RE: Downvote Pool Deep Dive
In the meantime, we believe allowing users to have some downvotes without consuming their voting mana is a reasonable solution.
That doesn't sound like a good argument. Unlimited downvoting opens the door to censorship like never before.
This is beyond incorrect since steemit has a ui thing it only greys out posts. There are other frontends to use. This in no way would affect your posts, or how they are posted and if they stay on the chain. steemit is a centralized front end not much to expect from that, don't like it choose a new front end or run the condenser in your own way.
Censorship, the changing or the suppression or prohibition of speech or writing..."
The relevant portion of Encyclopedia Britannica's definition of censorship definitely includes concealing text and requiring another step to reveal it. It may not be complete eradication of information, but no definition of censorship from any source I've read so defines censorship.
Almost no one has the ability to extract data from the blockchain itself, since almost no one is competent to code their own front end. Not only Steemit so censors speech, but all front ends I am aware of in common use. Telling people to 'run condenser in your own way' is like telling people if they don't like commercially available automobiles to just make their own. Maybe you can build a front end. I bet you can't build a car. I can't do either, because I build houses.
This does affect posts, which is the purpose of doing it.
No, ones competent enough to code a front end?

Also, there is an assortment of free projects on github dealing with steem. You can also use many other front ends. Steem isn't censorable but most top layer solutions are because companies have to follow the laws of their home-based countries.
People in the community or more than willing to help with things for no charge if you ask to modify the software. Just don't expect massive overhauls for free.
Curation is never censorship. Ever. Also, where do you get the idea of unlimited downvoting. .

Cause he can't read. All he does is
spamshare to Steem random stuff that could be done in <1 minute multiple times a day. He probably doesn't even read the shit he shares.you are famous legal expert when it comes to spam, censorship and how much time someone should spend creating post . platform could easily restrict sharing if they want to get rid of it , who are you to impose rules on others ?
Isn't it great? And many follows through.
Hmm, I don't know what to tell ya.
I'll ask my question again . Who are you to ban things that are allowed on the platform ?
I don't know? Who are you to allow things on the platform? lol
I am not allowing or banning anything . You are also not banning anything , you are simply just sending steem back to reward pool so it can be picked up by your boss @themarkymark . But you can't say it openly here , that is why you keep pushing that spam narrative .
Excellent detective work, Watson! Lol
It's not unlimited. There is a separate (and smaller) supply of downvote mana that limits it.
