There's probably only really a few projects on the chain that are pro decentralization.
Seems like most of the people here and content posted now is just fluff stuff easily found on other social media platforms.
@informationwar has been doing its thing for like 4 years now in our #informationwar tag and #deepdives is going to release a token soon for this kind of thing. We teamed up with @v4vapid to get better support out to all the people who are continually archiving important imformation.
EVEN IF all the posts in IW/DD or similar communities are taken down to 0 rewards, at least the information is still there. I'm a glass half full kinda guy haha! But in all seriousness, we are going to continue to try and grow our support. Hive price going higher will certainly help that, now our upvotes are worth more $ so we can upvote 50 people now and give out the same rewards in $ as we could last month and only do 25 people.
Gotta keep fighting and pushing forward and we aren't going away!
Nice! I love what Leo and POB is doing. Their content is seo optimized it seems and hive blockchain rewards are not included on their front end from what I can tell. Supposedly the one of the main selling points of the speak network was to be able to by pass the DV system and curate content more dynamically but the response left here by Dan on this thread was disheartening and tone deaf I feel.
Glad to see V4vapid more active (or at least not on a autovoter like I suspected initially) and that tokenized solutions are finally happening for the activist/anti-centralization communities like information war and Deepdives.
We all manually curate, but follow eachother upvotes on the hive.vote curation trial of informationwar or deepdives.
Following either one of those helps us reward posts in #informationwar #deepdives #politics #news etc.
I joined forces with him to better reward the communities.
If you like what @informationwar is doing it would be awesome if you delegated some HP to our cause , follow the curation trail on hive.vote or if you like manually upvoting stuff browse through and find stuff you like in our tags/communities :)
We will take all the support we can get, trying to onboard larger names in the social media world also via our reachout on twitter/youtube.
My experience with the activist community recently was extremely disheartening with how I saw the egregious and hostile attacks by witnesses and large stake holders in both deep dives and information while engaging daily on content in the communities not to mention lack of support and attacks from within the community that was reported to the FBI and caused unnecessary police presence in my neighborhood and helicopters over my house for days.
I really got 0 to minimal support from the community with the exception of @kennysgaminglife who has always, when push came to shove, supported these communities and myself. So I can not complain too much. It is just if community members wont support my content and make threats of violence on me while hivewatchers sits by, laughs and DMs me to say stop upvoting comments, we condone threats of violence with our silence but not upvoting comments so watch out.
So I am not excited about these communities on HIVE that should be better supportted in a decentralized crypto space. But plutocracy has soured the experienced.
I will consider delegating HP to your cause but the downvotes and lack of witness support and silence for these hostile attacks in our communities of Truth really impacts my mental health negatively.
Chasing high APRs, curating artists and posting about tokens has helped me better use HIVE.
I didnt spend 5g on Hive power delegation to curate content just to be dissed and ignored by the entire community or have the content I curated flagged to 0 causing unneeded financial stress.
