I see you keep tagging me through the edits which is fine. I appreciate your relentless fervor in standing up for what is right. You have noble intentions and really do care for others and Hive. It shows with how you stand up for others and hold other accountable for their actions.
The social media side of things on the first layer as far as creating antigovernmental content and politically controversial content is not a reliable way to reach audiences in a proof of stake arena that anymore is a true reflection of society in general. Most that know the truth are quiet while the 80% are pro government and corporation. It is a beautiful mess. While I do not agree with the actions of some of these whales/witnesses some of these same whales really are feeding people in other countries with their upvotes and creating/supporting crucial Hive 3.0 projects away from the 1st layer social media rewards pool. Creating second layer communities that is walled off from Hive seems like a do-able reality but I have yet to see it be done without cross-posting to Hive where you will be gobbled up. Still yet https://blurt.blog/ and what @thecryptodrive is doing seems to be the ultimate solution for people like you and @ura-soul especially with emerging metaverse stuff https://peakd.com/gamestate/@gamestate/the-gamestate-tribaldex-ido-begins...
I personally have been having a better experience trying to focus on NFTs, @splinterlands and emerging projects on hive engine. Check out my NFT gallery at @nftshowroom...
The reality here is that it is only 2 or 3 individuals that are causing most of the problems out of a community of 30k+. Having a situation where 1 person can determine the reach of the posts of anyone who stands out is actually worse than what is occurring on Facebook, since at least FB has a large team doing the 'editing'. While this may seem to be a problem only for 'dissenting voices', the reality is that the principles being invoked by these people are so unethical that they will very likely continue to do this even if everyone on Hive agrees with the mainstream narrative - they'll just find another reason to dominate the activity.
I totally get your view point. Think about it though. The masses silence on the matter as well as the witnesses' kinda points to true governance. I think it is a great sign Hive is reflective of reality. As our reality morphs into a new age so will Hive, we will just have to ride out this controlled demolition of the systems put in place post civil war and ww2. As it is, in America we are close to having what is going on in Australia with door to door military round ups so it is a bit intense to speak on anything in fear of being put on the States radar.
People know the the truth they are just now accepting it. There is hope. I just hope individuals like yourself is well prepared via solar, food supplies, community outreach etc as they start to rug pull stuff.
I think things will dramatically change for Hive as old witness votes expire and we see a more diverse set of investors now plus METAVERSE!
There is no single reality beyond that we exist. Everyone has their own reality and they often don't resonate closely enough that the people feel good around each other. Ultimately, everyone has their own destiny. Hive is currently reflective of humanity in many ways, yes, just as the rest of the web is. The point for me is that Hive is based on principles that are intended to represent a more evolved set of values and it enables us to demonstrate our choosing of them. Sure, everyone is free to participate and not evolve or to even devolve, but when this impacts others, it's ideal for a community to work to resolve the issue instead of deny, stick head in the sand and carry on.
I honestly do not think what one may find on facebook, instagram and other algo ai dominated web 2 apps is what you would find here yes we will find a reflection/ripple of what users that still use those platforms bring here. Its the DARPA contagion.
I get where you are coming from 100% it is always the darkest before dawn.
The real problem is the central banks and anyone participating in crypto currently, some may argue against btc maximalist, is rejecting the scam of fiat. Web 3.0 is about to go parabolic. You will have greater flexibility to influence change in your community and on Hive as we start to evolve into more than a first layer rewards pool circle jerk thing.
