Harmful content should be down voted. Spam (as agreed upon by the community) should be down voted. Plagiarism should be down voted. But before it’s blindside downvoted… it should, obviously, be brought in a structure and methodical well laid out and transparent way for the COMMUNITY to decide. Any other ways trades one abuse for another.
I have seriously given this plenty of thought… accusations of this nature from people who don’t know me, hide behind anonymous accounts, jumping to assumptions, levying labels, and spreading lies… does little to encourage any sort of trust and mass adoption from high value accounts.
A coded DV structure that’s not fully thought through and developed only detracts away and spreads disfunction where it doesn’t need to be. Instead of BUIDLing we are busy fighting ourselves.
That’s energy miss-spent.
I have told you clearly my point of view and why it is that I am of this mind.
My people will respect my honesty…
I don’t care what anyone else thinks about me… so long as I continue to speak truth and compound trust… that’s what matters to me.
Social Capital always proceeds Financial Capital.
That’s my value set.
And those who know me and have been my audience for the past 4 years… those people know what I’m talking about and why I’m talking about it.
Conform to a consensus on how downvotes should be used? Sounds like centralized opinions on how things should be done. The same demons you try to purge.
What it does is it bring every owner that cares about Hive and it’s future together. Rather than a few in a closed group deciding what constitutes the required DV it brings everyone together and scales the solution at the base layer. You can’t scale a centralize solution. If you attempt to it only ends up excentuating human failings. If we bring everyone together we send a clear message against spammers, plagiarists, and people creating harmful content… that we as a community are willing to collectively (our strongest position) defend our freedoms. We are all responsible for this and the more people we can get to pare their ownership freedom with the responsibility required to adequately protect AND market the blockchain the sooner we can all stop fighting ourselves and continue building better ways to human TOGETHER!
Do you see the vision?
I just see this voting activity done by comet wanker. Do your delegators even know youre using the account to vote on your own comments?
Go check. I explained why those DV’s happened. Have a good day and I hope that calm and clarity are a part of your day. 🙏
