RE: Opinions Are Like Bottoms, Everybody Has One and on a Public Platform They're Going to Share!

in #philosophy7 years ago

This'll be the only social media site I'll let my kids use when they're 13-17; because everything is public and I can flag bullies. (I can also monitor their posts and comments in case they're the one doing the bullying)
I'm starting to wonder, though if the relative lack of comments on Steem posts are a result of the environment.
We say we want a kind, supportive culture; but what if we really love the conflict and drama of a flame war on a facebook post?

Sort:  

Conflict, drama and gossip are most people's entertainment, so I think many people do enjoy it! However, I don't think those sorts are as attracted to sites like Steemit. It's not a simplistic site and takes a but more nous to work things out on here. Or am I just sounding pretentious now? Lol!

Does it still qualify as 'Pretentiousness' if you're genuinely better than everyone else? Like we are?

🤣😂

Some posts invite argument (direct invite or just a persons controversial view) - freedom of speech I think is sooo important and we shouldn't take it personally if people disagree...like you have written as long as we are civil about it, everyone deserves and can have a say.

Your subject specialty is really interesting and I think everyone could learn at least something, I know I have :)

Aww shucks! Thank you. I never really thought of it as a speciality.
