I've been using Dlike a lot to share some news here on my Steemit blog, through the SPORTS and others tribes platforms in Steem Engine. I see Dlike as a great tool for sharing news transparently and directly. In it we can also weave our comments on the news and bring our followers to the discussion.
What Dlike does is similar to what we see on Facebook when we want to share with our friends some news that interests us.
But as always, here at Steemit everything is cause for conflict. Here we deal with a combination of forces that can be destructive in any society: Power and Influence. When we give these two things to a human being or when a society is based on these two forces, chaos, fights will be frequent, and now, what I see lately here at Steemit is yet another example of how these forces act against Dlike users.
I see reports of users having their content shared through Dlike being flagged. It is true that many uses this tool mistakenly , in breach of the application guidelines, but the fact that a user shares some news, giving it their reference source, can in no way be considered as plagiarism or spam.
Steemit, whether some people may like it or not, is a social network and Dlike is playing its part in fulfilling this social function of Steemit. I believe that Dlike should rather tighten its rules and be more vigilant about the content posted by its users.
I believe that in Steem we have other priorities and those that have a lot of influence and power in Steem should concentrate their forces in order to fix many other problems that plague our platform. For example: The price of Steem.
Steem is "dying" in the market, the price of our coin is no more than $0.20. Why not join forces making Steem price stable in the market? Steem at a stable price will cheer up our community, bring more investment, and we would all win.
Think about it, and please my friends:
Let's stop meaningless pursuits that do not contribute to the good coexistence and harmony in this ecosystem!
What the problem with Dlike?
