RE: Support Fyrstikken in his fight against abuse of power
you say that like @berniesanders was the only whale to do such a thing. The analytics show otherwise. All whales played a part, in incredibly different ways in attracting and chasing people off.
Imagine getting 40 1% votes and your post doesn't clear $1 and then Bernie shows up and his single vote brings that same post to over 10 or 20 bucks.
Just saying.
I like both these guys and in other ways I dont like em. Tough call. Cause both have done great things for me and both have done harmful things. Some by design, some by default.
is this the whale war of whale wars. the whale war to end all whale wars?
@solarguy, you seem to have a pretty level-headed take on this; it appears to me that there has been an on-going war of words and opinions between various whales, including Steemit Inc.. Unfortunately, this spat has spilled over into the broader community. It will continue to do so until the stake weight issue is addressed. Everyone seems to think it will go away if it is ignored. It will not.
I do not really know the ins and outs of it. I do not particularly like 1% voting, especially when minnows see it as the way to go! You would not treat a beggar in the street so poorly so why a fellow steemian?
I receive very few votes from whales because I have a certain amount of understanding of the game.
Solutions are what matter - this requires whales to develop their ears.
Namaste.
Berniesanders actions benefit a few. His selected favorites. Whoever he doesn't like, he ruthlessly pursues with his downvotes. Good if you are in his group, but sucks when you are outside it. Berniesanders serves himself and others only if it pleases him to do so.
Fyrstikken's actions benefit large numbers of people. A graciousness towards all people. Fyrstikken serves many people through his own personal sacrifice, seeking to benefit from the everyone's good fortune in the future. It is good leadership and good community building.
I'm not sure where your confusion lies. It is a clear choice for me.
well you got htooms?smooth downvoted :D It seems bernie is on you rather than the viking :| sad days. It's the second time I'm seeing the vendetta since matrixdweller and skeptic got wrecked :|
He has attempted the same with Fyrstikken, but it has proven more difficult to keep Fyrstikken down. For myself it is simply a wish to stand and say what needs to be said in the face of a malevolent actor. That is an essential principle of maintaining a free flow of information.
well at least I can bring the votes to zero :D if I can't balance the power I can add more to one side :) Good luck, it's going to be interesting, has it been finished, or is the flagging still going
I don't know at this moment as I read this. I've been working. I'll post this comment and we will find out soon enough.
Last night Bernie mentioned in price chat that he has a bot set up to automatically downvote my comments. I would assume it is still running.
I'm going to journal how many days it goes on for. I'll keep you updated.
the experiment 2.0 :D a more focused approach, testing the limits of seablue :| sorry I'm taking this as a joke, bernie is like that, I'm wondering if he will post a meme some time soon :D he's a meme whale after all (mean) :D
seems like you have the support and it all evens out, but the non stop flag war every 2 weeks is annoying at best :)
I vote for this, i don't think it should be shaded out.
There is no single action by anyone anywhere for any reason that will appease all people. Making one happy will certainly make some others unhappy.
I just go case by case.
I'm glad you visited this thread to witness what is going on.
