Another person I came across today for the first time was @swaycanete when I read her article How did I know? about her journey of discovery through transgenderism. It was heartfelt and authentic and I have started following her as a result. Upvoted her post, commented ❗ and curated the comments, although I appreciate from Wil's input that the curation of these comments falls outside of comet week parameters as the post is older than 7 days. I wanted to upvote all of the positive comments of support as I felt the outpouring of love was something that deserved recognition. I have upvoted in the order in which I liked the comments (all at 100% voting power). I also wanted to relegate the spammer comment to the bottom of the pile, bar my own comment lol. Sadly this particular scam comment seems to be appearing on almost every post I view these days :-(

Hi Sam!
Just checking in here!
Thank you so much for wanting to highlight people being authentic and genuine about themselves. All to often it is easier for people to hide who they are and keep it all on the inside... Acceptance isn't common let alone unconditional acceptance so it also takes real bravery to do what @swaycanete did in her post. This is the sort of courage that can only be respected.
Now here's the thing... I love that you wanted to rankUP the comments that were supportive and positive however because the most of the comments were outside the 7 day payout any UPvotes registered to the individual comments wouldn't have an actual effect on their rank.
If you would like to switchUP the "🔺" UPrank emoji to the "❗️" Impact emoji you would definitely qualify for that mission category!
Ultimately!
Thank you for taking the time to highlight this post even though it's past it's payout period of 7 days!
All to often posts older than 7 days are all but forgotten and that's a real shame as I believe they have value in and of themselves way past the Hive payout period. The content is still relevant and the comments are still living and active!
Kudos to you for looking for something that had evergreen quality to it! 👏
Ok! Let me know when you have had the chance to switchUP the red emoji and I'll be back here with @Comet.Ranker to award you the Impact badge and reward you with a Comet Point for that mission category! 🙂
@wil.metcalfe
Thanks Wil. I have just changed out the emoji. I just loved the post and the support shown in the comments and am still really happy to have curated them :-) I do like to read older posts too; I completely agree that they don't lose their relevance or intrinsic value just because they can't issue rewards anymore. I am sure I will come across more posts with comments worthy of upvote that fall within the comet week parameters :-)
You know... that says so much about you. You and I value social capital before financial capital and that's why we are willing to look for other sorts of value outside the financial parameters. Thank you for being this sort of person! This blockchain really needs more people who think and act in this way.
You know...
One of the other reasons I LOVE COMMENTS is because it can be a new wellspring of value... an evergreen source! If you read and then comment on an older post... That comment can then cascade informational value and even a new amount of financial value as well! You have, with 1 comment, brought that older post back to the surface where it can both be seen and valued once again!
It's a win for everyone so honestly!!! Thank you for doing this! ☄️
We were so impressed that you would take the time to renew value and support the older work that authors here on Hive created! THIS is what social capital is all about as a value set. And many people tend to miss this as they are obsessed with the 7 day bleeding edge content here on the Blockchain! When there's just sooooooo much value that could be unlocked with a single comment to a post outside the 7 day payout. This is a virtuous circle... if we want it to be!
Keep on bringing appreciation to the comments like your doing! 👍
For a friendlier and even more fun Hive,
the Comet Crew ☄️
