Hey there π
I don't know why you tagged me and dozens of other people but I don't see a good reason for that. Be careful, this could be considered spam and we don't like that here on Hive π
No worries, just wanted to let you know.
Have a great day βοΈ
This is proper plagiarism first link of the google research lol
You're right, I haven't realized that. That's another no-go...
And @trippymane, on top of plagiarizing the post, all three groups of tags (one in the post, two replies) were taken from recent @hivebuzz posts (the names are either those who qualified for HivePUD delegations, or those of us still qualified for #HPUM). Lucky me, I was in all three lists. ππ
I just saw your posts exposing someone I thought was a solid account as a plagiarist. Just wanted to say thank you for your work, I will give you a follow. Do you have a small group of folks that look for these fraudulent posts, or is it just something that you stumbled across organically?
Also, if I come across a post that has been plagiarized and I post the proof, is it ok to tag you to call for help in downvoting? If not I understand of course, as some people may try to retaliate, and I dont want to bring that upon you.
Anyway, good detective work, as a writer I appreciate it! These folks need to be stopped.
Hey @anarchistpreneur! Thanks in return for your kind words and I'm now following you as well. And it's a little bit of both - I was doing it on my own for a while, then I connected with a number of other anti-abuse folks, which has been awesome. π
Are you on Discord? If so, please feel free to jump in to the HiveDR group - https://discord.gg/tVjRSwTG9v. It's an amazing place to get feedback if you think you've discovered abuse on chain, and help in downvoting if necessary. You're also welcome to tag me if you need assistance. I appreciate your concern about retaliation - while it does happen here and there, as photographer & fellow writer, I share your sentiment that this needs to be addressed, so for me the need outweighs the risk.
Thanks again for your awesomely kind words - it doesn't happen that often when I've reported abuse (understandably so...lol!), so I appreciate it all the more. π
OMG you got bombarded π€£
Anyway I really cannot fathom why people do this, I mean it's wrong under so many aspects π When I see this posts I imagine the people behind the accounts to look like this:
source
Why? π€£ it's not like they can make money out of this posts, or create engagement, I don't know, every time I see one of them a brain cell dies π
Hope I'm not being too harsh π€£
I read so much shit on the Internet that I spotted it was a copy-cat from the first sentence lol
Nice to meet you π I've dropped you a follow!
Nice to meet you too. And thanks for your follow. Your content seems topnotch, so I followed you back π
Thanks a lot, you're too kind π
This chain is crazy, I'm loving the worldwide connections, and look at that, a new connection made through a plagiarized post ahah that's gotta be one of the weirdest thing happened to me on this chain! π
Big up!!!
That's true, it's super cool meeting and interacting with people from all over the world on Hive. I've experienced a lot on here but I think this is the craziest that has happened to me so far (in a good way). Now I'm glad I've got tagged because otherwise I wouldn't have found your profile π
!PIZZA
Ahhaha that is so cool, only on Hive from something bad can come out also something good!
I'm thinking the same! π€π€
Also I never do this sorts of things where I search for plagiarism, I felt a bit like the police, really bad feeling π I don't think I will ever do something like that again, but in this case this guys literally called for it π
