RE: Patreon Joins the “Deplatforming” Mob and Bans... as it Tries to Make Sound Justified
Great post. We have a huge opportunity lying here. I hope the deplatforming and then leaving of other users in 'protest' does become a trend, it would accelerate the move to alternative decentralized platforms for sure. We should get a dedicated 'deplatforming' team on twitter that is only reaching out to these people and point them to Steem (and where they can get their accounts approved fast.)
I’m happy people are finally starting to understand decentralization. Decentralization isn’t just about servers across different hosting companies.
It’s about the community makes it all happen and nobody can pull the switch over night or change the rules of the game.
Thanks, Steemit Inc for admitting failure!
We need 2 SWAT teams:
The community will do what it does. It supports itself, that’s normal. With all inflation it isn’t a model to invest in though. That would be philanthropic.
But with more apps... we are actually using the infrastructure and the “bandwidth” (whichever model) may, just like spam fighting back in the day, become a viable model to build businesses on. Businesses like... nodes. Like IPFS for Steem apps.
Queue more creators with profile - not talking about the latest YT sensation, no, people with some years of mileage... and we’ll get there.
It would avoid train wrecks like... this one. Situations where you get attention from some of the historically most important people in Web2.0/User Generated Content and “the One” is the weakest link.
Jack is actually still a good defender of free speech. His account review crews aren’t necessarily the best one - don’t I know it as linked in the post lol. Just remember how long he held on to Alex Jones. Twitter’s quarterly filings would be a lot better if they had bent over more to fiduciary duties.

PS: I mentioned Steem as a Patreon alternative almost a year ago already.
Those are two great focus points. I don't know why Hackatons are not a thing on Steem, they seem to be on other platforms...
Getting a few content creators here could be a combined effort where we challenge each Steemian to join a 'get someone famous on Steem' week/challenge and everyone picks one person they'd like to bring over and tries to do exactly that.
Steemians like challenges, maybe we're adrenaline junkies ;-)
Thanks for your elaborate reply!
Maybe the [pardon me] average quality and knowledge is not yet past MySpace 2005. By which I mean hasn’t yet reached 2007 when blogging turned ever more professional.
If people could put ribbons on their profiles, you would want a browser extension to hide them.
But progress is happening, there’s many less footer banners nowadays.
We may get there.
“Social celebrities” is difficult. People become skeptical when they read “get paid”. So we really need to work them over weeks, and also with the quality.
Remember when Medium launched? Everyone initially let in was known in social circles or had several thousands of followers on twitter already. You arrived on Medium and you found awesome content upon arrival. Not an evil marketing banner with trending foods.
@steeveapp may have the key to help. But its beauty is hidden behind a login.
Not just on twitter of course, since twitter will soon be empty thanks to their deplatforming :')
