Steempeak has far surpassed the Steemit level in my eyes. One of the tough parts about the witness votes is I recently got a message to remove a vote I cast for mark, if I didn’t I would be downvoted. Threats like that are tough to deal with at the lower SP’s so I removed it so I wouldn’t be a target. There are battles internally that keep happening that should stop so we can focus on making sure the Sun stake doesn’t screw us.
That person is targeting so many others that you should not fear. He'll run out of downvoting power real quick if he tries to downvote everyone.
Ya, I didn’t have any special connection to mark, it just was an old vote. I just adjusted my votes to add most of the top 20 so I can do my part to ensure the chain doesn’t get hijacked by the stake like Sun just did on Tron.
I didn’t have a connection to mark so I’m not too set on having him as one of my votes. It is annoying that people try to intimidate others like that though.
I'm not saying you have to vote for him.. I'm just saying don't let anyone intimidate you into voting or not voting for whomever you want
These threats are designed to spread cohesion. An account that threatens this may reduce "only" articles. He will not reach your personal SP and STEEM.
Spreads tension instead of cohesion for sure. I’m not into arguing and fighting with people on here so I said screw it, it’s not worth the hassle to me and removed it. Unfortunate that people are jerks like that tho.
If this community tolerated abuse of our members like that we need to be sold down the river.
An attack on one is an attack on all.
