Can Steemit be the platform for fair and uncensored Bitcoin & cryptocurrency discussion?
Reddit is a cesspool of censorship and brigading. /r/Bitcoin is partial to Bitcoin Core, and riddled with censorship, while /r/btc is a Bitcoin Cash propaganda HQ. Perhaps a movement should be made to make a community on Steemit for truly impartial moderation of ideas regarding Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general.
From what I understand, Steemit rewards posters based on the content of their post. I'm not sure how difficult it is to brigade posts on Steemit, or whether moderators are able to censor posts. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me can say. Regardless, I think the Bitcoin community could use a fresh start, and maybe Steemit could be the foundation for that.
I used to use Reddit for years before finding out about Steemit just recently. The censorship and lack of pressure to create original content on reddit gives steemit a big advantage. Regardless, it's going to be difficult to ever have an impartial discussion, especially when there is money involved.
I totally agree, people will always be biased when discussing securities they have a stake in. I think having moderators that represent as wide an array of the community as possible could help this. At least having a place of little or no censorship would be a first step.
Do you know how Steemit's moderation works?
I love the idea but it might be a pipe dream. I think in reality the bitcoin and reddit fanatics will continue about their business but that doesn’t mean this great community can’t thrive and coxist. I’ve only just joined but already I’m addicted to the wealth of knowledge and fantastic people on here. I can already tell my daily commute will now be spent reading countless articles in here instead of Facebook and candy crush ;)
