RE: $$$ FREE BLURT CRYPTO GIVE-AWAY $$$

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

It's difficult for me to comprehend how non violent differences of opinion which deviate from the common narrative are harmful to others.

With the internet, we have this amazing ability to choose what we consume and what we do not consume. Perhaps this is freedom of choice?

If an idea/opinion/belief deviates from that of a central authority, we find ourselves needing a decentralized solution, like Hive.

But is Hive decentralized when a body of authority can dictate the visibility of a persons ideas/opinions/beliefs, while diminishing/cancelling out any possibility of rewards and increased visibility from other agreeing parties?

If I made a post which outlined an unpopular belief, and the post was downvoted by an account that supersedes the power of all accounts voting on the post beneath it, I start to feel like its a mainstream social media outlet, with a little more "pig in a blanket" feel to it, where everyone is nibbling at the little crusty flaky outside layer, while avoiding the pig in the middle.

Please excuse the strange metaphor, it came to me while composing this reply. I would hope that it's not considered a dangerous opinion for others to read.

Isn’t this meant to be the whole point of decentralised social media that one can share outlier opinions? These posts get the most interaction on Fb too out of any so I don’t know how it’s classified as a shit post.

I am glad to see a sub 50-reputation account in the DV discussion.

The first-world Bucharzt's jibber-jabber wears me down.

I have questions, sir. What happens when I vote an account as a witness? Why is it important? What happens if I don't vote anyone?

It is just like casting your vote in general elections.

If you do not vote, nothing happens. If you vote, your vote is not changing much. If you spend hours of time on researching candidates, it makes no economical sense (the rewards for a good choice is tiny), although you might find it enjoyable. If you do not, you can proxy your vote (on Hive, not IRL) to someone who is not protecting 100% of your personal interests (as you would do) but the time you save makes it a good tradeoff.

He's a criminal... it's clear indication of criminal deviancy... let the courts figure it out.
All it does for me is let me know my comment got posted... and adds up in the end... and we're far from the end.

The way you worded that was a bit slandery but yes I agree about indications of criminal behaviors when people act unethically it is why I try to stay in my room as I live in Vegas and its just if you are not a criminal or get in line with them here much less anywhere in america you will lose trying to participate in this sick society.

Yeah pulling back the curtain of truth just to find a rabbit you have to relentless follow to understand the bigger picture just to find out decentralization with a DPoS system really does create weird scenarios in which the blockchain imitates life. We really do have gross double standards in this community currently. I still have faith these hypocritical behaviors by both witnesses and others is just a reflection of the chaos and apocalypse this world is experiencing and perhaps that is the brilliance of HIVE and how it imitates life. I mean non hateful informative anti government content by individuals either get dinged automatically with downvotes for vindictive purposes ie bully behavior or for political reasons.

But shit posting a plagiarized meme centered around racism will get you a $25 upvote from a top 20 witness and a welcome message from @hive.buzz

I like transparency. If we are open with our discussions in a public forum the discord whisper network can not sustain.

then think...
underground RADio

because I don't like the insinuation that I'M NOT
open and transperrant!

I've been OPEN SOURCE for 5 years!
Public admission of home phone, legal name, and home address...

SO I'M WAY MORE JON Q PUBLIC

than half the SH!Ts we're typing about.

Lol... the english language is a bit much at times. I am just saying a lot of the drama is reserved for discord dms. most People on hive are no different than most people in real life. Public forums are not where truth is supposed to be discussed. Supposed to be small talk you know groovy chit chat or general racism towards white people and sharing your experiences cross dressing your kids for Halloween while asking when the appropriate age would be to start transitioning your kid to the opposite sex.

You misunderstand...
I see HIVE has Open Email... Email ISN'T Private!
As a Concerned Citizen who was once Exposed online and Harassed, I switched tactics and became more open and public. It's the TYPING I have a problem with... apparently so do a lot of people.
There is this sickness whereby people see typed words and MAKE UP ALL KINDS OF ASSUMPTIONS... that usually are far off base. Also, as someone who's had private calls recorded and doxxed in the same way, I view all my Verbal Talks with people as Radio work and have them recorded, Livestreamed, or monitored by third forth and fifth parties ALL of the time.

So I absurdly assumed I could take this convo away from the keyboard where my brain doesn't operate too well... and go to spoken word to clarify details that would otherwise get lost in translation...

but now I feel creepy ... so have a good night Bruv.

it'll all work out.

You know seeing that racist meme and the support it got had me wondering how much of the downvotes out there are based on racism more than political reasoning

I does look like we need to finally drop the idealist stance that decentralization is inherently "good". And that everything that positions itself as decentralized is, in fact, decentralized.

Hive can only be a truly decentralized (anarchist) entity if—and only if—some central authority decides to make it so. Paradoxically. Isn't that right?

Thank you for your thoughts on this topic.

The idealist inherently good mindset mitigates the idea that we are still operating within a pyramidal power structure which is representative of much of what is wrong with the real world, and is the fear of biting into the pig in the middle which keeps people quiet.

Seems that way yeah :/

the "problem" is TOKEN DISTRIBUTION.

(IFF) 20 accounts control 51% of the active votes (THEN) decentralization is dead (which is fine, just stop pretending)

however,

if someone can place a witness within the top 20, it can block any NEW changes to the blockchain.

generally, people shouldn't be able to constantly change the rules in their own favor - the top 20 can freeze and or outright steal accounts at will.
