RE: 6 Ways You Can Make Steemit Better for You and All of Us, Starting RIght NOW! Act Like You Own the Place!
In a lot of other platforms, there are official "police" and procedures, so in that way, Steemit is even more an experiment in self governance. So, I agree to an extent, but I owned a social media marketing firm for several years and you can't handle things yourself on platforms like Twitter, or Facebook in some instances without involving the "authorities" there really is no such thing here. That's not even something there's a protocol for. It's freeing to me, but frightening for many others, I guess.
The "self-organizing" aspect is one of the things I really appreciate about this platform. If spammers and scammers come in, groups of users here recognize how that's potentially destructive to the entire platform and they take steps-- through some form of consensus-- to change things. We don't have to wait for "some moderator" to take action.
You're right, of course, this is really a giant social experiment.
Yep, it will be interesting to see what it all looks like five years from now.
