leaving steemit. it was fun while it lasted
this is blatant moderation and censorship just like reddit

so i got 11 upvotes and 1 view and that permits anyone to flag and hide my post... what a fucking shithead community

selling all my steem dollars and will not promote this crap site anymore.. i used to be one of the biggest promoters.. done with it

this is exactly the same problem as with the people opposing Donald Trump. people want to censor other people whos opinion they don't like because they think they are in the right... this is not how democracy or spirituality or proper human behavior works

    Its pathetic, I stopped months ago. This is my first comment since ages, because I second your stance completely.
    I'd call it self proclaimed pseudo-elite, these people are just full of shit. Let alone Steemcleaners. Nerds, wankers, bird-brained narrow minded idiots. And then they wonder why they're stuck at ~1.000 authors.

        in the past i used to understand censorship.. because credit card companies etc. put a lot of pressure on websites... now with bitcoin there is no reason for censorship anymore aside from trying to control other people... its just extremely disgusting to witness it on a forum which think itself different from reddit etc.

            i found out what actually is going on.. 3 bot accounts doing spamming via posts also spam via flagging other accounts posts... crazy shit... bot flagging shouldnt be even possible. i think the whole concept of flagging is flawed anyway

              The whales are coders. So they have 'auto-matic' content makers. Also vote brigades. And the bot flagging you mention, to destroy any content they feel is not worthy of steem. "with bitcoin there is no reason for censorship anymore aside from trying to control other people". The solution is not follow, or not up vote. The flag thing has just alienated X% of the non-whalers.
