It's not my friend.
Think about this...
We live in a world where it's increasingly getting harder for people. Not just financially but peoples stress levels and health are directly being effected.
Having a healthy social environment goes a long way's to making what's wrong with the world right.
And it's within our power to do that... while at the same time innovating new and better way's to human and communicate value.
None of this happens with a downvote.
So we have to take a mature look at the way we use it.
With this sort of thing... and because Hive also has a financial aspect to it every comment/post counts... You could even say it counts more because it's super charged. It's not only the content or communication people care about... It also have real world value (even if the price of Hive is dwindling at the moment.
Think of it like this...
The Hive Token is a means for storing the Social Capital we put into it collectively as a community.
So unfriendly behavior only hurts the price of Hive... and it might be a lot more direct than many realize!
I want to win.
I want you to win.
And we can't do this by downvoting for the sake of downvoting.
That's like trying to drive a vehicle with one foot on the gas and the other on the break...
And we all know how that's going to turn out!
A burnout.
And burnouts are bad for all involved.
Another consideration...think about the people from struggling country's. Those people feel ever bump in the road you had better believe it!
K. I hope you understand where I'm coming from with this.
All the best!
What do you think of Blurt? no downvotes there. If you're so intolerant about the downvotes, wouldn't it be more practical to build your vision off that chain? it's a fork of the old blockchain anyway.
I'm here and have been here quite some time. I'm an Hive owner for my own reasons. I have no reason to move or build else where.
Are you suggesting that I leave Hive? Because that's not going to happen.
I have earned my stripes here in more ways than one...
I'm building here on Hive... and so are many other people.
This is another reason why, as owners, we must continue to stand for what is best for the health and wellness of this blockchain.
I'm only getting warmedUP... and I'm a Hive maximalist for a definite reason.
I'm not intolerant to downvotes... so long as they are used for reasons that move us all forward and secure the integrity of the blockchain with well laid out reasons in place that make sense.
None of the reasons you decided to downvote here fall within reason and are outside the parameters of code.
It's very clear.
Your stripes are skid marks if you managed to get blacklisted. With all the shady shit that is allowed I don't see why you've chosen to go out over 6th day self voting.
It's probably because you're a self-important douche but hey what would I know. I only chase down scammers and plagiarists and people who abuse Hive to rape the reward pool.
Think what you may... I don’t think this approach will get you far.
Question though... was there any spam, plagiarism, involved here? No there wasn’t!
This is like saying, that nothing should be created or curated on the 6th day... as if this is some sort of religion or something! 😂
This is the equivalent of reciting the creation story (which I don’t believe but think is interesting) but skipping over the 6th day where god created the animals... and yeah! Us humans... just thought it might make people chuckle at how ridiculous this whole idea of flagging people for voting on things they like on the 6th day.
Yeah... this isn’t good for Hive. What is good for Hive has already been programmed into the blockchains functionality.
Do we still need to continue innovating and evolving how we human? Yes. There’s still so much more that we can and should be doing. Focusing on making this place better constructively with actual code implementation is the way forward.
Not all of this...
I trust Marky’s assessment.
He has a reason to do as he does and from what I’ve seen he protects hive and gets nothing but hate for it.
So in this case... what’s Hive being protected from? I’m just curious...
That’s a lie. You downvoted me and Ive done none of these things.
You are a important voice. I wish we crossed paths sooner. Keep me posted if you hear anything. I still can’t get a hold reply just explaining things from Mark or whoever. But regardless of that let’s stay in touch. Just a feeling but I think you met do great things in the space. Man it’s just crazy how I never saw this bullying can’t even get reason side of hive. The most sad thing is how sarcastic and mean the people mark hwe on his train or trail thing. I can’t lie I’m shocked how evil they are.
Absolutely my friend. I’ll see this through to the end. That’s what friends do. I’m glad to have met you as well!
Honestly! Hope you start feeling better soon!
Let me know if anything comes of this or if you just want to talk/vent even. I went through something similar to this during my once a year family vacation. It wasn’t fun to deal with these sorts of people and the level of thinking is also very disturbing...
But stay the course! Stick with me on Hive! We need things like this to bring the good people together around what’s good about our blockchain!
Im here to support you in what small ways I can until the ship rights it’s self once again... and I know it will!
There’s plenty of really wonderful people here on Hive who know exactly why they invested their time and capital into Hive.
Social Capital! 🙌
@wil.metcalfe
Sorry for the typos bud. Just fighting off a fever and outta it. But I think it’s clear who the bad guys are here.
Anyway @wil.metcalfe I still can’t believe how angry and just evil these people are. Still myself have no clue or reason why I’m on some list. It’s kinda like these people just like mocking snd bullying. Again I ask what did I do?
But it’s been a pleasure meeting ya @wil.metcalfe👍
