RE: Why Steemit ?

in #promotion8 years ago

What a great Steemit promotional campaign this would make! When I first joined I was amazed at how well Steemit functions without any kind of moderators. In a sense you could say the community moderates itself using the flag mechanism, and in general that does seem to be an effective way to get rid of the occasional troll. I do worry a bit that flagging could turn into a form of censorship in the hands of a powerful whale, but so far those worries have proved unfounded.

Sort:  

I agree, to be honest I'd like to see the flags kept in the hands of the steemcleaners crew and possibly a select few moderators the community could vote for...

But I have seen flag abusers punished as well so maybe that is how they are dealing with it, either way it is a surprisingly friendly place with a very warm community feel.....

Thanks for your kind words :)

That was one impression that also struck me very strongly when I first joined. Reddit and Facebook are absolute cesspits compared to Steemit. I think having an actual financial reward at stake acts as a powerful motivator for people to behave themselves on here. ;-)

Yes it does, and also the reputation system. There is no profit in trolling lol...
