@jacobtothe and others involved,
First, we want to thank you for taking the time to engage in this discussion. While there are clearly strong feelings on both sides, we believe we share a common goal: improving Hive as a platform and fostering a fairer, more transparent community.
You mentioned that some of what we’ve raised may be "irrelevant." However, from our perspective, exposing scams, farms, and patterns of abuse is highly relevant because these issues undermine trust and equity within the ecosystem. If we don’t address them openly, they will continue to harm users and discourage participation. That said, if you feel certain points are being overstated or misdirected, we are open to hearing your perspective and clarifying further.
We’ve never claimed to be perfect—no one is—but our intent has always been to contribute positively to Hive. We’re not motivated by money; instead, we’ve worked to highlight problems so that solutions can emerge. For example, the evidence we’ve gathered on downvote abuse and reward manipulation was shared with the hope of sparking meaningful change. Unfortunately, it sometimes feels like these efforts are met with resistance rather than collaboration.
Regarding accusations of misbehavior, we understand why emotions run high when discussing sensitive topics like this. But instead of trading blame, let’s focus on how we can move forward together. If there are specific actions or behaviors of ours that concern you, please outline them clearly, and we’ll address them directly. Similarly, we’d appreciate it if you stopped the “bad downvotes” and verbal abuse, as this would help us move forward.
Ultimately, we believe Hive’s strength lies in its decentralization and community-driven ethos. If given the opportunity, we’d welcome the chance to demonstrate how curation can be done more fairly and inclusively—not just for a select few but for everyone contributing value.
Let’s set aside the back-and-forth and work toward solutions. If you’re willing, we'd love to discuss practical steps we can take together to improve fairness and accountability on Hive.
Looking forward to your thoughts.
Best regards,
The Bilpcoin team
We've discussed practical steps. You need to end your comment spam campaign. You refuse, and demand others accommodate your obsession instead.
BTW, transactions indeed do not lie, including the editing history on comments.
You play the victim, but you are the belligerent party. Peace can return when you alter your behavior.
