There are people who care for new accounts (after hf20 fiasco) actually. I started offering a little delegation (as i dont have much on my wallet) here and there for newbies, so they can at least post once per day. Hf20 sucked but we survived, many did power down, left, and bitched as you said, but many also stayed, and many new ones signed up.
What am not looking forward is the downvote problem which hf21 hopefully can tame it down, but can it, really?
There are people who truly use their high sp for weird shit. We leave a comment, we get downvoted. And the comment itself actually has nothing to do with anything bad, but that the original post one commented was using bidbot. That is scarying newbies who know nothing. It even scared me 🤣
It will be interesting to see hf21 and the aftermath.
I am traveling in 2 weeks, if the date is set during my travels, my witness server will be a little late to the party, god dammitt, lol
I thought about delegating but then decided against it due to the fact so many show up, post a couple times, then vanish. I'm not able to find time to always be checking in. I know people care but that's often drowned out by all of the noise by those in a panic. The panic is also contagious and makes it difficult for people to commence rationalized thought processing again. It becomes unfashionable to say the right thing especially when your peers are flying off the handle.
Downvote problem? Youtube videos have thousands of downvotes. I was once downvoted by that freedom account, twice actually, way back when I started. Probably one of the best things that ever happened to me. I wrote a profanity piece. It was meant to humorous, and many laughed. That helped get me noticed around here. The flags gave me a reason to write about the freedom of the arts. I felt like I was being censored or punished for doing something that can sell out entire theaters, under different circumstances. I couldn't figure out why someone wouldn't want that here. I didn't throw a tantrum though. I just gave me something to talk about and people ended up enjoying what I had to say about that as well.
Yes, i understand and agree to what you are saying.
I wish to say more on the downvotes, but its 2.31 am here. This momma has to wake up in a couple of hours 😳 wish this was summer break already, so no school, and i get to comment more lol
Have a great Thursday! - hope tis not windy where you at. Bloody windy here, trampolines gonna fly away soon, yikes.
