It's still got that thing, huh? The bassline is killer.
Coincidences? Perhaps we're just waking up a bit more?
I wish we could be kinder to each other. I'll share some of my mistakes as I write around here. Only human. We shouldn't feel so awful about it. I haven't read the full explanation here but the bit I did read made sense. Numbers don't make much sense to me though.
Vibes. These make sense to me. And I trust that now.
CBT has a great perspective. It suggests we approach situations and people with the belief that nobody means to do harm.
Yes I do know some people aren't very healthy and do enjoy causing harm. But mostly... no. We don't. And I don't think harm was intended in this situation either. No way.
Mostly... people don't mean to cause harm. Sometimes we get triggered and we react without clarity. Only human. Who of us gets to judge anybody else? 🤔
Just this perspective can shift interactions so much.
Busy listening to this now... doubt I'll make it through without weeping a bit.
Gawdamned this song.
I love Hive btw. We need to get together and make this work please.
I have nowhere else
to goI'd rather be.This is the only community I've found who is courageous enough to address things and engage with the tough stuff. We may just need to work on some stuff. Which is to be expected since we're trying to figure out a new path. We will, however, need to hear each other to do that. They convicted Galilleo. Just saying. The majority isn't always "right". So tolerance and open-mindedness is the key.
Also. Marky's cool. I have no doubt that pisses some folks off as well. It's that pack thing again. We can figure this out 👍🏻
And by we I mean you. Because I'm old and tired.
Nope. I cried liddle bit. I hope Marky's okay. I'm worried about him tbh.
I've been there and it hurts 💔
I've already sent my apology for being an insensitive dick.
I'm going to lay low for a couple of days. All this activity has worn me down a bit. Catch you later alligator.

I think he'll be fine.
And yeah. This shit wears people out. It's always a lot of talking and politics that don't really go anywhere. Everyone has an answer though no questions were asked. Still, you're right, people do dig in and it's not always for nothing.
I'm trying to stay out of it. Casual observer at this point or I'll just become jaded.
Time off is always good.
It's never for nothing. It's how we learn and grow. By airing stuff, talking about it etc
It is painful and uncomfortable though. I think it brings stuff up for everyone personally and it's why we so often avoid it. But... it's really the only way to find common ground and a way we can work and stick together.
I've just been burning the midnight oil again as well. I need to slow the fuck down to a roar for a day or so. I get grumpy when I'm tired. Can you tell?
Sure, these situations make people vulnerable. Fights and arguments never really have a winner or loser unless you're watching a prize fight or a movie. Always boils down to two opposing forces fighting their way out of the one thing they have in common: the situation they find themselves in.
It's an opportunity to build character.
It's their show though. Their ring. I don't feel like paying for a seat.
I prefer to say conversations.
If we can set ourselves aside a bit more they would be conversations.
Thing is... when conflict enters the equation people's old wounds can be touched and then things become complicated.
Denial. Projection. Very difficult to navigate.
Or detachment. Aversion. Craving. We practice not getting stuck into these and it's far simpler to negotiate, understand each other and compromise.
It's quite amazing how often we have the same goals anyway. Just different approaches to achieving them!
I'm busy making some joy. I hope.
So I was thinking (and sometimes this is a good thing and sometimes this isn't a good thing :D )
Why not have a front end that doesn't show votes or earnings??
This might help us remember how to be individuals and not follow the pack. It'd also encourage authenticity because people won't simply vomit up stuff they know will be acceptable and upvoted.
And they won't avoid having the hard conversations that get ignored mostly.
See?
Authentic free speech because human ego is removed 👌🏻
Send thoughts :)
[Edited] They still earn but a lump sum once a month or fortnite so they don't know what posts earned and what didn't. Truth and authenticity. But can see downvotes so content can be monitored by the community.
Nothing is stopping anyone from building that. However, you can't tell all these other frontends to become that. You'd need your own token for that payment system to work.
Here's an example of a frontend on Hive that doesn't display downvotes or use downvotes for its token, and ditched the rep system.

Can even see my post still "trending" there.
I know that :) I'm all into personal sovereignty y'know! Honest!
Have a post pending on just this topic :D
Thanks for the heads up. Keen to visit and try!
