RE: When Is a Censor Not A Censor? The Wider Implication of Downvote/Cancel Culture on Hive.

in Proof of Brain4 years ago (edited)

This burned a hole in my seat while reading. You really set the record straight. I loved the linguistics part. I mean etymology of course. Reminds me a bit of Chomsky and Pinker. Arguable a social class system in a dPoS consensus favors majority stakeholder in creating their narratives? Effectively shaping moulds with all these silly posting challenges to win hive, which i am also a part of sometimes. Don't get me wrong. I love the community here and i think we are all so awesome because we really make it happen. With that i mean a truly tolerant, liberal, free speech platform with little or almost no censorship? This is why i appreciate people who really write what their feel regardless of what anyone thinks. Because then i can truly relate to them if it resonates with me. I mean why would i want anyone to fit into a mould? They all come out the same way at the other end? It would be a lie if the majority isn't somewhat compelled to be admired by whales and adhere the content they publish to their liking? The hierarchy set aside, i don't want to sound arrogant, but not everyone that made a sh** ton of cheese is necessarily a smart person. POB. Apart from monetary motivations / value incentives, isn't it clear and obvious that so many of us have alterier motives that aren't related to temporary gratification?

Thank you so much for taking time to reply. You are highly appreciated and such a valuable soul to our community. Really admire your efforts and prize how eloquently you write.

No problem, You are welcome. Thanks for being you too :)

In a sense, yes, though that is not an advertised feature of proof of brain. The image of proof of brain being only a demonstration of 'good' ideas all done in 'good' faith is a bit naive.

Absolutely, yes, this is essential to a healthy society.

That is definitely in some people's minds, but I think it's not really necessary as long as writers align their thinking partially towards community topics and helping the community thrive. If people address this aspect of Hive and do it well then they will naturally draw the attention of larger stakeholders.

Yes, we do, and that's all a key part of being who we are - it's what makes a social space thrive!
