Couple this with the fact that nobody can have their account closed down and we see how powerful this concept it. This moves in the opposite direction of where the present social media companies stand.
Oh man this whole "closing the accounts just because" is like a plague nowadays. You can get banned for saying just a simple word that others deem "bad". Don't let me start about the whole flagging thing. You can post something, another person usually a sjw can consider it fascist,toxic,patriarchy oriented or whatever, gather up some friends and bad the account. The platform turns a blind eye, they don't care about the truth and give power to ignorant people for the sake of money ofc! (even though i believe longterm they actually losing)
We are at a point that a whole bunch of people are actually afraid to post anything especially anything that may go against the sjw beliefs while a bunch of others post whatever nonsense or fakes news they find out there!
For about 7 years now i don't comment or post anything in the mainstream social media, as i see no point doing it there while in steemit then hive and leo i may have made over 150+ articles and i can't even count the comments :P
Of course, there can be a lot of rubbish posted. That is the price we pay for giving people the freedom to post as they wish. Also, there might be a lot of outlandish stuff proposed. Again, this is what freedom is all about.
This in a way is an issue but i agree that's what freedom is about. Although, in my opinion the majority of people that use these platforms tend to be more openminded, open to criticism and don't care that much to open up fights, cause problems but instead want to succeed!
Sure we got a lot of rubbish posted but it's exactly as you said rubbish. Copy/paste posts, no meaning ones, not like what's happening in traditional social media in which mostly every posts is like a huge fight scene! (it has to do with the number of active people as well)
Finally, man what an awesome post i have to admit it! I really enjoy the part that you right lengthy posts and have the creativity and consistency to do it a every day!

Thanks for the vote of confidence. It provides the motivation to keep going.
Yeah the traditional social media is nothing but a cesspool of negativity and infighting. Politics has penetrated most aspects of our society these days and, unfortunately, it is all toxic. From science to sports to business, it is all politically based and toxic. There is no debate just bomb throwing back and forth.
That is until the banning bot gets going. Then the dissenting voices are silenced.
