I just want to make sure I understand, @themarkymark -- you are PERSONALLY downvoting to counter? That would mean that you are PERSONALLY making it so good quality Hivers and NEW Hivers who are trying to get started are being zeroed out.
I understand that Xeldal and Enki abuse their power on you as well. I saw what they did to your April Fool's post, and many, many others. A $42 DV, in a bear market, is a big deal... but Mark ... Hive needs to grow and be adopted. We need quality posters. We need New Hivers to be able to get established. It takes a TRULY BIG WHALE, and a TRULY BIG HUMAN to not pass on abuse down the line. I'm asking you to find the bigness in yourself, Mark. @deraaa and the New Hivers need to be able to be here and do their work in peace. I'm a veteran with good support overall, and established, and I know what is going on, so I have not complained -- but @deraaa and the New Hivers need peace.
Literally, because I have now put out 20 editions of Things Ms. Dee Likes, I see New Hivers getting DVed AND I see the beginning of a slowdown and the lowering of Hive's retention rate. Think of all you have invested in Hive's success, Mark. Think about if Xeldal and Enki are worth you using your power to upend all that. Hive has too many people out there talking against it as it is. Think, Mark -- you don't need to be made the reason Hive's adoption is slowed. You don't need to be made the scapegoat for that. The power is in your hands. I'm asking you to care... not for my sake, because I would not have complained on my own behalf. I'm asking you for @deraaa, New Hivers, and HIVE ITSELF.
