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

in Proof of Brain3 years ago

Well done @ura-soul you have really said a lot.

The idea of Proof of Brain is that the community subjectively values ideas so that the subjectively 'best' ideas are rewarded. So the posts at the top of trending are theoretically those which the community's stake holders most value.

I believe that if a post didn't interest a curator in a way he/she deems fit, the best way is to avoid such post entirely instead of downvoting it because you disagree or dislike it.
Even though upvote and downvoting exists as a way to balance the activities here on hive I still think we should do that in a reasonable way and not to abuse such previleges.

Talking of the fact that trending post are posts which community stakeholders value more, there are many contents which do not even worth the curation it's getting and there are others that worth it but is not valued - I think something is missing here and we all need to address it.

There is a huge gap in perception between people on this planet in many important ways. This is a large part of what we see in the voting patterns on Hive. My suggestion is for like minded people to come together more to provide supportive environments for those of like mind.

Your suggestions is good, but how do we tackle it considering the amount of hivers here.

One option is to create 'layer 2' tokens on Hive, such as the 'proof of brain' token or the splinterlands tokens - which will enable only holders of the tokens to participate in the rewards pool for that token and the community can have it's own website too. Other than that, there is always a more brute force approach of activating the wider hive community to just use the downvote/upvote tools in the standard hive system to make sure voting is not abused.
