I have been thinking about this situation as many others have experienced it too. Creating your own community I think is the answer. When you create a Hive Community, you can decide who can post to it. Also, if you mute someone in your community, their comments are by default collapsed. I just tested this out, and the posts from muted accounts don't show up in the Community. As far as downvotes, I am not sure how this works, but since you already have an existing fan base, I highly recommend that you create your own Hive community, with you as the owner. In this way you will have more control over who you want to join it. Communities exist to solve these sorts of problems, and as we know, not everyone is going to get along, anywhere. People can definitely have more control over your experience this way.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Yes communities is probably the best option for control. There is no way to block downvotes, the chain would need to be fundamentally redesigned because spam farmers, plagiarists, etc would just block everyone from downvoting them and that is the antithesis of the whole proof of brain concept. It relies on the public aspect of all stakeholders having a decision in rewards
Yeah I think the only way is to over time encourage more good actors join the platform to positively upvote to reduce the power of of malicious downvoters.
I wouldn't advocate for removing anyone's stake or downvoting abilities.
Now this is the type of steem/hive interaction which drew me to these chains, and has kept me here for years.
proof is in the pudding and i'm late to the dinner table though. Someone ate all my pudding while waiting for me to arrive.
