Thanks for voicing your opinion Joe. The idea of @Comet.Ranker was brought about as a constructive response to things that were happening on the blockchain that ultimately would/will (in my opinion) bring it down. We need a friendly welcoming Hive if we are to succeed... this can’t happen by ignoring the unfriendliness... the point here is... to counter unfriendliness with friendliness. And that can’t happen if we don’t take note of the things happening around us. This social environment has degraded a lot since its inception... to the point where I have actually had to personally and professionally put a lot of my #BUIDL activities (fitness business) on hold so that I can cleanUP the glass that’s been broken first.
I love Hive and it truly is my home. My 2 daughters and my wife have accounts here... and so above all else a friendlier Hive is my top priority... and that is what I’m working towards in everything I do with @Comet.Ranker.
I don’t expect you to trust me immediately... but I hope that in time you will see the wisdom in my words and why it is that I have decided to highlight both the good and the bad on the blockchain.
And please keep in mind... I really do believe that with the right people... we can turn bad situations into good ones... if we don’t take a serious look at what is happening though... we miss out on that opportunity completely.
@wil.metcalfe I hear you and I believe in what you are doing personally. My fear is that comet.ranker, and by default the accounts who are connected to it, will be targeted. I am not concerned about myself. I am more concerned about the people I post about here for missions. I fear them getting downvoted by some asshat just because they are mentioned on the @comet.ranker account. All because it was used to like this.
I have to think on this. After my strokes, I have purposely been working on pursuing a stress-free lifestyle. Social media is something I darn near have cut completely out of my daily diet with exception of what I use for business. Hive is the only social platform I use for personal interaction anymore.
I will have to put some thought into this. Know though that I support what you are saying and have already made my thoughts known about the current argument on plagiarism on Jay's post.
