@freezepeach supports racist authors

It seems like this promising service supports some right-winger, racist zealots.

That being said I will counter every vote of @freezepeach with downvotes.

Delegators of @freezepeach, make sure you audit how your SP is used.

Flagging is also free speech.

Free speech is free speech; if it's applied selectively, then it's meaningless. I'm sorry your ideology is so weak it can't take criticism, but not to worry, because we'll still upvote flags when adherents to your particular brand of "ism" get flagged as well.

naww.... @r0nd0n you used my terminology..... im tearing up.... "ism" is catchin on :)

Here, recover that comment with @freezpeach upvote. oh you cant. Because all you have a minnow stake. And you use that SP to support racists.

Using your SP to support normal people would help for your cause.

@freezepeach allows authors to curate their own comments, so it can't be used in this case. Cheers.

What the fuck?

Does the dapp just vote on everyone using it? Hence "supporting racism" like this post assumes?

@freezepeach tries to neutralize flags that are based on disagreement of opinion by matching them vest for vest. It does not reward anyone, but allows people to speak freely as long as they're not calling/wishing or otherwise threatening violence on another person or group of people.

Although I don't really see the point since even if something is flagged it's still there and many check out flagged comments more often than regular ones. This whole "a percentage of them being voted are racist thus I will counter every vote of it because I can" motive of OP seems absurd, though.

True. But, that monetary value seems to hit people really hard psychologically.

For many that's why they use Steem so it's understandable. Will be more fun when there are people here using it just because they want to.

Maybe if condensor didn't hide posts below payment threshold, it wouldn't be as much of a problem, but as it is, there is a psychological effect that I don't know how to overcome. Also, I actually like the feature when it's applied to spam/plag/etc.

It's about retention more than anything. People come here to escape the thought police of facebook/youtube/etc, only to find that it's the same in some regards. While nothing can truly be censored here, the same tool that fights spammers/plagiarizes/reward farms is being used to stifle speech. The optics of this have much greater implications than can be seen at the surface.

I just did my first ever film edit about that....great fun!

Yet, it supports authors constantly posting hate speech towards a group of people.

Ex:

  • muslims are terrorists
  • Xs fucks goats

(Based on a true story.)

I guess it's true if it hurts you so bad. I can't imagine any insult about my culture that would send me into such an emotional tizzy.

What makes you think that this person attacks to my culture? :)

And your comment is just disgusting. thanks for showing the real personality inside you.

I am now %100 sure about my actions.

Your emotional reactions are all I need to know what I've said is true. If you thought about this logically for one sec, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Looks like we have a real genious, there.

Why are you flagging his comments?

It's his blog, I'm just an unwanted guest. But I'll make sure he wastes all his power on me instead of some hapless bloke just trying to make sense of this crazy world.

No worries, I have always enough VP for people like you.

I see your flags keep getting lower and lower, and it's quite obvious you have no idea about me or who I am.

Keep dancing for me, I'm happy to live rent free in your head.

Good thing you aren't letting it go to your head.

Tbh even flagging something on your own blog doesn't justify shit, lol.

Then I suppose I will need to up-vote them with the little stake I am holding for the sake of protecting diversity of thought.

The thing about protecting free speech is that you are going to defend things that are offensive, offensive speech is the only kind that needs any protection, what some people call "hate speech", have you ever heard of someone having their "love speech" silenced? The solution to racists and those who offend you is not to try to silence them, it is to let them speak and expose themselves for what they are and use logic and reason to demonstrate the inferiority of their ideas.

have seen "love speech" silenced many a time.... unrequited love is a bitch and people can be mean, but dats life right ? lolz

Perhaps by jaded ex girlfriends but no one gets arrested for non offensive speech in those places where speech is criminalized.

are you suggesting it is only females that are the null love parties in unrequited love ? bit sexist innit ? #WomensRights , lolz.

What you said is "have you ever heard of someone having their "love speech" silenced?" i answered, and now you want to change the dynamic of the question coz you dont like the answer..... come on mate, lolz

I should have been more clear about it being silenced by government force.

im just playn with ya mate, all good :P

This is awkward...

Maybe a dPoll is needed- - - Free Speech, Real or Imaginary?

Time is a river,this is one year old !BEER



Hey @emrebeyler, here is a little bit of BEER from @isnochys for you. Enjoy it!

All these people who got kicked off other social media for hate speech are telling each other steemit is some hate friendly zone. It says right there when you hit the flag button that hate speech is a valid reason.

Hate speech is a meaningless phrase, and what you have taken a picture of instead of screencapping for some reason is just an opinion from Steemit inc. You can flag for any reason you want, as it's your stake, but anyone can see the thought policing by the cultural marxists on all the other popular platforms is causing people to flee in droves, even those who don't espouse "hate speech", because it's a slippery slope and many are recognizing that and fleeing to upcoming platforms. If you think that policing thought will help steem more than it will hurt it, than you're welcome to your opinion, but from all I can tell it's not the right approach for our already horrendous retention rate.
