The Steem Blockchain is Immutable Be Careful What You Write.

"What We Write on Steemit Echoes Forever on the Steem Blockchain." - Randy Hilarski

We have had a huge unflux of new users over the last few months and I feel the need to put out a public service announcement. Steemit is unlike any other social media platform on the internet. After the 7 day payout has occurred you can no longer edit your blog posts. Your work will now forever be part of the Steem Blockchain.

Thousands of years from now people might be looking at my Steemit posts contemplating the thoughts of a Crypto Currency evangelist and speaking of me like we speak of Aristotle or Confucius today. At least I can hope!

Now with This Superpower Comes Some Warnings.

  1. If You Use a Real Profile, Don't Engage in Troll Like Behavior on Steemit. You can't Delete Being an Ass.
  2. Don't Plagiarize on Steemit.
  3. How Do You Want to be Remembered?
  4. Credit Your Sources.
  5. Don't Say Anything that Can Be Used Against You.
  6. Check Your Facts, I Know I am Guilty of This.
  7. Don't Get Caught Up in Petty Squabbles.

What Does Immutable Mean?

Hey brother, cheers to you for the reminder for folks to be nice.
It's the right thing to do, no matter what.
👍🤝

This is the one aspect I love about this platform, being on our best behavior is rewarded.

Диктатура???)))

Ты не в полиции работаешь???..)))...все люди разные...".это твой мир,Сынок"..)))

You can't Delete Being an Ass - a phrase to be carved in stone:)

))...ну дак за слова нужно всегда отвечать,..или нет?..)),..и если я от Steema ожидал большего,то так и буду говорить,...и при чем тут троллинг,..делать нормально нужно СЕЙЧАС,а не через 5 лет.....,...и писать честно : " платим,но пока мало,...2000 будет силы,тогда что-то увидишь,..."....А так,что молчим?...Сказки про" светлое будущее" мы все умеем рассказывать...))

You know what they say - "what happens on the blockchain, stays on the blockchain!"

Thanks for sharing these very important features of steemit blockchain.

Agreed it's an important check-and-balance and worth spending a few minutes thinking about what you'll say if in squabbles with others. I wonder if human resource offices will start checking to see what you post here before hiring you....scary in some cases!

You say "if in squabbles with others"?. I say don't squabble with others.

Great advice for the blockchain-era which is already upon us :)

It sure is, new folks need to know this.

Very nice advice. Thank you for this. I never knew you couldn't go back and change things after your 7 days are up.

luckily in a thousand years I'll be long gone.....

but yep I get what you're saying!!!

What bothers me the most is that, once we add a native video player (SteemQ or Bitchute) and people start uploading videos directly on Steem's blockchain, we could expect all kind of videos immortalize in the blockchain, and that includes videos of murders, rape, gore stuff, etc etc... There have been a lot of cases of criminals uploading ugly videos on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and due to the centralized nature of such platforms those videos can be removed when an authority ask for it, but that won't be the case with Steemit and other decentralized solutions.

Just my humble opinion, idk if I'm missing something.
