The potential to overrun steemit? There are 3000 users in the project and over 250,000 users on steemit? Of those 3000 users, there are no whales. It would only take one or two whales to stop 3000 minnows from having any impact on this platform so I am not sure where that logic comes from.

Upvoting amounts to around 0.70SBD a post. Pretty miniscule when there are larger users here upvoting their own posts of very poor quality for much larger sums. I think it's a pretty valued place where small users can support other small users. Anyone is free to be part of the group.

From what I understand, Steemit is supposed to be whatever the users want it to be. There will be community functionality added to the platform in the near future, so if you are worried about one community of users now, just wait until that change occurs. A community is a collective of like minded people. I would have no qualms if you were to start up your own 'anarchist' community where you could post whatever you like and offend, or not offend, whoever you liked.

My values are what I am guided by. If I want to access NSFW content, I know where to go. NSFW is included on this platform for users who want to access that content, is is hidden for users who wish it to be hidden. If I want to build a place where I would be happy to post and share my family and know its a caring place to be, then I know where to go for that too. If you want to post hate speech and other things, go and find somewhere on the platform where its ok. Just because one community doesn't find it acceptable and do not want you to post certain content there does not mean it is a 'socialist regime'. Just one that has its own set of social values.

The creators of steemit made it the place that it is today where you can do and create whatever you want. Upvoting and flagging is a feature for users to show their like or dislike of content. If that is not a social media platform that is controlled by users, then I don't know what is. This place is controlled by the users and can be whatever we want it to be. Just because one section of the platform is not what you want it to be doesn't make it ok to slander that community because of their values.
