RE: The Daily Meme #695!
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
my vote on it would be taken as agreement in its external effect.
Yes, that is the common misperception.
'Reposting/upvoting does not imply endorsement.'
Not everybody can separate their emotions from their viewpoints.
I don't agree with what some certain authors do and say, but I support their doing it and saying it.
Each of us has to draw that line for ourselves.
While this can be and will be misperceived you cannot avoid it to happen.
I reposted and upvoted contents I do not agree with overall, even not for their most parts but for a small part of what was given as information, for example. True. It could be interpreted as support, that's right.
But conversely, you wouldn't say that you tend to support such authors or content that doesn't correspond to your views more in comparison with those you agree with, would you? You tend to support what you yourself think is more correct. It would be completely crazy to do it the other way round, wouldn't it?
Would you actively support certain authors on a regular and obvious basis with whom you don't agree with?
You certainly wouldn't want to support behaviors that harm others, but the hive is all words.
But, you are largely correct, there has been speech in the hive that I absolutely wouldn't support, mostly lies and malicious speculations.
I can point to accounts I would vote more regular if their flaggots didn't come by and kype my curation rewards for the trending page.
