RE: Do you want to see Hive survive and thrive?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
@baah is quite abusive. I consider that a plus. However, he has been putting out well sourced informative posts for a long time, and any guff he flings is a test of the skin, not a reason for flags. He may post a lot of comments but he's not spamming some commercial opportunity, he's just overflowing with passion.
Reposting original content isn't a scam. It's regreening content past the 7 day window, and I reckon that's fine. It's certainly not a reason to drive yet another valuable creator off the platform, which is what is being attempted.
Cashing out some tokens and saying mean words to people isn't scamming, spamming, or plagiarism. It should never have drawn flags.
I agree about @skeptic, and still miss him.
The problem with flags is that they're too easy to fly, and that has lead to their abuse, rampant abuse. You're wrong to say that these are problems in the past. They're ongoing presently, except for @skeptic. The social interactions on this platform are what makes or breaks it. Lot's of social media platforms exist without tokens, and outperform Hive. The token is just a bonus, or should be. However, by downvoting censorship is ridiculously facilitated, and that makes the token a terrible burden on Hive. Frankly, I believe we'd be better off without a token at all.
If Hive is going to succeed, it is because the social media platform succeeds, and getting rid of Hive tokens altogether will eliminate the censorship problem Hive has. I'd allow we could still have tokens and potential to succeed if downvotes no longer were potential for other reasons than spam, scams, and plagiarism. Tokenomics are almost irrelevant otherwise.
All the flag wars and drama we have seen have been the anchor around our necks. It's been fun, but expensive. I always appreciate talking with my betters, so always enjoy talking to you.
Well, when you are right and people won't listen, one tends to get frustrated.
I don't blame him, I've read some of what he's said, and what's been said to him.
He is passionate in a way that is easy to take the wrong way.
Especially, when one is somewhat narrow minded.
So, get hw's scope amended.
Not reposting content has been a rule since before I got here.
P5b got here before I did, he knows the rules, and rolled the dice.
He is not alone in that.
He simply got caught.
I think he should apologize and move on, he has clearly had much clear conduct since this minor infraction occurred.
I also think the day of the content nazi is at an end.
People that come here and prove themselves 'real', as defined by not spamming, scamming, or plagiarizing have some deference coming when they color outside the lines, imo.
Nuking somebody that only needs correcting is overkill.
Which, honestly, is the current case.
The days of the bernster, et al, have been long gone.
The 'abused author' is a literal unicorn today.
I've been watching for them for years now.
If you follow along on https://hivetasks.com/@freebornsociety you will see what is getting upvotes and flags from most of the curators in the hive.
I can't follow all the upvoters, so I rotate, but I have the downvoters covered pretty well.
Just look at the flags and see if what you say applies to them.
If it does, ping me and I will look at it.
Then we can attempt to right any wrongs.
Collectively.
Perspective is important.
There is good and bad in us all.
We agree on this. Your ceaseless work to monitor this space is vastly underappreciated, certainly underfunded.
