A BIG SHOUT OUT TO @MEGADRIVE!

in blurt •  3 years ago 

I don’t see it like that at all. Blurt already is a platform that has changed certain features since it’s brginning. Even in the beginning it mirrored the site but took away the downvote... essentially changing the platform to work more in alignment with what users wanted... no downvote button. If the majority of users also wanted no stake to be delegated to people with more stake that would essentially be the same.. tweaking the site to adapt to user preference. I’m not even saying what I would prefer but that I don’t believe the rules on a site make something discriminatory as long as they are applied across the board to everyone. I mean blurt alrwady has rules. It says one can’t plagerise etc. People know if they use blurt that’s a site rule, it doesn’t just discriminate individual people for their actions.

This decision was made before there were users, and it was done out of respect for property rights.

I know this much. If there comes a time where Blurt begins restricting or disrespecting property rights, I'll be leaving. That was the draw that made me decide to do this one more time. If that draw disappears, I will as well just as I did at Steem and Hive. I left Hive believing I was done with all of this, and was waiting with all of my Hive powered down in case the market went back up when I found out about Blurt. It took me much research to understand I would give this one more try.

You mention plagiarism, and that is different. That is a crime in most countries due to it not respecting property rights. I don't advocate for property rights theft, and it's perfectly understandable that in order to shield themselves from being participants in a crime the front ends disallow the action on their sites.
