RE: Changes in my life, on and off the chain (+ 1k SP Delegation Contest)
On Yom HaShoah I think it is important to distinguish between how blatant anti-semites run wild on many online forums but are flagged into insignificance on Steem.
This self regulation works without the expensive and biased censorship of "trust and safety" people on major forums like Facebook.
People behave better when bad behaviour will cost them money.
How is Yom HaShoah relevant?
If one of the whales (say, bernie) started posting antisemitic content, it would not be flagged into insignificance. If someone invests a pile of money in enough SP to promote that type of content, it will be. Money rules, as you've said. Respect is bought, free speech is purchased.
But a whale who did this would be destroying the value of the Steem platform and thus damaging their investment.
That's why whales don't post blatantly anti-semitic content.
On Yom HaShoah, in a world or rising anti-semitism, we need to choose between the centralised censorship approach of Facebook or the self-regulatory approach of Steem. I choose the later.
