RE: Why they still voting on witnesses if they don't want governance ?!

in DCooperation5 years ago

They weren't flagged because of racism, but because of circling votes and distributing them only between them. They weren't supporting the community. It's not healthy for the chain. We should support the quality in steem but not only pur friends. That's the proof of brain and it should be supported. I'm not telling that we shouldn't support our followers as well, but we should't create close circles of upvotes.

Sort:  

Using racist slogans against somebody because of underlying issues with the person other than his ethnicity doesn't make it any less racist! There is a different way of saying things possible!

If you think about it racism is always caused by underlying reasons

In America it was mainly poor white people that didn't want to be put suddenly on the same social and economic level as people who they were told they were better than all their lives just because of a different skin colour...

In Germany before the Holocaust Hitler ignited the nation by explaining to the poverty stricken nation how it's all the fault of a small wealthy part of the society who aren't even Germans...

It's always about the money if u dig deep enough

You see, you are saying yourself. It's not about racism like I said in the post. I think those witnesses just want others to respect ethics !

If those said witnesses hadn't been doing exactly the same themselves maybe I'd buy it...ethics and rules.. I think that was a situation were certain changes to the code should have been made by developers instead of a very unclear situation of rewarding some and punishing others for the same actions basicaly
Self voting Vs buying votes what's the difference? And yet buying votes became widely acceptable even though it is or was against the ethics and rules that applied at the time.

And anyway if a black person stole your car and then later in court when asked if you recognize who it was and you'd reply

  • yes your honour it's that "fucking nigger" over there I'm pretty sure there would be a fair chance of you spending the night in the cell next door to him.

I'm not saying flag wars were caused by racism i am saying there was a lot of racist slurs flying around at the time!and that didn't help anybody in anything

On a different matter Any idea whats happening with steem on poloniex there is literally 400 steem in the order book? Is Sun taking all the steem he can from his exchange:)?

We always had issues with poloniex. Most steemians are not using it anymore. A lot of steemians already lost money there. They may never send that. Or maybe they powered up that to vote for witnesses and their clients should wait when they will power down or they may pay from their pockets.

Word of advice if you think poloniex is bad don't get anywhere near hitbtc.com
I am honestly ashamed of myself for having defended their actions a few times online.

Are u a witness?

yeah, hitbtc also scamed so many people. No, I'm just an active steemian. And the founder of @dcooperation community !
