The one and only reason to use my downvote/flagging since joining Steemit in March!
I like to think of myself as a pacifist, and i try as much as possible to pursue peace before unleashing my demons- Yes! I am once a very aggressive stout personality and i do not forgive easily, so when i see some unspeakable injustice; i go nuts!
Since March, i have no real cause to downvote nor flag, i see spammers as jobless individuals so i pay no attention to them. But yesterday, i got to know about a newbie who stopped posting because she was flagged for using the Muslim Hijab!
The Stupidest thing @doodlebear did
The screenshot is the evidence of what a user @doddlebear did to a newbie, just because he doesn't like a dress code. Having a meeting with the @steem-lagos members @lucashunter and @cwen yesterday, we were looking at ways to keep people active on Steemit and not leave. Then a name came up, @muslimahblogger; a Nigerian newbie who was flagged by the accused mentioned above in her post:
My look for today. Rate me friends
She was downvoted by Mr.Doodlebear for no reasonable cause! Mr. Doodle apparently have no clue what abuse means and the insult on a community. You all will be shocked that Mr.Doodle is still a newbie too and imagine what this Happy Finger Flagger could do once he becomes a Dolphin or Whale!
@muslimahblogger is a newbie and she is one of the victims that was scared away by some myopic thinking individuals who takes Steemit as their Mama's Kitchen Table. If we can't retain our newbies based on some stupidity going on in the community, then how are we going to grow?
If this abuse of power means something to you, i urge you to give @doodlebear a piece of his idiotic pie to swallow!
FOLLOW-UPVOTE-RESTEEM AND MAYBE DROP A SUPPORTING OR CONTRARY COMMENT.....It's your friendly Neighbor @oluwoleolaide for Steem-Lagos-Nigeria-Africa-World!
