Today I encountered a new way the big witnesses and developers of Steemit have found to silence opposing non-mainstream voices:
I wanted to reply to @cryptogee
in this post of mine:
and then this happened:
So I had to wait for my "Resource Credits" to refill before I was able to reply.
Meaning I have to SHUT UP or POWER UP or BUY more Steem if I don't want @cryptogee give the impression I am ignoring him/her.
Meanwhile as was to be foreseen and expected, a witness came by and flagged the post, making also the image with Dan Larimer's thoughts about the current state of Steemit, invisible:
It is clear that under the guidance of @timcliff and co the Big Ones of Steemit have found a very sneaky way to oppress opposing non-mainstream views on this platform.
They can say "But this is not censorship" - "You can click on a button to make a post visible"
Well they can effectively make you SHUT UP or PAY
Twitter and Facebook may try to censor and ban opposing non-mainstream opinions, but at least they are free.
After many hours I still could not post anything, went to steemd and it says this:
So i will power up a little of my Steem so that my "RC" allows me to react to people like @apogee.
