Downvotes are used as weapons on Hive

in LeoFinancelast year

Hive, a blockchain platform, has been experiencing some challenges related to its voting system, specifically the use of downvotes as weapons. It seems that certain individuals are misusing this feature, employing it as a weapon rather than a tool for maintaining content quality. These individuals, who may or may not be mentally stable, are using their voting power to bully and intimidate other users. This is a significant concern as it undermines the intended purpose of the voting system and creates a hostile environment within the Hive community.

Moreover, these actions are not being addressed by other Hive witnesses, further exacerbating the issue. This inaction allows the perpetrators to continue their harmful behaviour unchecked, which includes 'farming' Hive at an alarming rate. This term refers to the act of exploiting the system to gain more rewards, which is a clear violation of the platform's intended use.
