While still the most censorship resistant blogging platform, HIVE still has its issues. @hivewatchers and @themarkymark have a great deal of influence on what content is visible on some of the more popular frontends/interfaces.
You will not see me voting to support either of their proposals to allocate HIVE DAO funding. There are too many other positive project proposals for which I advocate. Yes, our votes count 🐬! What are you advocating? (a rhetorical question because I already know)
I will probably catch hell for this comment, but guess what?
I’m just a stake holder using my stake as I see fit.
As is your right. I am just a smaller stake-holder (not funded by the DAO) sharing my personal insights. 😁
Neither am I
You are correct. Just checked the active proposal lists. Your blacklist is no longer being funded. Forgive me. I was not up to date on current funding. Thank you for correcting me.
Actually; I sincerely thank you. It has been a while since I have looked at the proposals seeking funding and have found a few that I like and subsequently have voted for!
Yes. Hive still has issues. Pervading mass scam and fraud.
The other issues are users repeating-spreading fake news, false information and lies copied from cognitively deficient, vulgar compulsive trolls like these***:
"frankbacon" mass plagiarist scammer, mentally ill believer of reptilian Illuminati, flat earth, QAnon, anti-vaxxer, climate change denier and supporter of the hypothesis that covid-19 pandemic is fake and made up by the governments from all over the world with the help of hundreds of thousands of scientists and engineers from all over the world are lying to us in their research and faking up their evidence about Covid-19.
"profsanjeevsharm" the fake professor identity deception/fraud account of "johnlambrechts" mass scammer and creator of mass plagiarism fraud project "utopiaeducators"
***while doing no check up on accounts caught for abuse. No reading of comments left by abuse projects or merely going to abuse projects and asking them about the caught abuser and their history and actions.
Scams, plagiarism, and fraud, should have attempts made to control.
Fake news, opinion and beliefs are free speech. If a person wants to believe the world is flat, or covid is a lie or the queen is an alien I really don't care, they have the right to post talk and make videos on that as much as they want. Limiting, blocking or banning speech of that nature is a slippery slope to a NEW SPEAK world, it is not a hard leap from that type censorship to say this religion or that religion is a fake religion.
Who told you that they are not allowed to post their nonsense?
There has been not a single case when Steemcleaners or Hivewatchers downvoted or blacklisted anyone for their opinions. If that is what you are trying to imply. The project does not care what someone writes. There are plenty of users that were reported to Hivewatchers for what they write: all sorts of dangerous cuckoos, terrorists, racists, etc.
All reports were rejected.
I'm already with you because you are RIGHT and This Dan is obligating himself to correct SEVERAL mistakes that followed from the old Chain... politics is a BCH sometimes.
As I said,
It is what it is.
There are no easy solutions to the issues we battle with on the HIVE Blockchain. HIVE IS NOT A DEMOCRACY because there is not, and never has been in the entire history of social constructs, such a thing!
