I have been on this blockchain for a long time. First, when it was Steemit; and then when it became Hive. I have done posts that were giveaways for a long time also. Every morning I would wake up with a purpose, a duty. I would spend the mornings resolving the giveaways and then making a new post. All was bright sunshine and everlasting joy.
Within the last year or so I have picked up a stalker. Someone who comes and dings my giveaways and my regular posts.
I can understand the giveaways , and have taken steps to make them less of a target (I burn my rewards). However, the stalker still comes to downvote my regular posts. I am lost and sometimes feel dejected. How can a person make a go on Hive if even the regular posts receive downvotes? The problem is the stalker “marks” me as spam, and then others come to pile on the downvotes. I do not spam, I try to be decent in my process. I feel lost and persecuted.
One might ask themselves “how do I continue on Hive with so much hate and persecution?” I think the answer is to buckle down and keep posting no matter the consequences. Maybe one day the stalkers will lost their passion for torment. I certainly hope that they do. In the meantime I shall try to make posts that don’t fall under the persecutor’s eye. I am hopeful I will triumph in the face of such odds.
