RE: Compact Broadcast Node: Low Cost Infrastructure to support Keychain, Splinterlands, Steem Engine and Future Apps

Steem is better off if kawaiicrush leaves šŸ™‚ and if you donā€™t know this, then you are speaking without even taking 5 secs to look.. which is not beneficial.

If you donā€™t understand downvotes and why they are important, then you donā€™t understand the rewards pool. Rather than raging, take a few moments to educate yourself before attacking others.

There are no justice warriors here, there are people using up and downvotes (based on their stake) which then reaches a consensus and the inflation is paid out based on that.

Downvotes are part of a healthy ecosystem and this one is valid.

I totally understand the system and the goal that is behind that. What I don't do, is to mix up strategy and empowerment. It's the perspective of the power balance in this system that makes it dangerous. The way I've seen downvotes generally used in HF21/22 is fantastic, but I don't think it will stay that way.

The Steemians with the biggest stakes can now enroll a lot of regulation, as they could have since a very long time. But until now they would do that very selective and not based on systematic, or maybe even fully automated rules. Only with the free downvotes, it really makes sense to build downvote systems that strive for a better STEEM environment for . . . . B L A N K S P A C E . . . . .. they can choose for whom.

My father told me once, the best political system in the world might be a perfectly just King. I still don't believe in that. People have different needs and opinions and the people should be the real King.

If you really want to have a giant ecosystem where big STEEM stakes do good for everyone, there might have been less intrusive ways of doing that. Maybe limit the maximum size of upvotes/downvotes or create even smarter curation curves that can perfectly adjust to soft parameters, improve the UI to showcase extensively good content based on upvotes per views or general overperformance of an author. But who am I to suggest such things, I'm sure you already get the idea.

Your obsession with @berniesanders is pathetic. Get a life.

Where in my above comment to I support abusive behavior? Stop reaching.. I donā€™t play those games.

Downvotes are good for the ecosystem, no form of abuse is.

Well I canā€™t really do anything about TOS, I donā€™t own the site. I also believe there are many accounts doing more harm than the ā€œBernie onesā€ you mention.

Iā€™m aware of his downvotes to specific accounts and even though Iā€™m not a fan of downvoting due to disagreements, I also think our actions have consequences and many accounts feel they can troll and attack then cry foul when itā€™s returned. I would argue these accounts who are causing harm are also driving investors away.

So, Iā€™m one who feels the situation is not as black and white as itā€™s painted to be.. with that being said Iā€™ve flagged his accounts many times and hope he finds a more positive path.

Itā€™s not my fight, I do what I can.

(And when I tried to make it my fight and solve the ā€œturmoilā€, your buds are the ones who viciously attacked me šŸ˜‰... so maybe you guys need to look in the mirror a bit.)
