I agree with (some) of the points too, I was all over the neteuso thing because I also noticed the proposal system could easily be abused and he was clearly taking advantage of it...
However, people hardly accomplish anything when you make it us versus them. Honestly, who cares what others political opinions are, trust me you won't change them. Who cares about politics when it comes to improving Hive if that's what you genuinely want. I'd like to see change in Hive too, but diplomacy is important.
I thought of the same thing re: all the auditions from the producers of cuties, it is sickening! If someone thinks that movie is ok it's not your job to convince them but you can share you opinion openly. Maybe they'll change their mind on their own when they know the facts. A lot of left leaning people don't do their research because of the us versus them mentality. They've probably never watched Fox News or any right leaning youtube channel out of spite, so it's very well the case those people are ignorant.
I don't like to see downvotes used for political opinions and I do think it would be fair to ask the question openly especially if the downvote was because of an opinion. "Hey gtg, why did you downvote this, it's all over the news and a lot of people think this movie is pedophilia" I think downvoting should be strictly used for plagiarism and maybe a few other things but not political opinions.
Or "Hey, how about you actually read the reason of downvote that I clearly stated and it wasn't about that post or even its content." (btw, that's the point, there was no content in posts there were just external links)
That was a very poor choice to make. lol. To pull a trigger on a anti-pedo post. Nice attempt at a save though with the comments and multiple downvotes later.
I just checked the block explorer and every single downvote and comment you made came AFTER Acidyo criticized the post for, as he puts it, "not talking about the context of sexually exploiting children."
I scrolled back 3 weeks and it seems this is the first time you even interacted with that particular account.
Then you proceed to downvote a bunch of pressfortruth other posts as well which i found funny. Nope, you didnt back down, you owned it! lol
Id go ahead and guess,(just a guess) that you ran into acidyos comments and since you recognized his name you assumed that what he was saying was a correct stance so you proceeded to downvote.
Nope, i gotta tell you. It was really fucking stupid.
I've actually never downvoted anything, but my criticism to the pedo post is that it should not have been tagged with Leofinance. I get Leo is hot to receive additional rewards and it's hard to pass up the tag (especially if you have auto-votes from Leo users)... I've accidentally posted into Leo twice or so admittedly. I'd like to personally see more appropriate tribe use for those having a niche, because not all do... All you have to do thou is put a financy spin on it!
In my opinion though the actual post has plenty of personal opinion in it... it takes advantage of what's hot in the news , but I see a lot of Hive users do that... As my posts do better I try to cite images, news articles etc. I think that would help with your posts Lord...
re: press for truth - I kind of see gtg's point mainly because he seems like a platform whore, what platform doesn't he crosspost on!? I think his videos are fine but his dedication to hive awareness through the use of other platforms is not, I never see him mentioning them. This is definitely a grey area though
I was responding to gtg. Not sure why it pinged you.
None of that matters. Thats not even what i called them out for. The "platform whore" argument hes making is just a deflection to hide the fact that the anti-pedo post was the first one on which he even interacted with the author.
Why do you think that's the case? I don't know about gtg but I've been for a while downvoting these platform whores with barely any other activity on Hive than linking their shit content that exists on 20+ other sites and getting autovotes to trending even though barely anyone gives a shit about their content here to even comment once even after hours of trending. Funniest part is they retaliate so hard it's like they're making it obvious they're trading in their votes for promotion money offchain.
Please keep downvoting platform whores, btw did I just coin that term? I've changed my mind and I think that's an appropriate use of downvotes (for now). Also, for the record: I don't think you're a pedo defender or gtg, just want to clarify and why I used general terms "their" referring to the fact that the movie has become politicized, I don't know why. I've actually never seen the movie either.
I think acidyo is actually one of the more honorable Hive witnesses, and I agree with his complaints about auto-votes. I have no opinion of gtg.
Just want to publicly state that since I involved myself a bit here :)
I dont care about that guy. Im talking about what you said about the movie, i dont care about any other topic.
