You don't understand how the hive works.
You cry about all the "abuse" and write a big post complaining and to "force" others into your ideas?
That's not going to work well. Good luck. However you have no new ideas. You have no direction. You don't have anyone supporting this.
You just seem like you are going to be screaming into the wind.
Good ideas don't require force.
First let me say this. The post is not complaining, it's sparking a discussion that is badly needed. And it's not "forcing" anything on anybody.
They are not alone and what makes you assume that there is no support. For all you know half the users of Hive could be in support of these ideas. But they are too afraid to voice their opinions for fear of down votes.
If we seriously want to make Hive grow then we need to address these issues or there will not be any kind of serious growth. The fact that we are actually losing users over the last year is a fact and it must be addressed.
I've been here 3 yrs and have never heard this discussion before so while they may not be new to you they are to me and thousands of others.
Bringing this stuff up for discussion is not force. You do not have to agree with them. Nobody is forcing you. Funny you complain about somebody attempting to "force" their ideas on you but you are totally fine with forcing your status quo on everybody else.
The only reason that it wouldnt work well is if people are content with their little chain that is bleeding users and value like a sieve until it eventually dies and fades away because they didnt want to have the discussion. So yeah, leaving an attacking hateful comment at the beginning of the discussion is not really helpful at all.
You are correct though, good ideas do not require force. But they do come as a result of discussion.
Not being willing to discuss and debate without an attack is actually force.
Thank you for your input on the matter. Your 0 input will be duly noted.
Exactly, Unklebonehead. I've watched steem/hive improve since day 1 in 2016 and I have seen people put up complaint posts here and there that get some attention, but there is a lot more to address here than just removing the DV button (Blurt, Whaleshares, et al).
I have 12 issues listed, all of which if tweaked could probably help Hive immensely. I love Hive and want it to succeed, not just because I have invested in it and launched apps on it, but because I genuinely still believe that it is the best chain for social media in existence... at the moment.
"But they are too afraid to voice their opinions for fear of down votes" - exactly, 100%. Imo, many users, even brand new users get treated like dirt here and that is why they leave...
If you enjoy "force" then by all means please continue voting for your leader, I'm sure he cares deeply for your welfare. /sarc
"Screaming? Crying? Complaining?" Yeah guys, I thought up 12 complaints. The Hive active userbase is not growing. If you do not want to see Hive grow, then leave. Sell me your Hive on the way out. I however,try to help out and put forth ideas, and effort, as the post states. I can't see how I could "force" anything on anyone here, nor would I want to. This is about sharing your ideas for helping Hive...
