Cheers! I think writing on here for all this time has helped me develop and meeting lots of people has given me confidence.
ridiculous made up rules
Aren't all rules 'made up'? The thing is that those who enforce such rules are a tiny minority of the Hive community, but they do have some voting power. We do need some enforcement of agreed standards such as not plagiarising or self-voting of junk content, but a lot of it is subjective.
I've been part of the 'Hive police' when I thought it needing doing. Some people get serious abuse for doing that. I just saw someone on another platform talk about a 'Satanist cabal' on Hive. Yeah, right. I'm more a fan of Santa.
Stay well.
Yes, I think some policing is necessary also. And as we said in the early days it was all an experiment anyway.
I just don't think, many working middle class people will have the time or the patience to go through the process of understanding the rules, so we have old timers and people who are hungry enough to put up with it remaining.
I'm curious to see how well Hive rebounds in the Bull Season.
