CF wasn't a great community member and personally i have no time for her content but that is besides the point for me. She was new to the community and using the sites. She did reply when i commented.
The main point for me was that she was a well known figure in the wider crypto community that joined the eco-system. instead of welcoming her in and trying to get her involved with hive more fully, she got abuse and threats from one of the largest stakeholders who drove her off the platform.
Now i know that she then went on a pure hissy fit and lost the plot but this could all have been avoided in the first place. Bad publicity is bad publicity. She did have hive links on her other content and did a weekly show with lea where the topic was discussed. It's only one user but a wider example of how some people try to control the content thats acceptable on hive.
It might happen later though, where people are a bit prouder of being here, rather than it being a dirty secret.
I hope that when we make it ourselves and get famous enough to get noticed that we wont be shy to say where it all began. I know that i'm proud to be part of hive and tell my friends all about it. In a few years when there are a lot more millionaires here i can see a time where people are coming in specifically to read the content and see how it was done and how to follow in th esame footsteps.
What do you mean? She was welcomed by the community. She did rather well before the bernie thing that lead to her going full aggro on Hive even though people gave her advice on how to mute/ignore the trolls and keep at it. Not really our fault she decided to think she knows things better and that we need a way on the blockchain level to block people from using their stake how they want.
This was Bernie I think. Part and parcel of decentralized environments and why second-layer interfaces are so valuable. If she had gone through Leo (at least now) she wouldn't have even noticed and if they chose, they could mute Bernie completely.
Yes. Second layer changes this.
I plan on being here long term, so I want the place to be the best it can be, because I have a "real life" too that I want to increasingly make Hive a part of. :)
