@pfunk so his bot is authorizing to me to upvote himself only? How otherwise would he generate coin to distribute to his delegators? I looked at his page, and it seems there is a solid split between people who are okay with it and people who are not. What are they doing that was non-consensual? Why did people feel left out if they could all freely opt in? Was it disturbing other people's organic curation process?
So which bots were okay to use? Is upvote bot still working? The page said it was shut down.
Because his account is in your account's posting authorities, it means he can do any posting-auth operation on Hive using your account. This means voting, posting, editing. So he's using his auth on your account to vote on his comments using your account. This is why I suggest only keeping the accounts for the services that you use authorized, and removing the rest.
@pfunk I removed the auth.
This place is getting super fascist it seems.
Even my comments are being downvoted.
What is my error? Being absent?
That's really F'd up.
How do they stop it?
It's not even like there is a DM feature.
Discords are all blacked out.
So basically they've just decided that none of my comments can be rewarded from now on?
WTF?
Hi, I see that guiltyparties has already solved it with you in "general".
No. The downvote from @spaminator is pretty insignificant.
