RE: When Is a Censor Not A Censor? The Wider Implication of Downvote/Cancel Culture on Hive.

in Proof of Brain3 years ago

My comment had nothing to do with my earnings. I find it totally normal that newbies get little rewards the time that they find their way through and start staking, delagating, witnessing etc. My comment of getting that fb feeling comes from my own experience of being born and bred American then moving away for half of my life and living where people still have a "life" which is not on the net. Then seeing my cousins as well as old friends back home retrograde back into the immaturity of high school because fb is a popularity contest that gives popular people the power to crush the not-so-popular and control what they might not be able to control in real life. I see that refound immaturity here and that is what I find very sad. I can't stand control freaks which is better iterated in French who use the word "maniaque". This word comes from the word manic which is used to describe the manic phase in bipolar disorder. Maniaque all by itself means a clean freak. A control freak is a maniaque de contrôle. French women are control freaks but more in real life because they've never had much power. In the U.S. people have become internet maniaques because they no longer have the social life they had before the internet 30 plus years ago. And downvoting is part of that tendancy.
