RE: Is shadow banning a thing on steemit?
Riddle me this: how do you "shadowban" on an open source frontend?
The premise that steemit does not care about free speech as they are head developer of the most popular censorship resistant social media and maintain an open source repository of the running front end is preposterous to say the least. It's mild though compared to the other stories people maintain on here like Censorship, but it's the same class of unsubstantiated, unfounded accusations that implicate an effort to bamboozle people by the largest stakeholders.
I think @freebornangel is referring to how some accounts (@thedarkoverlord is the only one I know offhand but there are more) are not shown on Steemit for whatever reason they fancy.
I'm no expert on "shadowbanning" though. I heard the term here for the first time.
Shadow banning is when you don't know that you are censored / banned since to you it appears that everything is as it should be, but to everyone else you're effectively removed.
It's not "for whatever reason they fancy" either but a matter not enabling extortion, a matter of ethics.
They fancy not enabling extortion. Any ethic is little more than what the expositor wants or wants to see in the world.
It seems I may have been wrong about his reference, in light of this definition.
wow I can find that account with Steemworld but nowhere else.
Ha thats what we need to have done with the big bad wolf then lol
With your node.
None of the tribes are having any problem doing it.
Clearly, stinc has supported favorable speech, and not speech they didn't like.
That isn't an easy thing to avoid.
How many mutes do you have?
Nobody likes hearing things that don't conform to their confirmation biases.
@curie, and others, told me that my speech would never find favor here.
That hasn't proven 100% true, but without tsu's support I would be much less visible.
So this is the "gathering evidence" stage of your investigation, because if you plan on submitting this nonsense as evidence I'll tell you right now that you ain't got shit and save us all the hassle of polluting the chain with another "steemit" conspiracy thread nil evidence.
How much evidence do I need outside my own personal experience that the link won't load for me?
Do you presume that somebody competent enough to break the link would be incompetent at deflecting attention from having done so?
Evidence? You're already convinced that someone is out to get ya, and so it doesn't matter what I presume but what you do. You call a broken page evidence of what exactly?
The link not loading.
It's the content not loading that raises my hackles.
Yeah and you tried to dwindle down the probable cause before you went about putting Scooby-Doo narratives together?
It is no big reveal that stinc is shady.
Yeah, repeat the same bullshit enough that it stops being bullshit.
