Personally, I'm just sitting back and watching for me most part. I used to.. just downvote a lot of 'truth' and 'conspiracy' stuff but now I just don't bother.
Because in the end.. It's up to the individual to actually have a brain and make up their own mind.. I'm of the firm belief that a lot of people will just be moronic nutcases in my eyes but hey. that's their choice and their life.
I'd probably be able to counter a lot of the conspiracy stuff like debate wise.. If I felt it was worth my time, but I don't so meh.
I will say that if people want to downvote because they disagree with something then that's fine. Just like if people want to self vote.. that's fine.
Basically.. what I'm saying is. if the hive software allows it then it's ok. (except plagiarism and you know theft and all that) With that in mind zeroing post that are CLEAR Abuse, spam, plagiarism or reward pool farming. it's K
The distribution of tokens is still... Very bad. These massive pools of HP used for political reasons or otherwise is.. It sends a message, it has reputational consequences, it effects the way people feel and perceive hive. So the people in control of those account need to think very carefully about how and when they downvote. Ofcourse.. they are also free to do as they please because that is HIVE.. you do what you like. the software allows it, it doesn't care what you downvote.
It's just the people who care. if they care. Some do, some don't, some just ignore it.
I donno.. It's messy imo.
My personal view on downvotes is it should only be used to null stolen content, plagiarism, spam/reward farming.

I have found over decades of looking into denied topics (that lazy thinkers try to write off as 'conspiracy theory') that when the details really emerge and logic is applied, there are a very large number of topics which are clearly provable through the weight of the evidence to be legitimate and deeply concerning issues that are being completely denied by corrupt establishments and vested interests. The idea that the world's richest people and governments are 'perfect angels' is absurd and history shows us over and over again that these people tend to be involved with extreme evil that is of a level that most people's mental filters aren't calibrated to assess and accept. Cognitive dissonance is king for many people at present.
That being said, there are many claims of wrongdoing that are nonsense - so it is relatively easy to disprove them.
Most economic oriented projects reflect the core imbalance that we have inherited on this planet and stake will tend to be used to try to manipulate public perception. Key for humanity is to understand this and to think/act wisely in response.
That is a very healthy way of dealing with differences in opinion. I really like your attitude. It is tough to reach the hand to somebody (or let them keep doing what their doing), when you think that person is believing in nonsense. We would live in a way better world if all of us would behave like that and the need for conspiracies and debunks would probably evaporate into nothingness.
Do you consider questioning the efficacy of the covid-19 vaccine to be conspiracy or practicing informed consent?
It's practicing informed consent, I've personally seen enough data to come to the conclusion that the vaccine is effective enough to warrant getting.
I have done a lot of drugs in my life that are hard on my heart, I can't risk the heart inflammation that comes with the Pfizer or Moderna shot.
When I post about myocarditis is when I have been flagged, even though u have the Japanese Health Minister as a source for that claim.
Yeah, The NHS also forgot to inform my dad of that as well, he has a heart condition, Thank fully he had no side effects from the vaccine and getting covid is far worse for him than the side effects of the vaccine.
EDIT: iirc actually he had the astra-zenica one.
He got covid and was bedridden for a week, this was also back when we didn't know or rather the news never told use about how covid can inflame the heart as well.
Generally the distribution of information from governments has been pretty terrible and inconsistent throughout the pandemic.
I appreciate that some people will for some reason think I am lying here, but I genuinely know many more people who have been paralised or died from the shots than have even been mildly ill with COVID19. Even I am surprised because I don't go looking for these people - so if it's true for me then I don't see how it's not true for a lot of other people. Granted, I stay away from large groups of people anyway - so the people I know mostly do too.. but still. I know of about 5 people who have been sick with COVID19 and I know of nearly 10 personal friends of friends or relatives who were seriously ill or died from the shots (as in immediately or within hours).
The gov stats (as far as can be ascertained, considering the inaccuracy of the data collection) confirm this in a few likely ways, which my readers will know - but if you only go as far as believing what you are told in the mainstream, then you will think I am making this up.
I did my own open vaers search, even the censored results I got, that are 10% estimated of the real numbers, were enough to stop the use of any other vaccine in history.
25 deaths was the highest deaths allowed from any vaccine in history to my knowledge from the H1N1 vaccine in 2014-2015.
The estimated under-reporting of VAERS that comes from the only study ever publicly published that I am aware of is actually 100 times, so only 1% are reported. The actual figure is unclear, but may be somewhere between 1% and 3%. Other vaccines have likely killed more than 25 people, but this is obscured in every way possible by the vested interests. The H1N1 vaccine is logged to have killed around 25 iirc, yes - it was pulled by the same German expert that is currently working with the German legal firm that has been interviewing hundreds of experts during COVID19 and has concluded that there is a massive criminal agenda at play among the various entities developing/marketing the COVID19 shots:
A family friend, hasn't been able to walk since the age of 10 or 13, having constant surgeries for any hope of using his legs again. This was a reaction, unique to him (only 3 to 5 other kids had a reaction that bad) it was a normal vaccine that many of us have, even my self.
After this story has been explained to me 100s of times, the family has questions that 5 doctors declined to answer. To this day the kid doesnt know what he cant walk. It seriously fucks me up inside when I think about him trying to live a normal life, and with no answers from 5 doctors all of whom will NOT for any reason even consider the vaccine. 1 of the 5 doctors told them they will be honest, they will loose their license to practice if they so much as question the efficacy of ANY vaccine NOT JUST THE COVID vaccine.
This is a systemic problem and the public should be cautiously critical to the point of not hampering the science.
My personal reason for heart conditions is playing into this phenomenon that can only be explained by bureaucratic red tape and greed. I actually think vaccines are very interesting like the polio vaccine, yet at the same time want to make sure there is accountability for those who are making these injections.
Just like a street drug dealer is charged with man slaughter for his drugs giving a heart attack, I feel a doctor who administered the vaccine in his clinic should be accountable for that manslaughter if someone has a heart attack. At the end of the day, its your doctors responsibility to inform you, not the media.
