HIDDEN TRUTH ABOUT ∴ FREE BLURT CRYPTO GIVE-AWAY
I'll keep this very simple.
What is BLURT ?
BLURT is a blogging platform and a clone of HIVE.
BLURT is very user-focused with a community ready to welcome new users.
There are NO DOWNVOTES on BLURT.
If you have been on HIVE for a while or if you were on STEEM before - you probably already have a BLURT account (you can use your same exact hive or steem keys to logon to blurt.blog).
To check and see if you already have a BLURT account, just replace the "logiczombie" in the following link with your own HIVE username - https://blurt.blog/@logiczombie - if your account shows up then you already have BLURT crypto !!!!
If your HIVE account does not show up on BLURT - don't panic - leave a comment on this post and join the BLURT official discord channel and you will receive assistance creating a new account on BLURT.

It's difficult for me to comprehend how non violent differences of opinion which deviate from the common narrative are harmful to others.
With the internet, we have this amazing ability to choose what we consume and what we do not consume. Perhaps this is freedom of choice?
If an idea/opinion/belief deviates from that of a central authority, we find ourselves needing a decentralized solution, like Hive.
But is Hive decentralized when a body of authority can dictate the visibility of a persons ideas/opinions/beliefs, while diminishing/cancelling out any possibility of rewards and increased visibility from other agreeing parties?
If I made a post which outlined an unpopular belief, and the post was downvoted by an account that supersedes the power of all accounts voting on the post beneath it, I start to feel like its a mainstream social media outlet, with a little more "pig in a blanket" feel to it, where everyone is nibbling at the little crusty flaky outside layer, while avoiding the pig in the middle.
Please excuse the strange metaphor, it came to me while composing this reply. I would hope that it's not considered a dangerous opinion for others to read.
I does look like we need to finally drop the idealist stance that decentralization is inherently "good". And that everything that positions itself as decentralized is, in fact, decentralized.
Hive can only be a truly decentralized (anarchist) entity if—and only if—some central authority decides to make it so. Paradoxically. Isn't that right?
Thank you for your thoughts on this topic.
The idealist inherently good mindset mitigates the idea that we are still operating within a pyramidal power structure which is representative of much of what is wrong with the real world, and is the fear of biting into the pig in the middle which keeps people quiet.
Seems that way yeah :/
the "problem" is TOKEN DISTRIBUTION.
(IFF) 20 accounts control 51% of the active votes (THEN) decentralization is dead (which is fine, just stop pretending)
however,
if someone can place a witness within the top 20, it can block any NEW changes to the blockchain.
generally, people shouldn't be able to constantly change the rules in their own favor - the top 20 can freeze and or outright steal accounts at will.

I have questions, sir. What happens when I vote an account as a witness? Why is it important? What happens if I don't vote anyone?
precisely.
Isn’t this meant to be the whole point of decentralised social media that one can share outlier opinions? These posts get the most interaction on Fb too out of any so I don’t know how it’s classified as a shit post.
Unfortunately.
I am happy you are who you are.
Thanks!
God Bless Capitalism.
Thank you for referencing me as Free Speech witness.
I will invest $10,000 if you blacklist AZ and Curangel on your witness node.
Why? What did he do?
Sorry if I might sound ignorant to the dramas surrounding the blockchain, but I want to know more about this one now before doing anything.
He is a key actor in this toxic major share holder battle.
Without AZ I would still be on Hive... I am in the middle of powering down to leave forever.
I'm going to take a look at it before seriously consider your proposition.
I can run a witness node if you fork the network.
It's an interesting proposition.
it is my honor
An idea that might increase the effectiveness of this post you've got going...
Since you already have a bunch of posts up that can't be downvoted, you could make this front post you keep tagging people in more of just a few recent updates, with a bunch of links down below - and then for each topic you have a full post with your evidence, comments, replies, etc.
Use one as the updates & table of contents - then spread the rest out - so people aren't trying to read through a post that's gotta be close to the limit for a hive post, full of images, videos, etc.
Looks like I got dragged in anyway, lol.
I un-muted you days back.
Sadly this post does not load on my phone properly almost like it is being targeted with virus code

I'm on Blurt now posting whatever the fk I want to and no downvotes there.
It's a refreshing feeling. Also, they have their own abuse mitigation. I don't know all the details of it, but you just post and engage there.
nice, it's always wise to keep your options open
i haven't completely given up on hive quite yet
it's just strange how almost everyone here says they love free-speech so much, but nobody will stand up to h!vewatchers
Happy to read this :)

Lol I'm not going to pretend to understand your rant here. You're all over the place. However, I will agree that @logic is a gay robot and @guiltyparties is a self absorbed gypsy queen who has a thing for Ecuadorian scammers I mean seductors.
Hint: the thing is an erection, although be it a weak gypsy erection.
@logiczombie Igormuba is not really a free speech advocate. You may want to find a more competent witness for your list.
As usual, I don't get it. Why would downvotes affect top earners? Why don't they affect only the One receiving them...? I'm confused and give small probability that will be rectified.
The rewards from flags goes back to the pool which largely goes to the top earners.
I'd like to see the rewards removed by flags burned.
Look. I came here telling the truth about certain things and people freaked out and called me a “terorrist” and tried to chase me out. My very first interaction on steemit in 2017 was entering the palnet server after I was invited by one of the mods and I was immediately attacked and told I wasn’t welcome. That interaction morphed into my permanent ban (and aggroed won’t listen to any of his mods) on a false rape accusation by the very person who attacked me upon arrival. She admitted she never met me and that she lied and I am still banned. All the reasons they have given are moot as they are full of people who continually do much worse things than I ever did on a daily basis. THAT is a de facto ban based on politics. THAT is suppression of free speech. THAT is discrimination. THAT is an example of any excuse being good enough to give them the means to the end they seek which is exclusion and censorship. Have you ever been banned for lighthearted banter with a mod who also objected to the way you are treated?
That being said, what you are experiencing is actually quite fair. The gypsy queen has reversed his sugar daddy’s ban on you and what dumbass @logic does has no effect. Your beef with everyone else is just that. It’s the reality you made for yourself. Sometimes you need to realize that you go about things the wrong way even when you’re doing the right thing.
First impressions are everything. And you act like a self absorbed idiot.
I tried to google to see if there is a study on garlic and covid-19, or about geographic correlations of garlic consumption and covid-19 outbreaks. Although there was a research paper or two suggesting the possibility of a theoretical benefit, and general states who who grows/eats the most garlic, most of the search results ended up being fact checks addressing certain claims involving garlic and other remedies (i.e. take a hot bath/shower); that there is no scientific evidence. If it is relatively harmless and routine human behavior being advanced as prevention, why go through all the effort to pad the results with the factchecking bulls___ preventing useful results. I Wasn't going going through all the google results, and I stopped after the first few pages. If there was a study performed, I really don't want to go to page 99992336478367863 of results to find it. I can increase the garlic in my diet without needing to confirm my suspicions, and if I am wrong about my suspicion then at least I'll be healthier from other viruses, mold, parasites, and bacteria.
Ironically when I googled how to treat covid-19 at home, some of these remedies they poopooed are suggested on university sites to treat the symptoms. So even if it failed to prevent the disease, it might at least treat the symptoms early and maybe help prevent the spread.
It is very disturbing that @hivewatchers is seeking to ban anti-vax ideas. Perhaps they should elaborate on what they think is dangerous disinformation, before I go on a 1024kb dissertation in 64kb of space, they could offer a defense to their misconduct and delusions of law. There is a covid outbreak at one of my relatives' college-Everyone was required to get a vax. The state CDC guy says that vaccines are safe and effective, but we observe all these breakthrough cases. I spoke with her the other day, she too though she was safe because she was vaxxed-because that is the official narrative. I had to break it to her that in the time has elapsed her protection is down to 20%, and she needs to to take less risks and protect herself from propaganda.
There are immortality complexes on both sides, and I would suspect the record covid-19 outbreaks in states and countries with the highest vaxxed rate is because the fact checkers are have eschewed so much false confidence in the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine it has created an immortality complex on a great scale among the vaccinated who have nearly lost the state of having any immunity. Those who had immortality complexes on the anti-vax side, probably already got it by now. There are also real dangers with the covid-19 vaccine, and there is just reason for people to do their own risk assessment. It is reflecting upon these risks that is important to the calculus of risk aversion.
Some people and countries have used ivermectin, and there are mixed reports on it's effectiveness. The daily rates of new cases in India has dropped to 11k after using an ivermectin protocol, supposedly that protocol is either no longer in use. For most people the risk of ivermectin might be Headache, dizziness, muscle pain, nausea, and/or diarrhea-relatively mild compared to the claims about it. Even if the benefit of ivermectin is statistically insignificant, the placebo effect might prove beneficial and who are we to deny them of it or literature about it's effectiveness? Perhaps there is something else going on to explain this phenomena in India-maybe it is the weather, maybe it is poor testing capabilities. Maybe it is because China and India have high levels of garlic in their diet. Just a hypothesis; science. But without being to assert those ideas because they aren't yet proven means these ideas may never be tested at a clinical level-Why? Because it is banned as misinformation,disinformation, dangerous, etc, etc. But yet at the same time, there aren't studies to reject a hypothesis that Garlic may be within a toolkit of lesser treatment options for covid-19 treatment and prevention. In another words, those demanding facts are not only anti-science but really don't want to consider the possibility there may be better ideas. Like a change in protocol will cause a media fact checker to break out into an autistic tantrum, because the real facts may take the fact checker out of his safe space of obsessional ideas and into a realm of great Post traumatic embitterment stress disorder of discomfort and attacks on others.
Suppose we recommend Orange juice for Vit C, a bowl of cereal to help get zinc, milk to get vit D. All missinformation and dangerous because it hasn't been proven. What many factcheckers would call dangerous, describes the stereotypical breakfast of many ordinary Americans.
So please hivewatchers tell me what is your stance on downvoting people who are anti-vax? Is a common and stereotypical American breakfast too dangerous for hive? Too many carbs perhaps? Would you prefer Bacon and eggs on the menu, or would the cholesterol be too dangerous? Would you prefer it if we do what the WEF advises and eat the maggots to save the earth?
And finally, the freedom of speech includes the right to have and express the wrong idea. The one who is confused about the freedom of speech is you hivewatchers.
I love garlic.
same. It also has many medicinal properties, which can be convenient when the nearest pharmacy is 15+ minutes away. I used it for a tooth ache once; pain went away in about a minute.
I am trying to grow some in my garden next year. It is possible I waited to long to get the cloves in the ground; but it is more to see what I can grow. Probably just as well; so much Garlic comes from China these days.
Good.
Please remove me from your list.
After reading a few of the comments here I would like to suggest alternatives or one anyway.
I love hive and so far have had no down vote issues. I have been eyeing the unstoppable domains project for about a year now. I wanted to be able to pay with earned crypto and not fedearal reserve notes so I have not bought my own domain yet. There is also the learning curve if you're not too tech savvy.
It is sad when one can not be true to oneself because someone else may take offense but we are a varried life. It would be dull if everyone was identical in every way. There would also be nothing to learn and therefore life would become stagnate.
I have $10,000 for the first witness to blacklist AZ and Curangel

@logiczombie hey, friend ¿Can you remove me from your list, please?
Hi! @logiczombie I'm one of the people who doesn't have an account on blurt yet. But would love to! No rush though, I just wanted to leave a comment as instructed. Thank you!
Please stop tagging me, thanks.
The fact that there are accounts upvoting and downvoting each other, doesn't mean the blockchain isn't decentralized. Even if a post is downvoted to zero, the info is still preserved on the blockchain. Upvotes and downvotes are subjective, but the decentralized nature of Hive is crystal clear.
True, but the fact that 1 account has the stake to decide who all of the governing witnesses are, certainly does.
You can't be a top (consensus) witness without the vote from blocktrades - period. The top pretty much all vote for each other as well.
How many block producers does BTC Have? ETH? Monero? Komodo?
The entire fate of Hive is decided by (at most) less than two dozen folks.
You have a point here...

Wow that was a longgg post. Long plus interesting . I stay out of the politics and just come here to be with friends. Anyway I'm back. Hope you and your family are keeping well. I didn't realise you were on Hive until I did a bit of digging. Good to see ya. Don't be a stranger.
first they came for the "flat-earthers", and i did not speak out - because the planet is obviously an oblate-spheroid...
then they came for the "conspiracy-theorists", and i did not speak out - because i really don't stick my neck out for "lunatics"
then they came for the "pro-VOLUNTARY-vaxxers", and i did not speak out - because i generally like to "stay out of politics" generally
by the time they came for the independent-minded-free-thinking-skeptics, there was nobody left - are you kidding me ? those free-thinkers never join anything or listen to anyone !!! - they're super easy to pick-off one by one.

and include it in your next post.
then sit back and see what happens.
HERE IT IS!
Did you ask me for consent before publication? NO.
Not that anything of importance is published there, but it is always important to ask for permission.
I have seen this before. The day that anyone needs your consent to publish on Hive is the day Hive loses all value. Hive only exists because Justin Sun did exactly what you are doing on Steem.
I strongly recommend you cease your censorship of @logiczombie. While you may disagree with his opinion(s), Hive's greatest value is that it enables free speech. As the internet becomes more censored, the value of Hive increases. Unless it's also censored, which you are doing.
You are free to decrease the value of the token as you see fit. I don't use it as money, so I don't care. You may not grasp that Hive has value mostly because it has free speech, and that affects the value of your stake, so I thought to elucidate. You appear to think people value your opinion because you have what you consider valuable stake. I thought you'd prefer to not reduce the value of your stake, as that seems to be your sole source of self respect, and the respect of others for you.
I do not value people, or their opinions, based on the size of their wallets. I reckon there must be other valuable traits you possess upon which to base your self esteem, and would happily recommend some you could undertake to embody for that, and other, even more meaningful, reasons. Start with kindness, and you will not go wrong, IMHO.
I will recommend “knowledge”, and “networking” for you. Perhaps then you didn’t have to recommend kindness to me. I am saying this only then you will figure out kindness is a virtue that I have.
None of my behavior impedes free speech. Downvote doesn’t remove the content. It just demonetizing. My stake is based on my hard earned money, yet I don’t care about it. Otherwise I could have optimized on how I can grow it efficiently. I don’t care about the value of my stake. I do care about improving the value of the platform. I do care about making honest hardworking people financially free.
Censorship is defined as the 'suppression of speech...' Removing content is one of the ways that speech can be suppressed. Flagging is the means of preventing spam, so it obviously suppresses speech. That suppression is cited as the reason flags exist on Hive. It is obviously true that reducing the reputation and earnings potential of someone on Hive by flagging every single comment and post they make suppresses their speech.
There is censorship I believe in. In fact I just published a post with that title. However, flagging someone for the content of their speech because you disagree with it is not censorship I believe in, and it strongly discourages not only the user flagged, but the community generally, and worst of all, it discourages people from becoming users of Hive.
Hundreds of Hive users have left because of exactly being flagged for the content of their speech in the years I have been using Hive, and if you have been here very long, you are very unlikely to be unaware of that.
@logiczombie posts quality content and has a following that values his posts. I hope you care about improving the quality of the platform enough to refrain from censoring his posts from now on, and discouraging him, other users, and potential users of Hive. The best way to improve Hive is to attract new users, and retain the ones already here.
Thanks for the courtesy of your reply.
There is no suppression of speech. There is no content removal due to downvote. The content is there and anyone can read it. This is a fact and there is no argument against this fact.
Only the monetary rewards were removed in a downvote. People who likes to leave should. There is no compulsion.
So, according to you flagging does not discourage spam? I disagree, as did the creators of Hive, and hundreds of users that have used flags to discourage spam on Hive. Driving people who aren't spammers away from Hive by discouraging free speech is the complete antithesis of Hive, and destructive of it's purpose.
I do not believe your statements are forthright, honest, and sincere. Your participation in Hivewatchers reveals you do use flags to discourage spammers, and are fully aware you suppress speech by flagging.
It is facile to claim that flags, the sole mechanism on Hive competent to suppress spam, don't also suppress other content as well. You don't have to speak honestly, but when you don't you earn the low opinion of everyone that finds deliberate falsehoods exclusively the resort of people without merit. No one finds your protestations convincing.
You are acting to degrade and denigrate Hive. While I don't care about the token value, I do value the ability to speak freely, and to consume content provided by those that can speak freely on Hive. If you don't and want to use a platform that does not allow free speech, you can go anywhere else on the internet where other censors will openly acknowledge your agreement with censorship and intent to suppress free speech there.
Please stop censoring here.
Thanks.
I never said downvote doesn't discourages spam (I hate double negative). It does. I DV to discourage spam. I also downvote to disagree with reward and will continue to do so. This is my last word and end of this discussion.
you're already downvoting me, and you've already explicitly refused to explain exactly what your demands are, so, what the heck do you want from me?
Absolutely nothing!
Good luck!!
Legit question...what is it exactly that bothers you so much about people wanting to question the mainstream narrative on the hive blockchain? I totally understand you and others don't agree with the idea of corruption from within governments but does that make it ok for you to be such an influential adjudicator? I've come across quite a few of your interactions on this subject and besides coming across as a bit of a bully, I have to say you seem a little arrogant. From where I stand it seems @logiczombie is asking reasonable questions and being quite restrained while doing so. I think the least you could do is try resolve this issue or just agree to disagree, because the longer this sort of thing goes on the worse it looks to everyone looking in. Please also remember that nowhere on hive does it inform people who sign up that there are certain subject which are not allowed to be rewarded.
If you are “reasonable” I will give benefit of doubt, and assume positive intent.
Unfortunately logiczombie is around for a long time and knows all the nuances, at least should.
You however someone I do not know. So if you have a question I will answer it to the best of my ability.
You are correct it doesn’t say anywhere on hive that certain will not be rewarded.
Mind you, it doesn’t promise any reward either. Only says your content may be of value. It is judged whether it is of value by cumulative votes which are stake weighted. That’s it.
Most people who are complaining are farmers and want money for their shitpost which won’t be worth anything in the real world. We reward a lot of that. As collectively people don’t use enough downvote power. But there is only so much we can tolerate and a line have to be drawn and I have drawn my line to the best of my judgment, and logiczombie is currently on the wrong side of the line. That’s all.
I speak politely due to the fear you have created by your overbearing actions. If I’m honest, the way you and yours conduct yourselves is quite offensive to me(which is just life so no real bother). I wouldn’t normally speak out like this but on this occasion you seem to have downvoted this post purely because you disagree on a personal level. Downvoting was never intended for that and has always been sold as a way to combat abuse. What has been created is akin to watching children squabble in a playground.
I think you and I see Hive quite differently. I won’t speak for you but the way I see hive is like an auction or a garage sale where people pay what they think is a fair value for something they like. In that respect, we do not sit in the auction room waiting for someone to bid on an item only to step in as some middle man who adjusts the agreed price for no other reason than he/she doesn’t like the product being sold. There is a place for a middle man but that should to protect the auction against buying stolen goods. If people are selling shit then I understand the need for a watchman but much of what I have seen is a blatant attempt to control what’s on the trending page and therefore what’s visible to others(many of whom might like that content).
I find it quite telling when you use the term “we” as if you all have nominated yourselves as the opinion for everyone. You do not speak for me and I find value in much of the content being downvoted by those you refer to as “we”. In the end there is truth to be found on both sides of this argument and people should be able to make that judgement for themselves without feeling the need to punish, especially when some wield much larger weapons than others. We all came together to create hive due to someone wanting to control the platform and I imagine you were one of those who joined in this action. It seems quite ironic now seeing the same people attempting to do something very similar if not worse.
I mean no ill will towards anyone on here whether I agree with them or not but I do find this whole situation very tiring and reflective of the social media sites we strive to evolve from.
Peace be with you @azircon and I hope this can be resolved.
I am not in charge of your emotions. Also I can’t fix your misconceptions on science or facts. You have to go back to school for that.
You can see whichever way you like to see hive. I have no control over it. I see hive exactly the way it is described in the hive white paper. I say “we” because I help write it. I helped creating it at the time of its inception and so did 100s of others.

ok, i'll try - it's just infuriating when they won't even tell me what i did "wrong" AND they won't tell me what they want me to do - - it's like getting punched in the face and then saying i can't tell any0one i was punched in the face - because most people will just assume "i deserved it" without even investigating
I'm done talk too, I have $10,000 for the first witness to blacklist these clowns.
Steemit is great at doing that by manipulating the chain. Try them.
There's no content creators on steemit I am interested in.
They all came to hive, most of them required manual instruction I regret giving them now.
My payouts were manipulated so as far as I am concerned manipulation is in order.
I will double my offer to $20,000.
Please let me know if you find any witness willing to even attempt this.
I am just referencing the design of the blockchains, I noticed no one is using the white and blacklists much.
I see it as a good exploration of this technology to make these lists work live, on chain.
The lists that you see used on Hive Blog are based on the 'follow' function. Anyone can create those lists. You can make one, blacklist everyone you dislike, and encourage others to follow your list. What I'm assuming you're suggesting though is restricting accounts on the chain level. That's not something Hive will do.
You put so many videos and pics in here it's impossible to read. It's as it was explained. You're always looking for some conspiracy but it's all very straight forward.
