Hive posts are community moderated. The community are people.
If you attack people, they retaliate because theyre people. Some hit you with downvotes, some respond with words.
It still their choice, but the system to incentivize is there.

The freedom to be an asshole is a freedom just as anything else.

Agreed.
We also need to be saying meaningful things on #InLeo - it should become a forum for serious discussion, there is no reason it can not be a viable alternative to Twitter and similar platforms for discussion of current events.

Yeah, but rutinary and confirmed assholes for a lifetime, actually need to be sentenced to some type of euthanasia or eugenics right away. Don't you think? ;p

Have you had a negative experience with this here?

Yep, you can say some sort of that shit.

My mode here on #Hive though is persuasion, as opposed to being deliberately confontational.

Well, I'm already too old for diplomacy. I already used up all I had left. Nonetheless, persuasion is also my style. But always with a lot of logic, synderesis and equanimity. And above all, always being deliberately confontational to get a lot of truly valuable logic, synderesis and equanimity in return. };)

I started a Politics related community and have been slowly creating content for it.

Uhm, sounds interesting. Maybe I gotta snoop a bit there in a quest for good stuff in your community. ;o)

Cheers!
