Just thinking 30 secs before clicking down vote or flagging, abstaining to comment until we can say something worth while , and talking with arguments rather that trying  "expose" users can help

Edit: Style and grammar , also is seems like he got nothing for its post so thats a good sign
Sort:  

It would be good if you practiced what you preached.

Well it looks very indeed spammy as you posted your own network on steem
But i didnt flag , i only said so

So on Steem I can't post a video from my own channel?

I can do that on Facebook and Twitter.

And you did flag, and didn't even comment etc. but I don't care to be honest; however since you're posting about 'flagging' it would be good if you practiced what you preached to give your own words some credibility.

You are class A troll , a very persisten one just FYI
Before your external developers can test your app, you have to submit your app to be reviewed by Apple, just as you would with a normal App Store submission. These reviews tend to go faster than normal app reviews (although don’t count on it), and once it’s approved you can let external developers test your app. Internal testers, on the other hand, are instantaneously able to test new builds.

Thanks , its a little bit hard to stay away from clickbait and memes among other low effort stuff but it pays off in the
