I don't blame them for being touchy, they have suffered many false accusations over the last 5 years, not least of which includes collusion.

The fact remains without many of those names you mentioned hive would not even exist.
For that, they have some deference coming.
Some benefit of the doubt.

If they would have continued the whale experiment I would have mad respect for them, but instead they insist on putting their preference on who gets rewards.

If you can show the incestuous nature of the voting here, please do.
This tendency to circle jerk is hurting the distribution of the coin.
The more hands we get hive into, the better for us all, iyam.

About the only way to end the circle jerk is for another group of crabs to overpower the circle, otherwise, this is what we get.

This fact is why I call for a 1000mv voluntary limit on voting.
We need to make it customary that once you get to 1000mv you need to stop taking so much from the rest of us.

Just as the minnows are expected to act right once they get to 1mv, the whales should stop eating their own tails at 1000mv, imo.

Less than 70 accounts would be impacted by this.
The rest of us would see our vote values double, at least.
Allowing the redfish more say in who gets rewards would result in more redfish getting more rewards.

Now if only we were founded by leaders rather than impetuous rich children that could hire code done for them.

I agree that 'the community' will have to step up to take on leadership roles, if they so decide, but I hope many of those names continue to make the improvements that have brought us here.

Not that long ago we would never again see the light of day for having said as much as we have.

The current crop of deciders made it clear that those days were at an end.

The hive has benefited from that, not only in removing the chilling effect that it had on free speech, but in ending the sense of entitlement that led to such behaviors.
'Yes, you were here at the launch, no that doesn't make this your kingdom to off people's heads over dissenting speech.'

I have no doubt that if your facts are accurate, very few will join in the silencing of them.
That doesn't mean that opinions are safe, just facts.
Everybody gets an opinion and that opinion includes disagreement on rewards.
It's just a rule of this game.
If we change the rules on improvident whims to please a few, there might as well not be a game.

Games have rules.
No rules results in no games.
Changing rules impacts retention.
Increasing it, if the crowd agrees, and decreasing it if they don't.

Hive will be what we make of it, now that the one who's name we don't speak has ostensibly left the building.

The reward pool is a crab bucket, I'm just being a good crab.

What is it that you think folks might be doing?
Hive's distribution is actually fairly well dispersed.

.

I see, as with any stream of consciousness, hive has more below the surface than above.
Not out of any malice, that I have detected, but because chasing down the facts is sooo difficult.

I'd bet that our moles actively working to sabotage undetected are covering their tracks well, there has been no shortage of folks looking.

We ran off ned over his kneecappening and two year walkabout, we haven't run off those enabled by him to harm us.
I'd be surprised to learn that he still doesn't have a sizable chunk of hive.
I don't think anybody has been able to out freedom, and maybe a couple others, I would look into accounts with worthwhile amounts of hive, but not really active much that delegate out their hive power.
It would be a clue if they didn't vote witnesses during the fork to hive.

You a Leader? Well that is a new spin on your old Bullshit 🤣🤣🤣

If you really take full responsibility for your words and actions, then you will apologize for libeling and slandering me. And I am eager to accept your proportional reparations. Me thinks all of your Hive would be an acceptable payment for your doucheyness.

Show me the Money bitch.

I am ok with a court deciding my level of legal responsibility and deciding what monies, if any, are owed to you.

Cool 😎

Get out your checkbook; this ain’t gonna be cheap! Of course you know that already; or you wouldn’t be trying to hide all of your libelous comments.
