RE: Is Steemit Changing? And Is It For Better Or Worse?
If we grow we will see changes. Some of the attitudes of nastiness, in my opinion, people tend to be a mix of people being a bit sensitive. Much of politeness is a "cultural issue". This is an International site. So, what I "think" I see is different ways of expressing themselves. Some people aren't used to it.
On a happy note, I don't think many people will pay people to be rude, so it is likely to help keep the nastiness out.
Great post with interesting ideas to consider.
True, there are people who take political correctness to an extreme and take offense where clearly none is intended. Luckily there isn't as much of that here as on other platforms but we do have to acknowledge that it exists. And I understand that with all the writing styles and personalities, there will be miscommunications and misunderstandings. But here I'm really just referring to the obvious posts that seek to hurt or offend others.
Thank for the comment!
I am not being argumentative. My immediate thought was.. How can a post hurt me? Then I thought of an old idea I was taught that isn't taught anymore.
Here is the updated version: Sticks and Stones will break my bones, but posts will never hurt me.
I agree there is no need to be nasty, I love to exchange ideas though, so I am willing to listen to people usually.... ;) I have a snarky moment or two myself from time to time.
Lol sometimes the snarky remarks are necessary! xD
I didn't think you were being argumentative, you made a great point. It's also true, you shouldn't let name calling, teasing, or general rudeness ruin your whole day, but at the same time, I know I don't wanna see an increase in racism, sexism, etc on steemit!
