Now I see how you related it.

But the post didn't state that. I'm for more transparency regardless. If rigged Steemit has transparent voting, surely we can too.

And if folks are worried about transparency, privacy, etc. What about the fact that this whole site is open to potentially be web-scraped. magnora7 and d3rr could make it even easier and make RSS feeds for the "All New Posts" and "All New Comments" - as I suggested ( /s/SaidIt/comments/bon/rss_for_saidit_a_good_idea/ ) but no one commented on. And if that's problematic then what about embracing decentralization protocols and platforms?

Spamming and infiltration are different issues, that may be peripherally related but should be addressed separately IMHO.

Also, MartinTimothy is not the only dual identity here. /u/Froglich and /u/Vigte7 are spoof aliases. And those are just ones I know of. FYI, I have ONLY one user account or else I'd be making way more subs that the measly 1/week.

sure, its all fun and games until the anonymity is maintained, b/c "there is no true free speech without true anonymity. " but doxing can be bad for you. we all have different levels of vulnerability.

"until"? I think you mean "as long as"

How are they going to doxx you from your votes?

yep

How are they going to doxx you from your votes?

its information. big data + ai is a deadly combination. they do kill people with drones based on nothing else but metadata. voting records are metadata.

"They" also advertise at you based on data. It's long way from being a target of Amazon to a target of a missile.

If transparent votes on this site are that problematic then we've got bigger problems and we should all delete our accounts at once to survive.

I'd rather fight back than delete my account and I'd rather be radically courageous and dangerously bold and dare to make our voting transparent in the face of evil speaking my truth to power. (Hyperbolic much?) Rise up fellow netizens and embrace our fate to live free or die trying!!!

Don't you dare hold my horses!

This way men! Over the cliff...
