"What We Write on Steemit Echoes Forever on the Steem Blockchain." - Randy Hilarski
We have had a huge unflux of new users over the last few months and I feel the need to put out a public service announcement. Steemit is unlike any other social media platform on the internet. After the 7 day payout has occurred you can no longer edit your blog posts. Your work will now forever be part of the Steem Blockchain.
Thousands of years from now people might be looking at my Steemit posts contemplating the thoughts of a Crypto Currency evangelist and speaking of me like we speak of Aristotle or Confucius today. At least I can hope!

Agreed it's an important check-and-balance and worth spending a few minutes thinking about what you'll say if in squabbles with others. I wonder if human resource offices will start checking to see what you post here before hiring you....scary in some cases!

What bothers me the most is that, once we add a native video player (SteemQ or Bitchute) and people start uploading videos directly on Steem's blockchain, we could expect all kind of videos immortalize in the blockchain, and that includes videos of murders, rape, gore stuff, etc etc... There have been a lot of cases of criminals uploading ugly videos on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and due to the centralized nature of such platforms those videos can be removed when an authority ask for it, but that won't be the case with Steemit and other decentralized solutions.
Just my humble opinion, idk if I'm missing something.

Good advice. I try to be reserved if I'm writing a plannned post but can rant on a bit if I see hypocrisy from a politician or celebrity. Getting into a slanging match with other Steemians however is a no-no though as all opinions are valid if well researched regardless of whether you agree or not. This platform can't be allowed to become as shallow as Facebook etc

Let's play "Word Association" for a moment: What comes to mind when I read your post are the words "Integrity" and "Accountability." Both of which (I feel) the world could use a lot more of... so maybe Steemit truly can make the world a better place...

also thank you for putting it out there, you've formed the topic perfectly, I do hope more people think once or twice before stepping in and making an ass of themselves here and there, it's a fine line between trolling and getting flagged by bernie :D skeptic and matrixdweller style
and lastly I linked your "Cash Out" post :) along with some "trade advice" from me :)

You called it perfectly, your experience shows, logical reasoning :)
I think I will let this blow off for a bit, I have my btc "stashed" away in obits and steem, it would be nice to make up my investment and the same amount to cash out, just by trading :D so that would be 20usd and 20steem approximately but I've missed the swings this time and it's my first time trading

I was actually just considering this recently. If Steemit is able to gain mainstream success it is likely that users will have their real names and identities linked to their profiles more often that currently.
Employers are known to check social media accounts of perspective job applicants, and a post they made numerous years ago can even turn out to be problematic. Unlike traditional social media, posts, comments, and any other actions will be stored on the blockchain forever. Great post!

Great reminder! I think most of us are aware of how social media posts can come back to haunt people years later, but it's extra important for people to know that the stuff they write here can't be erased. I try to keep my posts positive, and my comments curious, but kind. I'm sure I'll regret some of my earlier posts, but only because I hope to get better at it over time and not because I've chosen words that are hurtful or cruel.

Hey @hilarski sounds like you are living the dream... Have you ever thought of #CostaRica ? ... My husband and I are thinking of visiting Costa Rica.. I love BC too.. silver is also a fav.. have a great day..
As far as this post.. almost forgot lol.. anyway, I came back now that we can post photos easily.. used to be not so easy 8 months ago so I left..there was a post I could do get the photo in so I edited the words in the post.. NOT suggesting anyone do this.. I was confused.. Anyway it doesn't exit.. it is there as a blank post... I did redo it later .. I also left the title so it all made sense .. https://steemit.com/diy/@rebeccabe/diy-how-to-carve-the-perfect-pumpkin

Seriously though. I was raised to believe government should be transparent and the people had a right to privacy. It could be done here as well. Much the same way the nsfw posts work. Password protected or something (for our entire page). I guess I am not understanding what all this transparency is about. So it limits what I am going to post about. In fact, not much. A sort of self-imposed censorship. Haha. Call me crazy, but I value my right to privacy.

Steem's content is immutable. That's great, because any truth will not be hidden due to "selfish" deletion reason.
I mean "selfish" are who are greedy to share something useful, "enclosed easter egg", "fame but not fame", and "anti good spreader".
I mean "enclosed easter egg" is something interesting made to be hidden and classified same as nation's classified document level so it impossible to reveal it.
I mean "fame but not fame" is something to be exhibited but it being hidden same as psychologist patient's secret story/secret identity.
I mean "anti good spreader" are who share something useful, interesting but not intended to promote it, etc. but it being hidden same as prototype of the project or privacy reasons or no free promotional reasons.

Spot on! I would say that has been my favorite part about Steemit so far. Acceptance and respect for others thoughts, ideas and works is 100x better on the Steemit than Facebook/Twitter etc. I am sure trolling takes place somewhere here, but I have yet to see it. It doesn't "pay" to be a jerk or non-contributing member. That doesn't mean no dissenting options just respectful dissension.

So true! This alone should end the name-calling and childish behavior I sometimes see here.
I'm sure I fail at this often. I post controversial things because I enjoy the process of talking out my ideas and hearing counter-opinions. I'm sure I'll lose business opportunities in the future because of things I've written here others strongly disagree with. To me, that's a cost/benefit analysis. That might not also be what you're taking about though. If I put something here which was fraudulent or immoral, then it could be used against me, and it would be justified.
As of the last hardfork, there's an option to temporarily make archived posts editable. I'm hoping @jesta will play around with those options on ChainBB and that eventually the Steemit interface will support it as well. Even then, ultimately, everything we ever post here is here forever somewhere on the blockchain. For me, that means staying humble and being quick to apologize when I screw up.

I agree 100% but at least what say on here is censored, shadow banned, or down right removal of your content based on any objection. Agree or not with someone doesn't mean they don't have the right to say it. With that what said above is a great point we must remember that it is there forever.
