people are leaving fb because of control,
Fb show pushy ads, do we? Fb forcefully delete your post and even sometimes wiping out your account, do we? Do people play NFT games with only fb login?
they won't come to another controlling platform for the purposes of free speech,
Someone was blacklisted by spamminator for obvious reasons. He still have $1000 in Hive Power. He earns curation rewards. He plays splinterlands and all dapps of hive. He even still post of 2nd layer solutions and earn there token. If you do this with utube or Facebook they will just cut off everything. We have given you control if you play the game by rules. If you wanna be a player, you can't hate the game.
If you wanna make a change, play the game by rules, become big player and make new rules.
completely agree.
What is Hive controlling? We don't have a magical printer to print money. Consider it like a stake in company. The people with highest stake can make rules, just like directors of companies. Even the small fishes can agree of one thing and fight with big whales. This is the problem from "Meh Rewards" group also since they can't get together on one thing. Welcome to web 3.0.
There is no free speech here whilst a small handful of people with the largest stake can effectively downvote peoples posts to zero taking away any right to earn like the rest on the platform and get them greyed out or moved right to the bottom of the feed. I see lots of people this happens to. It’s a complete block on free speech whilst downvotes with voting weight exist. They either need to scrap downvotes or make it at least so it’s only worth equal for everyone whatever their stake. Masses won’t come to a platform they can’t feel free on i doubt in this climate. Obviously it’s just my opinion but millions just joined that gettr or whatever it’s called in one day purely because it’s free speech alternative to twitter. I personally wouldn’t even dare put an actual opinion about my world view in hive cause it’s way too much negativity, attack and I literally just leave it for fb actually.
And where does ‘we’ come from. You don’t own hive. I thought that was the point that it’s not owned by anyone. This is probably where the mentality comes from that a few people think they own hive. It’s like when people forget the police and governemnt work for us.
Change the word we = hive. It will make sense to you. "we" means how the plateform is designed or worked. But I am just a person on internet sharing my opinion. ;)
No hive is owned by everyone, like the world is if people woke up to their power. I believe the majority on hive don’t want a handful of people choosing what is on the feed because they used a big stake to downvote it. I imagine the majority want freedom. The only way anyone can know what the majority choose tho is by them forming communities and coming together on these threads as indivually the people have too little power to do anything and by standing up or questioning just risk being zeroed out so most stay quiet hoping they go under the radar whilst getting their payouts. It’s only when people lose the fear or enough come together that anyone will realise what the majority on hive want. I think the tables are slowly turning however on this one. We will see.
