I think bring fun to hive, bring memes here, let ppl have fun could bring ppl log in every day to get a smile.
Thats what i want for hive. PPl have fun and a good time. This strengthens the community in a long run.
Besides harmful content ( scams, illegal shit and so on) we should welcome all ppl that want to be here.
Maybe is a good time to rethink how to handle some things. Maybe new ideas about display content, show trending on frontends ( they need to decide for themselves).
Rethink downvotes on pure "disagreement of content". Make it more a protective sword of protection against scams ( other platforms will die on the AI scam shit in a long run).
Anyway i know I am not liked by a lot of Content police people. But at the end, i am still hanging around here and hope hive becomes something good in the future.
The tool of freedom.
To make my post less gay, here some tits
Memes came here long ago. Everyone that brought them were flagged off the platform because plagiarism.
No fun allowed, unless it profits the oligarchy.
I posted last month seeking comment on how to improve DV management on Hive. I received no comments, not one, providing any possible mechanism to improve the situation, despite my extensive discussion in that post of problems and directions towards solutions potential.
Possibly the gayest tits EVAR!
I approve.
yeah weaponized downvotes are a huge problem. It needs a hardfork to fix the mechanics itself. Is like Religion groups or competitors would downvote each other. Pretty Retarded.
Also a downvote overwrites someones Upvote, rewards doesnt come from nowhere. So someone did value a meme or whatever and somebody else doesn't and overwrites it.
So the one with Hive voted it up is also unhappy. Means less people power up. Like myself. Is retarded to power up and play the game. I would love to support meme and fun, but as soon i power up 100k or 200k, some cartel would downvote the meme and fun ppl.
They destroy the value for themselves. With ppl here not for crypto and money the price more stable. Is also no freedom of speech more like reeducating people on what they can say or not.
Covid, only one Opinion was allowed; others shut down and downvoted. Same on other world events.
Maybe we see 2 cent Hive, this would force to change or go into the abyss.
Millions of hive powered down only because of this behavior. And i not at least one giga whale thinking about leaving ( on auto upvote, doesn't interact). All about politics, Content is not neutral and the unenjoyable spam content is trending. Is worse as AI content.
ah yeah btw, the worst is DAO pays hivewatchers for the bully service. Anti scam protection would be good. But not "community guidelines," that's the gayest shit ever on a decentralized network.
@valued-customer
Spamming someone else's memes for rewards is plagiarism. It makes no difference if it is a meme, photogrpahy or art. The content did not belong to the user.
Also, I did not put this account on the blacklist again 8 days ago. Some others have access to the spaminator blacklist.
I appreciate you reaching out, and the information I was unaware of regarding @urun's account status.
I would like to note that memes have traditionally been uncopyrighted. No one claims them as original works, and sharing them as widely as possible has always been the desired result of making and posting them.
Because of this I do not think it is appropriate to pretend that posting memes is plagiarism, because no one has a claim on authoring a meme. I am pretty sure that if anyone ever tried to make such a claim they'd be roundly excoriated and no one would pay them any further mind whatsoever, nor any meme they produced.
When people do not claim to be the original authors of a work, whether meme or literature, but do attempt to source the material and provide editorial comment, I do not see that in any way to be plagiarism. I make every effort to provide source and to link to it when I post images I have found someone else made. I would like to see HW take a similar tack regarding memes they do pics, such that linking and citing source, and using them to illustrate editorial discussion is not plagiarism.
Would you find that a reasonable policy regarding memes?
Also, in my post seeking comment on improving DV's I would have very much appreciated some input from you. I expect your familiarity with DV's has given you plentiful observation of their shortcomings, and almost certainly to have prompted you to think of better ways to implement them. I doubt anyone could provide better insight into that subject that I was seeking. If you prefer to give it here rather than on my post that would be great. I don't post to make a bunch of money, because I post and read to better my understanding, and I have had my understanding bettered by you before. Do you have any thoughts on that matter?
Hi. Thanks for the comment 🙂 When they use someone else's work, they can simply mention that the content is not theirs. If they don't mention, they automatically claim the authorship of the content and deceive readers into thinking that they the are the authors. If plagiarised content is not tractable to the original is irrelevant. Poetry, articles, memes, tales, photography, art, jokes, etc. Memes are not any sort of exclusive and extraordinary content to get a jail free card. Hivewatchers have been explaining why it's abuse since it was created in 2016. If some content isn't traceable to the original author is irrelevant. It doesn't take any effort to simply mention the source from where the content was copied and pasted from to point out honestly that they aren't the authors. Rewards weren't declined, source of copying was not mentioned/non authorship wasn't mentioned so the content was deception towards readers and abusive activity to gain monetary and/or social reward. Also, even if the source of copypasta was mentioned but there's no significant personal thought added to sourced-shared content, it could be considered as no effort copypasta spam to fish for rewards (unless rewards declined).
I personally often use other's content when create a collage on social media including using memes. If I can't trace original source, I simply write in sourcing "Original Source of meme: unknown". In this way, my readers know that I didn't create it and I'm honest about all content used and clear about what was of my creation in collage.
Because you are the only one on the Internet doing it doesnt mean is good for the other 99%. Check any social media and show me at least 50% of cases ppl share of a meme the source.
Most people on Hive disagree with it. A poll at least, would be good ( so the rules can be voted on).
I promise you "no fun and random rules" will kill this Blockchain. And you take a big part into this.
Rules should be same to other social Media platforms (Otherwise, why use Hive? COme one, give me the sell point of Hive).
If i buy tomorrow for 5 BTC 5 Million hive, i am not allowed to vote for memes? So you are above every stakeholder?
Your rules above anyone on the chain?
You also dont see your power is a attac vector? Everyone can buy for 1 BTC hive now and copy your work ( For a attack, it would be enough to downvote all new users on autopilot).
Or if someone hates Christians or muslims, do the same for them. It shows that the downvote mechanism looks good on paper but is also something that will never let the chain scale.
Just because there's pervading content theft that's allowed to be rampant on social media, doesn't mean that it should be ignored.
short question:
https://peakd.com/@epsteinfiles/posts
Is this original content? Or not? Or is this spam? What if someone would upload a Banger meme archive this way?
Is it because rewards are burn? But that would be still not be original and spam ( or not?).
As far i see, nobody does interact with it, and it's also not really a backup since it's not easily searchable.
Next is what if this kind of content scales? Nobody reads but it backups something.
IDK that is the point. Its copy and paste and nobody will interact with it ( most likely) or read it since the files are on other places already backed up in really good interfaces.
The posts have rewards sent to burn, so there is no reward abuse with copypasta.
alright. So post memes but no rewards is ok.
Idea since you have influence, what if people have a default "fun mode"? Fun mode = no rewards.
And rewards can turned on ( so this gives users more freedom since rewards are this way optional). New users dont know.
And less work for you. maybe something worth a pitch to frontends.
I think that would end every " hivewatchers kills new users" talks.
And maybe display rewards more as a donation ( so new users doesnt feel entitled to it).
One more thing ( no rewards means also no rewards for a lot of hive engine front ends, i know most are bullshit anyway, but something to consider).
For example someone rewards memes with a shitcoin but cant because his shitcoin on HE is also turned off.
I know thats specific and maggi should be better anyway. But worth to think about it.
Like you mentioned. Such features are up to each frontend to implement.
