RE: POLL: Will You Edit Your Post Following The Advice To Improve IT?
They tried me to do it too and I refused. After all my account was old plus signed up to be anonymous.
I know others at first did and next removed their photo.
To me a photo isn't any proof, it can be a sister or neighbour or whomsoever.
As they tried to get as many new Steemians as possible also gangs arrived. Entire villages, corrupt and threatening to kill the wife, daughters (little children) you name.
The last Steemit day in Aceh was also a huge disaster, fooling the Steemit Team included.
The same counts for Nigeria and other countries.
It all runs into one family clan where one rules and has all tasks on Steemitband divides them under the workers (who do not get paid).
Many can hardly read.
There's also a lot of envy /, corruption and threats against the moderators if they refuse to give upvotes and to scam the Steemit Team. The result is the good ones left because of all the stress and their families be put in danger.
Not very social if it comes to a platform being called social media. This is downside of people only joining because of false promises telling them they will be rich overnight.
Those are really villains; It's difficult sympathize even if they had to do it because of poverty when they threatened others like this. At first, when you mentioned the situation, I was still thinking it was just an argument between this site and another site that got really bad. I really underestimated how terrible people can be. They turned this place into such a hellish place. Now I know why there is such extreme verification around. Sadly, like you said, it can be a picture of anyone.
I agree. It's not social at all.
There are times when you’d be better off keeping quiet, or when I’ll do it instead. If I don’t like it here, I’ll just do my own thing. By now, I feel as though I’m back where I was two years ago: people acting like they’re better than everyone else and thinking they know everything better than anyone else. Creativity is hard to come by, as are flexibility and a genuine willingness to help one another. So-called ‘help’ from curators is really just about lining their own pockets, not about actually giving anyone useful tips on how to gain visibility – after all, imagine if you were to be upstaged. That’s something that’s very much at play here. And the fact that they focus more on women, for that matter…
Once you’re aware of it, you can of course let it get to you, but I’m using the mute button more and more often. I’ve just had a quick look round Steem for Betterlife, which, after Dream Steem, seems to be turning into Steemit’s dustbin.
A community where pretty much everyone used to start out, I hope every moderator does. Now it’s a rudderless mess and nobody reads each other’s posts or gives each other a helping hand – I find that so sad. I’ve gone and written another old-fashioned moderator’s report, posted it in the forum along with a link – and I can only hope people read it and take advantage of it. This, of course, applies to the flexible sort who want to achieve something, not to the rigid types who think they know it all and fail to realise that if they all go down, we’ll all go down with them. The domino effect is in full swing…
I’m happy with ccc and the Community for art and artists, free from all this whingeing.
We don't know it all. Nothing good would come out of it if we insisted we know it all. But sadly, there's always people like that around.
Back then, I tried to ride on the coat tails of everyone that posted hoping to have perhaps a bit of earning. The more I voted them the more I realized that none of them bothered to support others.
Is Steem for Betterlife the one that posted those diary like posts? I rarely check out other communities these days. I would go straight to CCC and 2 others communities.
Steem for Betterlife did a lot for Steemit and also came up with the idea of saving/the clubs. Indonesians rarely save like many others let alone think about the future.
The diarygame was a project of the Steemit team back then. Pity enough many who took part back then and hoped to be rewarded are still not able to write or still do not write something else.
Something new spreads fast if rewards are involved, but if a project ends no one notices.
One thing, it's a whole different world in Steemit compared with what I'm used to. The way they write and all, it's just so different. You and a few others I got to know here are the exception.
