RE: Fighting abuse on the Steem blockchain

in #utopian-io7 years ago (edited)

I've been downvoting any abuse I see ever since I joined this network.

One major mistake is the location of the flag button, and it's lack of importance in the UI in steemit. It should be equally placed and sized than the upvote button.

Fuck blacklists, it's centralized and it will lead to abuse (it already does in the case of marky)

Sort:  

I try not to get involved in flagging because of my low SP (and threat of retaliation - sad isnt it!). Its sad to see abuse going on and not being able to do much about it - I mean there are services out there trying to cleanup the blockchain which is great!

Moving the flag button on Steemit would be a good move. Some of the other dapps make it even less obvious how to flag.

I think blacklists can have a function if the vote sellers work together to deal with abusers. Obviously need trusted people to manage them, but I don't see the harm.

@heimindanger is bigot trash who refers to people as "fag". Look at his comment history and you'll see just what a piece of shit he truly is!!

I'm with you on this one. it's as if people conspired to make democratized content curation a taboo. I myself am scared as shit to "flag" people because my SP makes it easy enough for dipshits to take it personally and downvote me back as retaliation.

The upvote/downvote UI on dtube should be normalized everywhere else. And maybe we can change how people address downvotes as "flags". Flags imply centralized censorship, downvote is decentralized.
