Any other suggestions ?

As long as those whales are in charge of the raping and pillaging, and that raping and pillaging is still allowed, the only suggestion I have is, don't feed the beast. Your time is more valuable than tossing it into their demon pit lies, deceit, obfuscation, and general bullshit.
This is a dark place as it stands. I am amazed that there are any real humans left at all.

They need the top 18 spots in order to make any changes to the code.

I'm not trying to "change the world" but apparently merely talking about witness votes has them twitching.

Why else would acid bother giving me a 100% downvote ?

You have 30 witness votes - AND IF YOU DON'T USE THEM, THE OLIGARGHS WIN BY DEFAULT.

The least you can do is to get under their skin a little by voting for NOT the current top 50.

True. At one time I would have cared to. Right now it just doesn't matter to me anymore since it is a distant triple digit on my list of priorities. The world is having its tracks laid for the next stage.
As I have said before, I would rather spend my time on something that isn't toxic infested already. I'll get to the witness list thing at least though. Just for principle.

I've always known you to stand on principle.

Props.

Don't forget their fine followup. The Old Man will have a whole lot of new stamps to collect soon. And the record skips on.....

I didn't proxy you, but I did adjust my votes.

Thanks!

I noticed that you voted for the Hive Witness Node listed at the #7 on your screenshot. It is unknown who the operator of that Hive account is, and they literally (used to) pay HIVE to other users to vote for them as Hive Witness.

as long as they're not downvoting anyone, sharing their witness earnings with their supporters sounds like exactly what curie and curangel and even hivewatchers do.

I really think that we should use our downvotes to downvote those that are publishing categorically illegal content or obvious spam. That said, I don't want to support anyone who buys (Witness) votes.

if i take that one off my list, will you join me ?

I agree with your opinion that we should avoid voting for certain Hive accounts as Hive Witnesses (especially many of the Top 20 Witnesses) to lessen centralization of Hive. However, I still need to know more Hive Witnesses better before I start voting for them.

This guy always use to come after me for pointing out Israel's crimes. Nothing more hypocritical then a "free speech" or "freedom" advocate that live in and ignores the literally apartheid going on in his/her own country.

Downvoting for differences of opinion is bad.

Exactly.

And since you removed one of the most heinous offenders from the "Free Speech Supporter"(not sure whateverthefuck gave you that idea in the first place), I CAN support your post(and message).
