Just joined Steemit after extreme censorship by Facebook.

in #lee7 years ago (edited)

Hey folks, I just joined. Still figuring things out. Finally reached my breaking point with Facebook - Well, in fact, I've been exploring other platforms for awhile now. But I recently did a video on the extreme censorship anti-establishment voices like myself have been receiving on Facebook, and they responded by pulling it down and telling people it looked like spam. (So I guess they proved my point.) I have 335,000 follows there, but they hardly show my posts to anyone. It's clearly time to move on to a better way of communicating. I hope Steemit is the place.

Welcome to Steemit @leecamp
They'll be no censorship here mate.
I started a new tag recently #nomorefakenews so like minded folks can find posts written by seekers of the truth. Please feel free to use it where appropriate.
Best of luck on your Steemit journey dude.
@tremendospercy

Sadly, plenty of spammers though.

You're always going to get that nowadays especially when money is involved.

Welcome Lee! We are all new at this one together it looks like. And yes. F**k Facebook.

Introductory Steemit Post:

Hi Steemit, My Name Is Elizabeth Vos, Journalist and Editor In Chief at… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…

Disclaimer: I am just a bot trying to be helpful.

Yay! I think I'm going to like it here, all my favorite peeps are all in one uncensored, un-fucked-by-corporate-influence place :)

@leecamp - You're in the right place. Decentralization is the key to disintermediating these political parasites. Once people figure out this censorship resistant platform will also pay you, the days of FB, Twitter and the others will be numbered.

Absolutely. Facebook and Twitter are done, they just don't realise it yet.

Well this is the best news I've heard all day! Welcome to the Steem Blockchain Lee <3 Very happy to see you here :)

Welcome Lee. You make the news bearable. Thanks.

Welcome to Steemit.com!

Been waiting for you to get on here!

Love your show on RT!

Upvoted, Followed and Resteemed!

When I started FFRnews a few weeks before the 2016 presidential election I experienced growth of over 50 new followers daily. After the call to stop the spread of "fake news" Facebook stopped permitting me to advertise and limited the reach of my posts. It got to the point where it was not worth posting any longer. This is why platforms like Steemit are so important. Blockchain technology, that seemingly can't be censored, is going to change the world.

It's really like that on Facebook! I know bro... Their algorithms are absolutely ridiculous... Glad you decided to finally get off and come here.

I literally deleted (not deactivated- deleted) my Facebook account over 6 months ago, roughly around the time I decided to join Steemit. Best decision I ever made...

I think I've only accidentally hit Ctrl+T + F like 4 or 5 days since then. (Old Habits Die Hard, right?)

Never had the urge to go back on there... It's garbage designed to drain us of our energy and turn us into little dopamine rats for their social experiments.

hey lee -- heard about you from Suzie! Glad you are here. If you need a hand with getting up to speed on stuff here, I am at your service. I spent about 6 months making mistakes before I figured things out and got better at building my audience, engagement and steem power. I would hope I could keep you from repeating my mistakes. I'm a former journalist from Canada... economics, accountability, corruption, Indigenous issues are my wheelhouse. There's more on my blog if you want to check me out. Soo glad you made it here. It's a new day! The censorship and the gameplaying that occurs with Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and Youtube have no place here. It's an honest platform with integrity. Take care! And get in touch if you have any questions.

Hey Lee, welcome to Steemit - I have just joined up myself this January. Long term fan of Moment of Clarity, I have a signed copy of your book where you did a gig in the back of beyond in Northern England years ago. Your new show is brilliant. I hope you will get active here as the site could really do with people like you.

Lee!!!!! I am so happy to see you here.
Every time I tweet at you I get followed by porn bots.

Definitely not the audience I need trying to hosting all this kid friendly family gaming stuff.
So I honestly gave up and also moved elsewhere.

Be sure to check out @Zappl and all the other awesome addons to the main site. ^w^v
Human ingenuity at its best.
(Celebrate the peeps)

So yes all that said.

yay!!
Welcome!!!
We are so happy to have you join us and help make this platform a place worth staying and chatting in. ^w^v Thanks for being a voice in discussing everything honestly and openly.

Damn, another heavy-hitter joins the club. Welcome home!

Hey Lee. To hell with Facebook and their Zuckerbot programming. I haven't seen anything from you on there for months. I have to go and look for it. Even YouTube buries your videos. This platform is just taking off. I think you'll love it once you get the hang of it. I didn't understand it for a while, but I'm slowly getting hooked. Keep fighting. I love your work.

Nice hashtags you got there #Lee # Camp #redacted # tonight....LOLz

Welcome to Steemit ..love your show !!

@leecamp

Lee Camp is on Steemit!!Right after Elizabeth Leavos,what a day! F*ck Facebook and their censorship,we will win this battle! (PS: someone please bring Jimmy Dore and Abby Martin on board as well!)

Welcome! Good move, plenty of potential here! Ditched FB along time ago. Get out while you still can!
Though one must still be careful (or not) to not earn the wrath of a whale who could down vote you to hell, at least outright political censorship is not built into the system here..
Get your videos onto dlive too!
Saludos.

LEE!!! I am so happy you are over here! I don't do any other platform besides Minds and Steemit, Steemit is my favorite. Welcome and thanks for joining!

Welcome @leecamp, we've been waiting for you! :)

https://steemit.com/news/@lighteye/lee-camp-finally-at-steemit

You are doing a great job with “Redacted Tonight” and You will like it here, no doubt.

Now, if you could also bring Abby Martin here…

What I find interesting is that Facebook censors specific ads and news, so it comes down to 2 issues:

  • Ads about cryptocurrencies and other topics that are valid, although lacking in substance and potentially harmful for the user
  • Ads that promote fake news and/or stories that are fake. These usually do deceive the user, which is a huge issue for American politics

However, Steemit is a really great site that allows for many sides of experience and opinions. I think you'll enjoy it here. Have fun @leecamp !

The only comedian I listen to anymore @leecamp

Glad you moved over! Phase 2: Start posting here first!

Great to see you here @leecamp I took note as soon as I saw @suzi3d post that you were taking the plunge here to the Steemit platform. And yes, the censorship is out of control over on FB and youtube. One has to be pretty creative to get the real news out there but here on Steemit it is a whole new ballgame. Looking forward to your posts.

Cheers!

Did a great job.
Welcome!!

oh hi! nice seeing you over here. :)

Welcome bro...suckerburg can stick it where the sun don't shine!

Facebook and YouTube seem to be going downhill. Good move looking for another platform to post on.

Welcome to Steemit Lee. I've been following you on Twitter for a while so looking forward to your future posts. There is/was a Twitter type thing running off the Steem blockchain called Zappl which you might be interested in too. $170 for your 1st one paragraph post. Not too shabby !! In a week you'll have more Steempower than me but I'm not bitter ;-)

Lee has finally camped himself at steemit.... Wooshkaaaaa

Oh you're on RT so obviously you're taking your marching orders from Putin himself, you Russian colluding person you! ;-)

awesome welcome. I am here for a little over a month and love it.

Welcome to Steemit @leecamp I too feel like you about Facebook!!!

It's healthy to sneeze very hard before you do that . :-D
... and blow the dust away

Welcome to the crew buddy. My wife and I really enjoy your show. Good luck here on Steemit!

Welcome Lee!

I didn't know you existed I never used Facebook. But from the looks of it you are someone that i need to keep on my radar.

I'm new to steemit, social media as a whole and als new to crypto currency so i'm having a battle with about everything. But if this is a FB killer then i need to master this wild animal.

I still have a few concerns about Steemit, as it seems to have a lot of similarities to the 'Chinese' and western worlds Social Credit system
But i hope that i'm wrong, and if not then I hope i'm the first who's making a big deal out of it. :-)

Some info on Social credit
https://steemit.com/social/@bifilarcoil/gamified-control-china-s-social-credid-system-is-going-global

And proof that it's not just a 'China thing'
https://steemit.com/ccc/@bifilarcoil/social-cooling-a-34c3-talk-by-tijmen-schep

China is just a littlebit ahead of the game. The big difference is that China is at least open about it. Where here in the west companies and governments roll it out in secret. And some companies don't even realise that they are using something that works just like it.
