RE: Follow Friday - Hivetacular

in #hive4 years ago
  1. There have been various people and I'm not naming anyone. Some want more of an argument than a debate. 'Keyboard warriors' with time on their hands? We know there are plenty of 'trolls' out there. I can pick who I want to talk to. Ultimately I am here for fun and enjoyment, not to get stressed out.
  2. My interests are largely around creative people earning from their work, e.g. music and comics. But Hive can be for anyone who wants to put stuff out publicly. Politics is not really my focus, but I will get involved in issues I care about. Recruiting people is hard though. Not all of them get what Hive is and the money may not be enough to tempt them away from platforms where they can have thousands of followers.
  3. If DBuzz can be neutral then that's great. I know some people are less keen on short-form content, but I think there is a case for it being on Hive. Not everyone wants to write or read long blogs.
Sort:  
  1. Yeah, I agree. I'm not really good at arguing or debates. I enjoy discussions, like the ones you and I are having now, much more.

  2. Since you and I have different worldviews, it would be great for you to give me feedback about how to onboard people w/your views.

most definitely be neutral, since that is our actual mission statement.Yeah @steevc, @dbuzz will

If you find websites, video platforms, from people who align w/your views, let them know we can integrate them

Posted via D.Buzz

Examples of Integrations:

  1. Video embeds.
  2. Website previews.

And you can openly tell people you want to onboard, that @dbuzz can add features & integrations they want.

The only features we won't add include features that

  • Ruin our UI/UX.
  • Would remove our neutral stance.

Embedding media needs to be simple. It works for Youtube and Twitter at least.

I've brought a few people onboard, but some never did anything and I'm not going to nag them. I don't have a wide influence on other platforms and a fairly small circle of friends, so there is only so much I can do. We need to reach some critical mass where it's interesting to those with content to 'sell'. We need to find pioneers who will take a chance on it. Should support those already here who have great content. Crypto and politics may have a more limited audience.

We have about 15+ video embeds that already work on https://d.buzz but:

  • Some of them have bugs.
  • Some of the link formats for some of them don't yet work.

Lastly, we have a list of 28 video/sound embeds, and we want all to work, perfectly, within 30 days.

Well I hope there is some collaboration with other dapps on this. I tend to use peakd, as do many Hivers.

Yeah, we plan on open sourcing everything, completely, within 1 year (or less).

Posted via D.Buzz

Btw, what do you think of our long-form front-end?

It's under construction.

Posted via D.Buzz

Doesn't look too bad. As a mainly desktop user I like to see more of my screen used. On peakd I can see more post summaries at once depending on the mode I use. Just my preference. I know UI design is hard, which is why I try to avoid doing it as a developer.

Are you a software developer?

P.S.

  • Crypto users are the low hanging fruit.



  • Posted via D.BuzzThe battle for #FreeSpeech, over centralized top down control, will likely be the most covered topic on Web3 in the years ahead 👍

I am familiar with a lot of the right-leaning social media sites, like #Parler, #Gab and to some extent, #Bitchute.

  • But I have not yet heard of left leaning sites like that.



Posted via D.BuzzIf you know of any, I am eager to get them integrated into #DBuzz.

I don't go seeking out political stuff generally, but I can find some on Facebook. I'm not on any specifically political platforms. I'm more into environment activism generally. Lefty stuff may be less likely to get banned, but then I am not involved with things like 'antifa' who may use violent action. That's not my thing, but I have had contact with XR people whose methods I feel more empathy with.

Just wondering why you do so many comments, but is that a limit of dbuzz? Short form can be limiting for in-depth discussion. Makes for convoluted threading.

I am no expert on social media, just an enthusiastic user.

  1. Have you ever considered buying property and living off the land itself?

  2. What is "XR"?

  3. Yeah, my multiple comments is due to the 280 character cap limit, but we'll be improving things, to make communication easier 👍

    Posted via D.Buzz

  1. I work better with my brain, but I do what I can to live a sustainable life.
  2. XR = Extinction Rebellion
  3. Some people may not realise that the original Twitter limit was due to them using SMS to tweet. Arbitrary limits can be a handicap.
  1. Ahh, me too. But part of our team is preparing to move to a property like that, which will include not #DBuzz team members to do the planting, farming, harvesting, etc.

  2. Are XR people against lockdowns?

  3. Ah okay, I actually prefer it though, since it's easy to read.

    Posted via D.Buzz

Not sure XR has a policy on lockdowns. The planet has bigger problems than whether you can go in a pub. There's a lot of crap talked about the reasons behind them by people who know little about disease transmission, but pretend they do.

IMO this is one of the best videos about lockdowns / #Covid19.

The speaker is a:

  1. Doctor.
  2. Lawyer.
  3. Daughter of a Holocast survivor.

And she is part of the legao team filing lawsuits against anti-scientific lockdowns 👍
