I'm going to bring some of my YouTube and Discord audience over - when I feel confident about onboarding them. I've got a lot of creatives who produce their own artwork - I'm wary of a self appointed lynch mob - or some sort of neo-inquisition trying to badger them into proving their identities.
Hive does have to an ongoing source of growth to remain viable. It doesn't have to be exponential certainly, but it does need a periodic infusion of new people. There is already a large enough hurdle coming from the model of Web2 Social Media, just the mechanics of Hive are daunting to some - they don't need to be met with an "un-welcoming" committee.
Agree with this @alohaed
And truth be told I was writing to you about your experience and was surprised to get a response via @hivewatchers
I’m glad they responded though.
As I think it would not be hard at all to remove the ‘unwelcome committee’ energetic.
There are many dodgy accounts and @hivewatcher is engaged in worthy work.
I’m into win win scenarios, and it feels very possible to both continue this needed work of catching abusers on chain, while also aiding legit accounts to understand correct etiquette and be inspired by the purpose of @hivewatcher
