RE: What the fuck do witnesses do?

in #hive4 days ago
  1. Shutting down is different than responding
  2. Maybe you should dig deeper to see where our main HP account does its witness voting
  3. You quit the discord after dropping a few one-way messages with no intent to discuss

It’s frankly the behavior I was talking about in the original content that started all this. Why everyone is so afraid of actual constructive criticism, I’ll never understand

You’re not one of the witnesses I’ve called out (and by the way, the original content didn’t call anyone out by name. Certain people - probably rightly - took offense to it). I actually feel you’ve done a lot for the chain and respect what you’ve done.

But are we seriously going to sit around and say that all top 20 witnesses deserve those spots? Are all 20 of them doing enough for hive to get paid and be in consensus?

Let’s be honest about that. That’s all I did. The backlash that’s come up since that video is WILD to see.

Sort:  
  1. The only response I remember was you trying to silence me when I gave context to your call to unvote the witnesses that called you out for failing at witnessing.

  2. Maybe you should proxy your votes to the other account instead of wasting it on disabled witnesses.

  3. I would have engaged if you had given an actual response (eg: "We'll disable our witness now, oops!") instead of just trying to shut me up. I'm sick with a fever and impatient af so I just bailed rather then get sucked into a pointless argument likely to end in a discord ban anyway.

I'm making no argument for or against the t20, and until you fix your own shit you shouldn't be either.

It’s worth watching the original content that started all this

In it, a mere “I wish some of the top 20 were doing more for hive” was said

Some have taken that to create all this drama

Drama is a waste of time. I merely have said more people - especially in leadership positions - should do more for hive.

If anyone has an argument to say that that statement is a bad one to make, then they are likely the ones being spoken about.

I had no problem with that statement, or the video. For me its purely about a failing witness missing blocks and potentially causing network instability, spending their time calling for other people to be unvoted instead of just fixing the problem people are complaining about. Everything else is irrelevant imo.

I'm more active then people think, I observe a lot without engaging. I don't need anymore drama in my life. To focus on this feels like a distraction from the actual issue everyone else is trying to discuss with you. I see the witness is disabled now so I can move on.

Nobody creates as much drama as people who claim to hate drama.
