I don't have a problem with being judged, I just don't like how people sometimes cause problems and look for arguments with those they disagree with. For me it's more about being friends with activists because activism that has the potential to influence others is often lumped together with terrorism to the powers that be.

But I like what @francesleader said about "showing that you have nothing to hide".

As for bookmarking, all you can do now is bookmark externally or resteem and hope it'll be easier to find in your own junk. I'd be nice if we could make "playlists" of steems that fit into a certain category, a way to organize stuff.
