RE: Steemit Update [Nov 22nd, 2022] : Community Curators for December - Team Newcomer
Thank you, @josevas217 for your answer. The simple point is that a translation is not the same thing of the native content, and it seems to me that isn't a problem if the goal is to reach two different people groups. The problem is when big upvotes reach low quality contents or a user upvote itself many times. But if the people don't like it basing on their personal policy, I can't do anything. Do you know where I can ask about this type of questions? For example, a contact address to the team or a specific user linked to it?
Thank you again for your answer, and have a nice day. :)
Hello friend, it is not necessary to do translations because for that there is google translator.
It is recommended that you publish in your native language, the one that you master the best, and in the same publication you can place an English translation.
You can see the examples in the posts of the steemit engagement challenge contests.
I know there are online translators, but
I understand the problem of translations a lot because I have studied this myself.
The problem is that in Steemit two publications with the same content is not recommended, it can be interpreted as a double publication, even if they are different languages.
Unfortunately, I'm running into the same problem on other platforms as well. Just to be clear, I had moved to Hive at the time of the Steemit hard fork, because I am managing a contest whose participants had mostly moved to the other platform at that time. Now, over the last few weeks, I've been targeted by some projects and users adopting the interpretation you just described. The problem with these platforms is that there is a downvote that can be used in any way, even to impose one's own personal policy, and this is unacceptable. To make an analogy, it's like handing over a car to a person who then uses it to run over someone, intentionally or not. The auto exists, but nobody has the right to run over someone with it.
As I wrote in a paragraph of a complaint article published on the other platform, the downvote is not a tool that allows you to say whether you like or dislike content (this can be done simply by not voting for the content you don't like, which adds a value of 0 to that content), but it only allows you to deprive the author of the value that another user has recognized in his content.
I don't know if you're interested in following me on a specific argument, but I write it anyway :). If I had another voting system in which each user could vote in absolute votes (like up to 10) and I who didn't consider that post as deserving of 10 would go with a vote up to zero to lower the average (and, consequently, the value released to that post). Here, instead, we have a different system, based on the fact that no one can choose an absolute vote, but can only decide to give a value from the reward pool limited to the portion of the SP he/she controls (compared to the total of the existing SPs) to a content. From which follows that content that also has great value for certain users, will have a zero value because someone who doesn't like that content exploits their position of strength given by a greater SP possessed to reduce the value of that post to zero. In the post I mentioned earlier, I talked about this using the analogy of a hypothetical "bakery case".
Thank you anyway for your answer. Then, do you know about a way to contact the Steemit team, to understand if there are possible ways to face a possible situation like the one I met on the other platform?
