When a friend on Reddit told me about steemit, I was a bit wondering.
Since I work into IT, the concept was clear, so I don't wonder because a blockchain is used to deliver kinda forum. I love the idea: I was a BBS geek in the early '90, then a Usenet/IRC guy, then... then Facebook, Twitter and others killed the magic.
And I realized that the issue is not WHO controls news, the problem is that, control itself is bad. I am not a big fan of trolls (If I was, I had 4/8/whateverchan already) so Is not I am into a free-speech fundamentalism. In the other side, I keep asking myself, what happens if twitter decides I must disappear?
So now I am here and I love it. I've read some FAQ, and I only have some questions, like....
- Is there a way to block a user? (this would solve the issue of trolls/stalking/harrassment)
- Is there a way to create "private" spaces, or in general to restrict the audience?
if only both of answers were like "yes" , well... here is my Internet again. :) :)
