RE: You People are so Petty and Tiny. This is for all the Whiners on Steemit.
Well said Luke, no problem with taking a stand. This post was regarding Steemit only. I see the way people are treated and it is upsetting sometimes but I sit back and let it play itself out. It has been working out pretty well so far for the community.
It has for some, but not others. Early on, I tried helping some people who were being abused. That's before the mute function worked. I'm sensitive to those with mental health challenges because a lot of my colleagues in the software industry deal with it on a regular basis (thankfully, some of my friends are helping as well). It's difficult for those who don't feel the physical symptoms of mental oppression to fully understand. I certainly don't, but i'm working to listen better to those who do. Some people, I think, shouldn't be on social media or Steemit because they are not in a mental state to do so safely. We can't take responsibility for everyone, but I also think we should do what we can when we see injustice right in front of us. Sometimes it plays itself out well because of others taking action (and the negative consequences that often come with it).
