Photo below is an fb post of a friend of mine, who was been restricted as it goes against the Facebook Community Standards. This actually speaks about the beauty of decentralization in the web3 social media like BLURT where users have full ownership and full freedom away from censorship of their own standards.
Ever since the world began, humans are guided always with laws and rules anywhere in this world to put things in proper place, for peace and order and for the good of many. Same goes true with other aspects of our lives and even in most of centralized social media. Unfortunately most users only knew the existing web2 social media like Instagram, twitter, Tiktok, Facebook and many others where such platforms were all centralized and prone to censorship according to their Set of Standards.
Unlike web2 social media platform, the web3 or what we called blockchain based social media platform has more freedom since users have the true ownership of its account and no one can ban you from using your account that is why some known blockchain based socail media like Steemit and Hive have their downvote system in order to prevent abuses.
The fundamental issue that the free speech debate tends to obscure is quite simple: every platform needs some form of moderation.
While this might seem controversial, on closer inspection, it’s inarguable. Even free speech maximalists will agree that no “digital town square” could survive an endless onslaught of spam. And once it’s been decided that some content should be disallowed, the choice between free speech or moderation is no longer binary. Instead, it’s about where and how you draw the line. And this, of course, is where things get complicated. Source.
This i guess is one of the advantage of BLURT amongst other existing web3 social media like Steemit or Hive where downvote system is not well appreciated by many users.
At first, i was not happy at all when i started posting here on blurt when i realized that there is a fee for everything you do on your blurt account. But now i greatly understand one of the very purpose of it is to prevent spamming and post farming. I guess it is a very genius idea instead of spreading hate speech and downvote war.
