Thank you so much for checking my other post and providing such a clear, honest answer to this.
I believe I've understood you correctly, and I'll probably summarize it something like this in my final guide:
"Although Hive is 'free & uncensored', it's still a group of humans. And, as with any group, it's best to be respectful and kind. Because just like in real life, if you disrespect or upset an influential Hiver (one with lots of Hive Power), there may be backlash. (Like having your account downvoted into obscurity.) No need to fret though, you've dealt with this situation before... either at school, or at work, or in any other group. For example, if you were a regular at a bar and accidentally pissed off the bar-owner, then refused to make amends, you'd likely be ostracized or even banned from the bar. Same thing goes for Hive. Learn the culture, contribute positively, and chances are you'll do fine."
As always, I appreciate your help, and will make sure you're credited in the posted version. Wishing you a great weekend! :)
I was hoping some other's would help with the rest. I will re-HIVE this.. and maybe they will. An example of drama is here. This person has some grudge against OCD.. and that account is on the large side. While not destroyed, if they continue.. then they will never get any rewards.
Trying to show the community that 'this.. or that is not worth this much'.. also goes down like a bagful of shit. Look at the older posts heh...
I'm very grateful, thank you. :)
And wow! It's so helpful of you to link that. Personally I wouldn't dream of behaving like the person in your link, but having an example makes everything much clearer. And yikes, I looked at a few of the posts there and totally get it. Exactly what I needed.
It's worth noting that @intothewild , @meesterboom , @marc5 (I think he re-hived too!), @dandays , and @joshman all helped answer some questions. It's great to see so many people caring about beginners. I did a ton of research of my own to answer the others, and now, with your help, there's only 6 questions left! I'm so excited to finishing polishing the guide and get it launched. It turned out to be the size of a small book, but hopefully I've made it easy-to-navigate and fun enough with doodles that it won't be intimidating.
Glad I could help dude, you got some good people around you. A couple names I rely on for help you might wanna consider following are @trincowski and @splatts. One is a developer and one really knows the in's and out's of Hive. Between all these names, you should have some relevant responses.
Oh snap, somehow I missed this comment... I bet these two would've been super helpful while I wrote the Hive Beginner's Mega-Guide, lol.
Well, I'll check 'em out now, and I feel super blessed for everyone contributing so much love and help to the cause. :)
We care because this is a decentralized ecosystem, someone has to do something in order to market us and become succesful, it won't be done by itself. So everyone should put out its best, that is the power of decentralization.😀 I hope it really becomes the ultimate guide for hive!
Well said! I totally agree, that's why I wrote the guide, to make onboarding easier for anyone who's 'marketing' Hive to newbies :) I think it's close to the ultimate guide...? :)
