Some of you may have noticed that the Hive Discord Voice Channel has been buzzing with energy lately, as new shows spring to life. Well, get ready—another one is about to join the lineup!
We’re thrilled to invite you to the premiere of JABBER TALKIE, the first of many pop-up shows designed to spark conversation and connection within our decentralized community. On the Hive Blockchain, topics often emerge that get us thinking deeply. But thinking alone isn’t enough—we need a space to talk, to process, and to share our ideas out loud. JABBER TALKIE is that space: a discussion show where we come together to jabber and talkie these subjects in an open, constructive, and respectful way.
When we move from silent thoughts and written words into live conversation, we open the door to deeper understanding—and to shaping Hive’s momentum together.
JABBER TALKIE #1: Curation Projects and Curation Behaviors
Format: Panel Discussion
📅 Date & Time: Tuesday, April 8th, at 3:00 PM UTC
Where: Hive Discord Voice Channel
https://discord.gg/ESs6nnaA
For our inaugural show, we’re diving into the world of curation projects and behaviors around voting. We’re excited to welcome:
- @Enginewitty of The Alliance (PIMP)
Both have accepted our invitation to chat about their projects and curation dynamics.@JosephSavage of HSBI
More about our guests
Witty the Crypto Pimp is a seasoned community builder. An entrepreneur and his own think tank! A Fun fact about @enginewitty is he knew of Steem before it ever launched as he was working with Stan Larimer (Dan’s dad) on incorporating Bitcoin wallets to and with other blockchains and e-commerce sites. At the time, he was a BTC maxi.
Joseph has a background in finance technology (hedge fund consulting) and then moved on to corporate finance. He started sbi originally on steem as an experiment in whether a sustainable basic income could be crowdsourced with an opt in each one help one model. Later becoming HSBI which for all practical purposes this model is an account based curation program. Curators fund permanent funds for other accounts and get their curation back as votes in their own account
We’ve also extended a warm invitation to:
- @Pharesim of curangel
They’re welcome to join the panel if they’d like as we’d love to hear their insights too!@Acidyo of OCDB and POSH
Your Hosts
- @Meno— Legacy Hivian, A luthier by trade, Herzogian by hobby, cheese oligarch by appetite. Both a master of ceremony and BBQ
- @Buttcoins— Hive OG since 2017, Hotelier by trade, musician by hobby, a dancer but only in the darkness, and an all-around Butt
Points of Discussion
Here’s a taste of what we’ll explore:
- Delegating for Upvotes and Token Staking for Upvotes
- Manual Curation vs. Auto and Blind Curation
- Shitposting vs. Proof of Brain Discernment
- Reward Pool Impacts
- Downvoting: Tool or Weapon?
- User Retention: Leaks and Hooks
- Should Hive’s Unwritten Rules Be Written?
Expect a lively, thought-provoking conversation as we unpack these topics and more!
The Jabber Talkie Mission Statement
At JABBER TALKIE, we’re committed to fostering open expression and building a stronger Hive community through dialogue. Our mission is to create a space where diverse perspectives can be shared and heard, nudging Hive toward consensus discovery— through the power of constructive debate. As a social media blockchain, Hive thrives when we find productive ways to speak, listen, and collaborate.
We believe that respectful, civil discourse is the machete we need to carve a path through the decentralized jungle of challenges and opportunities ahead.
Our goal?
To strengthen the Hive community by amplifying voices, uncovering solutions, and sharing ideas that ripple beyond our airwaves. A podcast won’t solve every nuance and nuisance of Hive’s ecosystem, but it’s a meaningful step— a way to move the needle toward that change Hive was designed to embody.
Join us with open hearts and curious minds. Skeptics welcome—we’re here to talk it out! 😎
What do you think?
Ready to tune in or join the momentum on Tuesday, April 8th at 3:00 PM UTC?

Its gonna be a interesting show.
Maybe dive into how do Hive users decide which posts to upvote or curate, and what motivates their choices? If we understand the d
underlying reasons we might have a better chance of guiding it towards were the community wants it to be.
Great question, I’ll bring it up in the discission.
This could be fun. We need more dialogue, discussion, and a lot more tolerance and understanding of different points of view — not just understanding but accepting different opinions.
That's the point of decentralized communities, isn't it?
Sharing to Ourpick for bigger exposure and hopefully, more participants in the panel!

Please consider voting for our Liotes HIVE Witness. Thank you!
Im all about talking it out, facing whatever issues that arise directly and with a flexible adapting energetic.
Having some idea of what you are attempting to do, @buttcoins, I wish you well in your efforts. As a new content creator here on the Hive blockchain, it gives me a little hope that at least there are some conversations starting up.
Let's see if they are followed by some positive, constructive action which benefits this interesting virtual world.
P.S. Not a creative myself, I was impressed with your lead image and title of this new series you are undertaking. Clever!
Thanks for nice comment, that is an Ai created image that I described what I was looking for to it. lol, took me nearly an hour to get the AI to understand and give me an image I was good with, but yeah I’m not an artist in the drawing sense.
And yes, I’m going we can pull out some consensus and positive dialog around this subject.
That is useful information, @buttcoins:
Investing an hour of your time is not "chump change," as some might refer to it. In my short time here, I have at least some idea of the importance of getting the attention of others.
Your lead image, then, has what importance?
However anyone else might answer, that is why I commented on it, as I am pretty good with details others commonly miss. At least, that has been my experience with people in the real world. I am still learning whether or not that applies in this virtual world.
Thanks for sharing this perspective with me. 🤝
Been following some articles by Acidyo, Taraz and a few others on how curation happens on Hive. I'm glad to see discussion focusing on how we vote and curate content. It’s so important because the choices shape Hive’s community more than anything
Agreed, and yeah, as this is being talked about in many places via posts, that’s why we wanted a live discussion too!
perfect man, perfect
Is this the right place for the show?
