Is RE-Steeming On Steemit Considered Bad Behaviour ?

in community-support •  8 years ago  (edited)

Good question for all of us! What is so called bad behaviour anyways @mindhunter? But thanks for bringing this topic to my attention.

Hello my serial resteemer! 7/10 i.e. 70% of your last 10 posts were resteems! Last week it was 90%!! Terrible behaviour from the Mamma :D 

I have to admit that I was a little bit shocked, not knowing that re-blogging might be bad on steemit! Is it ? 

I let you decide and wait for your feedback. 

I will explain a bit why I enjoy helping interesting new and older members in our community and their great posts nobody seems to notice. 

Helping newbies on this platform is essential for me. 

I found my way to do so and nobody can stop me :) 

I decided at some point to re-steem articles, I feel deserve better exposure. First, I wanted to keep my blog clean with my own posts only. I changed my mind because I am not the selfish kind of girl when it comes to promoting great content. 

I read so many good articles daily but see them drowing in the pool of the trendsetting superstars.  

I do not count on whales favours nor votes but of course thankful when they find me. Out of my own experience I suggest and advice to build your own network, sub communities and get your loyal followers.  

I worked hard since June 2016 and proud of my 873 more / less fans. I thank you for your votes and therefore inspiration as well as motivation to keep on steeming and powering-up to make this platform stronger every day. 

Its so much fun to be here with you, collecting my yummy steem peanuts, learning about cryptocurrency I never heard of before I joined this blockchain. 

My great grand children might love to hear some interesting stories in the future.  

Who needs Facebook unless your clients, family and friends are there posting their special moments you need to know? I joined all of those social platforms since Friendster and My Space but happy that I landed on that Moon. 

  


Toucheeee my dear critique @mindhunter chest fighter ! lol !!!

I gave you a great image to work with!

My panties look a bit different though

I don't resteem as it clogs up my blog list of what I posted.

I feel the same but what to do if you want to support others as well? Do you have other ways to help new members? Isn't it important to keep them at the platform? I saw too many good ones leave

I support the ones I like with the up vote and that is it. I want my followers to be able to review my blog for my work not others.

Your upvotes are very powerful! Mine are not 😉

Do you know any of the bitcoin group in Bali? I am thinking of staying somewhere not too expensive next winter and would love to use bitcoin while there.

I am not sure if it's possible to use bitcoins in Bali but I could introduce you to a few people who live there and also authors on steemit . At the moment I am in Vienna. DM me on steemit chat. Also @rok-sivante might know some people. He lived there for 5 years. I need to look up their avatars. If you need a driver who shows you the best places I can suggest mine . He works with me and my airbnb guests for many years.

Thanks I have never used Steemit chat but do want to learn more about Bali...I have found a group their that is a small bitcoin community. Bali might be too expensive for me to kill 2-3 months - probably Panama, Cuba or other places in Asia like Cambodia or Thailand. I want to live under $700 CAD or $600 USD per month for food and board.

It's possible but Bali is a bit more expansive than other Asian destinations. There is a small bitcoin community in Ubud . Homestays are cheap, food as well. A scooter is approx 50 USD per month. Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand might be better for you

Steemit UI shall get a separate channels for ReSteem and own posts. For exactly the same reason like you I almost never ReSteem. Too keep the channel clean. But mine is relatively clean since I do like to ReSteem to support some of the articles I really really love. And ReSteem by others is almost a must for new users and small minnows to get some support/votes for their posts, since the all-you-can-eat model of Steemit UI/channels (and Busy.org) is not really helping visibility of posts.

Thx for keeping the conversation going.

Your welcome :)

Several members I already see active in asking for better UI, and I'm doing that as well and I just hope someone in STINC will notice and put good stuff on the short term roadmap so that we as the users can have a much better user experience.

...and we will get there. I think the platform is great and time will develop it like a fine wine!

The concept is fantastic! No doubt about that!
Software, backend/frontend development takes time. The backend is now worked on further to get better scalable and all as far as I understand, and that is super important before growth.. I surely hope also the frontend get some attention soon. But I hear you, STINC must have a plan. I just would like to understand that plan :)

Mamma I am not a woman but still support you... ha...ha. ! Anyway, sometimes resteemed is good idea, when we found a good posting, Why do not share this good stuff to other ? I believe in "good karma will produce good karma" if we do it wisely. Anyway I when want to read again that good posting, just look at our feed and we will found it. Bagus mama ! :)

You are one of my super loyal fans and I really appreciate your friendship so much. I agree with you more than 1000% . We know what Karma means . right ? @macksby

Everything is considered bad behavior by somebody. Personally, I appreciate having resteemed articles in my feed.

Meeeee toooo !
Who decides what's bad is my question.

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

Personally, I don't think that it is bad. I will actually feel honoured that someone keep re-steeming my posts :p Meaning I give good contents for people to see

I feel the same as you do and always so happy when I realize somebody liked my articles ! Let's NOT stop :)

I think reSteeming helps with spreading content and getting information that isn't on our feeds out there! Not forgetting the great people you discover. Totally onboard with resteems. :)

You just got a new follower :) Nice to meet you and glad to know that you agree to discover more forgotten Steemians.

Likewise, thank you! :)

💃

Do whatever you want. Let me get my bat and take care of this.

Hahaahh .....OMG 😲

Resteemed :-)

Hahaha ......cool !
What you think ? Is it bad behaviour to resteem? I am truly confused. Thanks for your support always.

Man kann auch alles überkomplizieren ;-) deswegen habe ich das sofort demonstrativ resteemed ;-)
Das was aber toll wäre wenn jemand auf deinen Blog kommt hat er 2 Optionen.

  1. Er sieht deine Posts als erstes und
  2. daneben gibt es einen button wo man deine resteems sehen kann.
    Das wäre das einzigste was ich zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt in diesem Zusammenhang für verbesserungsmäßige halte .
    Ansonsten finde ich gerade, im hier und im jetzt, resteemen voll in Ordnung.
    You are welcome :-)

I agree with you very much so but I heard it's not possible to create 2 blog pages . I would be very interested to see such improvements

Schade das wäre ein tolles Feature gewesen. Wahrscheinlich geht das blockchaintechnisch nicht.

Ja und ob !
maybe somebody from @steemit will see my post and has an answer

The whole reason the resteem feature was introduced to steemit was to help good content get noticed. That is what its stated purpose was. How can using it be bad?
There were some who suggested creating a new feed just for resteems so your own posts do not get mixed with resteems. Nothing ever happened with that idea. And then one day the active tag disappeared which I miss.
Steem and resteem to your hearts content.

these separate feed i heard of too and it would make a lot sense, need to bring that to the table again

Exactly ! We really need this option

I fully agree with a separate feed for the ReSteems. I do ReSteem but limited to keep my post channel kind of clean, as well to allow myself to better search back in my own post feed. But, ReSteem is really much required in the current UI design to give good post visibility. I think that a lot of good posts of especially newbies but also the whole lot of small minnows get lost too quickly to get even any attention other than from some other newbies and auto voters.

Does anyone know why the removed the active feed? It really helped get more exposure and then one day without any discussion it was gone.

I guess I was to late signing up to Steemit to get experience of the active feed. What was it doing?

Every time someone made a comment on your post it would go to the top of the active feed. This was a separate feed from Trending and Hot and was called Active. It did not matter how old the post was if someone commented on it, it went back to the top of the Active feed.

o wow, that is a great channel/feed indeed! hmmm, can't think of a reason why removing it. maybe it could be gamed too much? bots posting comments at right times? when done on specific posts (the bot owners and users posts) this would give tremendous advantages to the few who have bots or have access to bots?

That could be a reason but bots could game the Hot and Trending feeds too if used correctly

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

Correct, but different parameters are used to populate the Trending and Hot channels. I don't know the algorithms behind the channels, but I guess the hot channel has number of votes in the formula, and the Trending has payout in the formula. To game payout, you need a lot of voting power, so that is more difficult to manipulate. To game votes, that is indeed what happens all over with the vote trains, trails and guilds. Note: most guilds, trains etc are not bad and are not there to game (ie for own profit), but it is manipulating the system in such a way a human poster/curator can not do.

Yes it was perfect because it showed who is really interacting and not just autovoted without any comments nor interest in the post.

Very true! Don't you think this also happens also now on the trending page. I am tired to see the same people there

meep Hahhaa

I do remember those days

Why did they take it away and didn't even debate it first? I liked that feature. Since it's removal the interactions on my Open Mic contest went down.

Sorry to hear. Without the auto voters I also would get lost in seconds. is the contest still running ? @edje we should invite @luzcypher on our discord music channel

Yes, the contest is still running. I'm on discord as a curator for steemtrail. @music-trail , @gardening-trail , and @travel-trail specifically. What channel are you on Discord?

I am also autovoting for my favourite authors because I don't want to miss out on their articles I usually end up reading later. All others keep on drowing and yes the active tag was great.

I am with you on this 1000% but I heard that this feature to split is not possible . I am not sure why. Maybe @gtg can explain it better .

Of course, it's possible. Ity may not be a priority right now with other more pressing issues but it is possible.

Such a cute post. If you (and you do) resteem interesting stuff it is fine!

so good to see your name on my posts again! I mostly reblog about my personal interests such as Bali, Vienna and just important content or for support of great unnoticed authors who need help. I love to "abuse" and use my followers to expose good content.

I started with too much resteems a lot told me - then I reduced it but think all that helps newbies get started is awesome.

meep

And what does that mean ? 😉

meep

roadrunner

meep

meep....meep meep?

meep

I still don't think it's wrong to help other people's content and it makes me happy to see that some really get more votes. I don't understand why it can be too much to support but that's just my opinion. I usually only reblog about topics I want to see on my own blog about Cool Art, Bali, Vienna :) and of course helpful tools for steemit. To call me lazy is simply off because I post a lot also myself.

You do it perfect @mammasitta - no one should call you lazy at all - tell me know and i will have a word with them (ok i think i need to read more - damn vacation....lol).

Haha no worries ! I can't take it . Enjoy your holidays

I like that feature for now. As long as I'm following small number of people I enjoy browsing through posts that they found interesting, however, it's easy for me to imagine that soon my feed would be unbearable stream of randomness. ;)

Good point! It would be great to have options to split content we like and keep our own blog clean

MIAOW MIAOW!!

Excellent post lady @mammasitta congratulations for the good work you do on the platform and the support you give people, to continue good deeds,
I like your work so I conquered a new follower

I have no power or let's say too little for now and can only give 0 to 1 cent , so I found my own ways to help and I will continue to do so. I could reblog so many more but select topics I am personally interested in. I agree that we should be moderate using this feature.
Nice to meet you too 😉

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

My vote for this comment, although my power is even less than yours :( Please fellow Steemians, give some votes to @mammasitta comment above.

Hahhaa ! Power to the steeming power 😂👻

The pleasure was all mine lady @mammasitta

I should have rephrased it as lazy behaviour not bad behaviour :) Too many senior lazy bum posters during the refresh period - I'm glad to have kicked your bum into action! Love you Mamma!<3 Upvoted instantaneously :))

Lazy ? I am more and more in Awwwww:) today
I am waiting for your resteem hahaa

RESTEEMED :)

Well deserved Re-steems .....I counted 6 so far
Maybe you look at my blog if you consider me as lazy.
I need to get offline now to breath in and out that I can create my next blog post with all articles I wrote so far. Kiss Kiss !

you got a lot of attention today :) I am happy it makes you feel good and funny

Your right though Mamma ... I do need to cut back on the blah blah ... too much fireworks inside me!! I can pass you maybe one firework for the new refresh & then we can both Steem on like rockets! Ha ha! Love you.<3x

its ok to blah blah as it is ok to reblog . I got your point and it was fun but now I get offline . don't get a chill with your panties t shirt you posted earlier . I forgot where it was but it made me laugh . Thats what we all should do. more daily giggles

great. and Id be frank. I am about a week old here and this platform is still like a complex maze to me.

You are not alone :) I felt the same but with a bit of persistence you will get there. I hope my post and my resteem will help you a little bit. I really love your work .

Thanks for the help offered. I politely decline any favors. Please Resteem anything that is worth resteeming and not as a favor. Hope you underatand what I mean. :) Glad I found someone sensible here :)

Favor ? I really feel some kind of defense attitude . I am not doing favors . I do what I feel is right. I suggest you read about the blockchain technology and how steemit works to understand why we landed here. It took a few months of interacting with other members to build my followers. You can't avoid injustice anywhere. Good luck reading and posting. The more followers you have the better your visibility. You just got me and I follow you now to see more of your work . If I like I vote or not . Have a great morning in India , my eve in Vienna. Try eSteem App if you post from your phone and keep in mind everything you write will stay locked in the blockchain forever

I just asked a simple hypothetical question, what are my options to leave? I am not leaving, why are you assuming that. I just told you its uncomfortable right now. And this upvoting I dont understand. Have a great evening in Vienna :) Its late night in India.

Deactivate your account I guess
I don't assume anything
I had to figure it out as well
Good luck once again

There is no deactivate account button

Thank You. But I hope you get my point. Please think from a new users perspective and you would understand that I am not against Steemit. Its like a Musician just joined a Dance Class and while all is obvious for the Dancers, the musician continues to feel out of place for a few days.

Learn how to dance . It takes time if you are interested. I tried to help a little. The rest is up to you.

I'm not a woman (but I self identify as a Lesbian Eskimo midget lol) but I heartily support your project! Why would resteeming be bad... it helps expand the viewer base so it would benefit the poster.

hahahaha I am so thankful for so much fun today and laughs even now. Lesbian Eskimo hits the right spot Rich! Nobody stops me anyways

Good for you my friend! I got that impression of you and your support for other women contributors is wonderful!

I try my best :)

In the immortal words of Richard Simmons... You're fabulous baby, fabulous!!!

You are such a charming man and how much I wish to have a real chat with you over dinner and champagne :) Thank you so so so much

Thank you, you just made my week! That's the best offer I've had in 10 years!!!

sweetness ! I mean it !
I got an airbnb room :) and I love to be your host and also show you Vienna ( one of my passions )

@mindhunter might get a little cold in the car with those kitten panties on.
Big panties make much more sense.

hahaa ! image

super super! :)

meaning you do agree that I re- steem ??? I guess so :) 1Love!

SURE!!!! It is the only way to bring GOOD post to others, especially those GOOD posts of the minnows with relatively low number of followers. Like with the other social media, it would have been great if a ReSteemer can add some text of its own to the ReSteem, but that doesn't change the fact that ReSteeming is a very good method to support good articles!

I am Not that Baaad nor lazy then hahaha !!! @mindhunter

for sure not! ReSteem is good!

For most it's ok

For any good article, it is good! for sure :)

It's not bad, but your original posts gets lost in the pile. People want to read from you. I also re steem once in a while, things I believe are worth their place in my feed. Try to have at least half of the content you put out there to be yours. Your followers will appreciate it.

Thanks for your advice. I will continue to do what is right from my feelings. It's not all about me and my exposure. It's about a feel as a community. My duty is to support newcomers and certain topics of my own interest.
The ones who read my articles know well that I am not lazy .
It's an issue of the UI to split those blogs. ( ours and others ) it's about time to find a solution

IMHO it is not a bad behavior but sometimes can be very annoying when I am looking for something that was posted (and not resteemed) by a given author. I think that is an UI/UX issue, which would be solved eventually.

I totally agree that there should be 2 different blogs . Our own and the rebloggrd ones. Would be great to even have an option to add your own remarks why we resteem the article. Can't you guys push for this ?

Resteeming visibility issues are known but I think it is about priorities. If I would have to choose, then before improving Resteems, I would like them to implement Communities. That would be great step forward and maybe it would even change the way we would like Resteems to work.
Time would tell.

BTW, do you know if busy.org is dealing with Resteems any better?

Good question ! I never used busy.org Just too much going on with all other apps . I am short with my reply because I am out with friends. I really like your ideas

@gtg could you try to push this topic to other witnesses ?

Witnesses can't do anything about it, it is UI/UX issue of a frontend and need to be solved by developers making websites. For steemit.com, running on condenser it is already submitted here: Make resteemed posts stand out visually in the feed. Still open, tagged as an feature-request and enhancement, so there's a chance that it would be eventually solved.

Super super news and info ! Thanks so much !

Personally, I think it is good to resteem, I love it if my posts are resteemed.

It is good because I realized very good results but I would prefer if they could split our our blog and add a reblogged one.
