Hello fellow Utopian peep,
Things have been going. We took a bit of a morale hit when utopian went on hiatus (starting to think that was a euphemism for quitting altogether but could be wrong) as the anti-abuse project had done much to give our flaggy bunch hope to be able to be able to better thwart exploitation on our platform.
Things are starting to pick up thankfully. I'm sure you've missed a ton of drama but don't fret. I'm sure there will be plenty more. Oh yeah we almost started a peasant uprising / flag war against the potato so that was interesting.
Anyways, you hear anything from @elear? Is Utopian ever planning a glorious return to Steem ushering in a new golden age of open source empowerment? Would be nice but not holding my breath exactly.
Good seeing you're back. If you want an easy way to leverage your free downvotes for a return and help keep Steem clean, consider joining us at @steemflagrewards.
Let me know if you want me to link you. Take care
@elear vanished. I wasted two years of my life believing him. Learned my lesson well. Utopian is gone, as far as I know.
Not really back in terms of active in the community... How can I delegate my downvoting power to you or something?
Yep, Utopian is gone, the idea remains. I had the notion to bring it back with a different twist, but when I thought about the mass amount of time I would most likely need to input to that project I quickly took a step back and closed the book again :)
take care all of you
Yeah, I feel you. Startups are exhausting. I think it's an Israeli thing - you find yourself in a startup at one point or another. But with my disabilities? I rather be a freelancer for startups. Which I am.
Delegating to @steemflagrewards is how to reward flaggers
To be one of those flaggers, there are a couple options depending on whether you want it to be automated or manual.
Join the @flagtrail and set the options /limits to what works for you. (e.g. SP limit of account to flag, VP limits etc) Uses posting auth and currently requires Discord for authentication but hoping we can switch to SC2 or other implementation.
Manually flag exploitative content that meets our consensus criteria (spam, vote farming, plagiarism etc). Mention @steemflagrewards citing the criteria and mods will review / approve once the webhook catches it.
Downvote content that you believe needs additional negative curation that has already been flagged + mentioned by another user. If one user already commented, no need to add another comment for approval. Our bot will pick it up.
The following post pretty much lays everything out with the links to the trail and our discord. Let me know if you have any issues and we'll do our best to figure it out.

Can't I just set steemauto to trail the downvotes of the account? Screw rewards, I just want to help.
Back in the day, I was asking @mahdiyari about adding dvote trailing but not sure if he ever got around to it. @howo's downvote control may be a good option but haven't tried it personally.
Appreciate the willingness to help. You motivate me! 💪
