I don't know if it is censorship or customization. Is a group or community supposed to be the same as a public town square where nothing should ever be censored, hidden, blocked, deleted, removed, invisible, shadow banned, etc, etc, or should a Steem community be more like a private house where you bring in your friends for a meeting? So, should a group admin be like the house owner with the ability to rule the house and to kick out people or hide things in order to govern the conversation and everything within the given house? If the house is supposed to be public property, then no. If the house is supposed to be the private property of the admin, then maybe yes.
Beats the hell out of me... I can't even figure out how to use the thing since they made the "improvements." I have to write everything on Palnet now
You can still view all muted posts. Anyone can create community and moderate it how he/she wants.
Can a community creator make some steem when others post in the community that a person creates?
He can if the post creator makes him beneficiary. But it's not done automatically (yet?).
I don't understand how all this works- I'm an old man- but it sure doesn't look like much of an improvement to me. Markdown doesn't go to Raw HTML anymore so I can't change to italic or bold. Can't use the quote option or headers. The search option doesn't work anymore, I can't even look up my old posts. All I can say is this sucks!!!
The ability to moderate sounds like a good idea in theory to the extent that a group or community might be the private property of a given admin. That is assuming a Steem community were to be private property and not public property or some kind of hybrid. So, it is a debate between censorship and customization. Some people might say it is censorship. And some people might say it is customization. I see both sides of the debate. I like customization to the extent that it your thing you are customizing. A big problem can be found to the extent that a thing might be public and not private.
