All very good points @ribbitingscience . Re downvoting there is some pretty bad stuff happening here. For example a the 2 founders fighting. One of them downvoted the other, left a negative comment then upvoted his own comment to the tune of $2500 USD! This is just one example I've seen.

Oh dear, that doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Hopefully, that's been sorted because there's nothing that'll sink a site faster than drama with the dev team.
Yes there is a flat earther in Steemit here that has a fair bit of Steempower that could flatten my posts. Given that I've been the target already of an "Electric Universe" person (possibly because of my profile in amateur astronomy) I worry a bit about that.
Ugh, while I've been fortunate enough to not run into any members of the flat earth cult, those electric universe people are insufferable (ran into them after posting a review of an Einstein documentary on another site). The only thing, that doesn't involve a complete overhaul of the voting system, I can think of would be to decrease the effect of an individual negative vote.
Encouragingly Ned pulled his vote, so all is not lost. The friction is over EOS being developed by Dan as a competitor to the STEEM/STEEMIT platform, so understandably tensions are high.
Ah, that's understandable then.
