Those were the days, huh?
Speak up, get wiped from the pool.
A few words from the plebe and negative reps were your rewards.
The luckiest got profanity laced death hexes in their comments.
It was quite entertaining to watch, excepting the money to eat parts.

Today seems different, iyam.
Did you want to name names, and present evidence, or are we supposed to believe this is the current state of the pool on your say so?

I do see how some who are more abrasive get squashed by the whales. There's plenty of content outside of the commonly thought of as "no no" subjects that don't seem to get the treatment described, but if you talk about politics or religion, you're discussing topics that are usually dividing topics. I could see some people using their voting power in line with their political or religious beliefs, because they can't see past their own fanaticism. I started reading lucylin's work shortly after arriving here. He seems to be one who speaks his mind and gets the treatment from the whales who have given him a permanent down vote regardless of what he posts. Other than him, I don't know who else is getting the treatment on the regular. I do read some political posts, but usually stay away from them. In an uncensored forum, you never know what will happen...

As for the circle, if you stay around long enough, you can see the consistent accounts that make up the majority of the "rich" upvotes. Although the system was created to allow this, I'm not sure how you could rewrite the code to avoid it and still have this chain work. Even spammers get down voted all the time, but still post...I'm not sure you can boot them off the system... then again, it's an uncensored community. Can't stop the spammers except through muting, I suppose, but they'll just keep spamming quietly. Lol

The whale circlejerk will end when they find some shame, until then, this isn't as bad as it was, imo.

I follow lots of downvote trails, I'm in the abuse mitigation discord servers, too.
Lucy was just very vocal about his viewpoint and his flagger got tired of hearing it.
When lucy's content moves on I expect so too will any flagging.

Anything recorded to the chain is there to stay, even the edits.
Some people don't realize that we are in a post false reality paradigm.
No longer can liars lie with impunity, there is an 'immutable' record of it for all to see.

This is going to cause many game players to be underemployed, likely pushed out, asp.

Too bad, sooo sad.

Now, please name names, privately, if you wish, or stop spreading fud, eh?
This is what got lucy x'd out.

Or don't, I'm nobody's boss.
Wouldn't want to be, either.

I'm good. I appreciate the response with the explanation. Ranting can get old quick, especially with so much good that's happening all around. It can be too easy to get narrowly focused. Thanks again!

Start with the downvotes on this post and quit milking the fake ignorance!

Do what?

The "name accounts that are downvoting" stuff - altleftie, acidyob, aircon - all the usual cunts - you know the big names as well as I do..

And then the thousands of fake gimp accounts they control whose names are meaniningless and fleeting

Or are they all just part of the same giant festering maggot?

Hard to tell, one of the early coders, sneak, I think, said he didn't care about the 1st million accounts, he was worried about the second.
The timing of such a statement led me to believe that several 100k accounts were being created to pad the numbers of new users adopting the platform.
It's hard for me to put anything past a coder looking to get paid for easy work.
Or, anybody really.

Until there is enough inflation to dilute the stake enough to end this issue, attacking is futile, imo.
We would do best to teach the newbs not to vote on posts with more than 5htu on them.
Doing this will sooner spread the rewards to those without much.
If we tell them to power up 1mv's worth, soon there won't be enough to go around, and the price should rise.

Today seems different?

Pull head from arse and breathe deeply!

You've been around awhile, it only took me about two weeks to figure out there's no decentralization. As far as it being the same people that took considerably longer because well you need to familiarize oneself with various writing styles, speech patterns, etc., now it's just a matter of relating who wrote what under what avatar. I never had any great expectations of getting rich so I guess it's just easier for me to carry on, as far as the rest of it....

Thanks, I don't listen to that video as often as I should.

Permission to use this post....errr.....elsewhere....?

It seems that many commentators have have misunderstood where this is really coming from, and what it actually means. There is a lot of coded commentary in this other than what may seem the obvious to some. Most cant understand the angle that I wrote this from, but a handful will understand it a lot more deeply than what it seems on the surface. A few will understand it extremely well, but they will be the few odd exceptions. Not everything in this post is meant to be taken in the literal sense of the words. And no, this is not just about "flagging", as some people seem to think or suggest. It is about a lot more than that. It is about authoritative abuse in multiple forms.

As for the more obvious parts to the majority of readers, this is not a new phenomena in general and I obviously know that. I am not suggesting that this is a new phenomena or that I already didn't understand how this blockchain works or has worked from it's inception. I didn't just suddenly work this out now....not even close. I also didn't just realise that the decentralisation aspect is a cheap gimmick to sell to the masses as a way to get them to join their circle-jerk party.

It was just a spontaneous need to write for mainly personal reasons, and to send a message to the disgusting serial abusers both on the blockchain and even more so, on discord - which in many ways is an even more dangerous control mechanism, and perfect hideout for the abusers. It is their little "safe-haven", where they can congregate discreetly in the shadows of darkness.

I care not for all the ass licking turds, who will try and throw mud and mock me in public about this. Those people are all just desperate to take the "easy" road of group thuggery, or are desperate for a few votes from the very people who enable this show to roll on. They are all a bunch of cucks, who shake in their boots and submit to the extremely effective fear model.

That's all for now.

I read your post as if you were rapping it...maybe put it to music if so inclined!? :)

Yeah, was just a spontaneous rant that came out that way. I enjoy writing rhymes, so thought why not rant in rhymes too!

They love discord long time...

Long long time...
