"Whatever positive happens on Steemit, downvoting will always be an ugly blemish on all of it." Well said @jbgarrison72!

"Then downvote him. He actually downvotes abusers right? With his own stake? You can’t upvote or downvote anything more than your own stake..." Why would my opinion be so important as to invalidate

Sorry, I got to this late. But I do agree with you when it comes to self-voting. Yet, it also pertains to all of the voting.

"i hope that soon we will bulldoze the UN off of american soil." I agree, they need to bulldoze that shit Rachel Corrie style, cept w/o people in it. Gahh, that sounded awful, but you know; They

LOL, why would he do that? I'm Pretty sure Aggroed isn't one of those weirdo Opus Dei freaks. Anyone who downvotes themselves is special upstairs... and not in a good way.

God damn, get well you!

I'm skeptical about this one. HRC calls her a Russian asset for god knows what reason. Probably to splinter some of Trump's support. Then Gabbard goes back at Clinton extra hard as if she's forgotten all

"If you don’t like downvotes then don’t use them..." I agree. Hmm... I think the character you are talking about has about 100+ damaged "posts" after the implementation of #newsteem.

"On the other hand, downvotes are gamified actions with negative feedback loops, resulting in possible higher toxic behaviour than on any other social media.The only example that I know of, where

Yeah, all this blockchain think put me into a meta-ethics jag the other day. Well, it was just one video that aptly summarized many of the branches and categories. I found it interesting to realize there

Sure, it's tough to say, the whitepaper is very wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey, stuff. Written intentionally abstract and open to subjective interpretation. It's no wonder why people cannot agree on what is
