Just read up on your experience with Reddit... the behaviour of some people online beggars belief! Truly callous.
Concentrated Power 😒
Your story, while I would rather it never happened to you and your community at all, validates why decentralised and censorship-resistant platforms are needed for a human internet.
Not for prejudicial or conspiratorial nonsense — often the lens through which "alternative" platforms are viewed — but freedom and genuine ownership.
Your tenacity to carry on and rebuild the project here on Hive is admirable and inspiring. Truly, well done. I see nothing but positivity in your work. Of course, that's the intention, but it's wonderful nonetheless.
I'm something of an outsider, but I support this nascent project fully. Would you mind @-mentioning the community account here? I can assist in small ways.
Best wishes and happy days.
I greatly appreciate your support, as well as the understanding of why Hive has become an ideal platform for this type of project! I hope that it can sprout into a great initiative and be of benefit to many individuals, especially those in need of a boost, in ways that exceed the superficial approach that we may find on other social media platforms, yet in a responsible manner.
The community account is @hive-140084 (I sometimes post Threads from there too!).
👍
So this is strange... I just tried sending Ecency points to the community account name you gave and, everything seemed okay, 'transaction succeeded', but the points obstinately remain in my wallet. Tried a couple more times, then tried sending to @freecompliments. Same result...
¯\__(ツ)__/¯
90% of the time it's great, but on occasion I find Ecency a bit buggy. I'll try again later.
I greatly appreciate your donation! ♥️
I actually had the same issue yesterday, and ending up forwarding the same amount to the community account twice; I decided to keep it there. It took several hours for the transactions to actually go through. Thus, whatever amount(s) you've sent multiple times I'll send right back to you.
Oh well all right, at least it's not just me. That's something...
No that's cool, hang on to the full amount.
Well, in that case, you'll get a free Boost whenever you post something on FC, even without listing FC as a beneficiary. I think that's a fair deal. 😊
