Hive is a platform with communities it is not a community 15-02-26

Yesterday we had a bit of sun even though it started raining later in the evening the day was nice and me and the wife took the grand kids to the park as we were looking after them.
We had a lot of fun.




One of the things me and Eva the eldest of the two grand children like to do is sit on our thinking rock.

I don't know what she is thinking about but it seems deep and important.

Me i am thinking how broken and divided Hive has become since i joined a few years ago.
A decentralized community platform with an eco-system seemed like a great idea as the price hit $3.50 and over at one point.
But overtime usurpers claiming to be righteous in their activities protecting Hive fighting abusers and spammers on Hive have now just become the abusers.
Using the downvoting system on Hive as a way to bully people off the platform, destroying communities and projects they had no hand in creating or building with fake agenda's.
These people will always have reasons and excuses for abusing others but it is just that abuse.
Hive has become centralized in the fact that because the downvoting is being used as a financial attacking tool because it is all just about how much power you have.
The problem with this is absolute power corrupts absolutely and most people are not equipped to deal with it and most times they end up abusing others out of hate, fear and because they are deep down evil in their character.
They are able to keep this up because other people in power are complicit in the abuse because they do not want to be in the line of fire.
To keep their standing they will turn a blind eye to the odd abuses of certain individuals, projects and communities as long as they get to keep their standing.
Yes i am talking to you whales of Hive not that any of you will take notice of this post or the abuses happening with your heads so far up your ass
Everyone can claim there is nothing they can do, it is a decentralized platform, no one has control, but this is a total cop out.
Downvoting people with no constructive criticism or giving them a chance to improve is not looking after the Hive platform interests it is just abuse.
The accounts that do these downvoting activities are normally just alt accounts created by people like this small cock energy witness.
At the beginning of the year he was number 6 glad to see he is falling all the way to 17 he uses alt acoounts to abuse people not his own.
Other people that do this sort of behaviour in an abusive way are others that claim they have been wrongly abused themselves.
This persons account looks unhinged if you as me going on about the first amendment downvoting me like it makes any difference to his cause.
Even if i agreed with this person it would not matter i am from and live in the UK so his First Amendment garbage means nothing here, i do think sometimes Americans don't realise their laws only matter there and they are not the only people in the world.
I got pissed off and was downvoting the buildawhale posts back and as i was doing it i thought to myself what a waste of energy this downvoting is.
A post isn't the only way to earn on Hive, also the only thing you do lose is a little Hive reward you get for a post especially as HBD is no longer given out.
It doesn't effect curation rewards, or pools or community token rewards.
See this financial attack these downvoters apply isn't even effective.
Yep even their downvoting like their morals and understanding is broken.
They can't even get downvoting right to make a real impact they would have to log into every community front end and with dominance to downvote and stop you earning from the community tags we use.
Most recent post downvoted still earned ALIVE
Still earned BBHO
Just these two examples shows how pathetic these downvoting actions are as it makes no difference as you just lose Hive from the post and nothing else.
Also as you can see i am able to claim Hive and HP regardless of the abusive nature of others.
It seems off to me that we have downvoting for posts and not for witnesses clearly by design.
Hive is a mess right now with division and abuse being spread and no one at the top doing jack shit about it but they want our support though what a fucking joke.
I wish @hivewatchers or other supposedly guardians of Hive look into this sort of thing but they want for the reasons mentioned before, their standings, their reasons their excuses whatever.
Sad thing is most of the people doing the abusing never invested into Hive, as everything they have was given to them, they came in at the beginning or was set up by later by those that were to do their bidding.
Anyways bollocks to it back to walking today, it was yes you can probably guess it is raining again.

Watch the puddles Bella
Looking forward to Starlink equipment turning up tomorrow.

Hashscore Game
I have been quietly been playing another game being developed by @pinkfloyd878 on Hive.
What is a HASH SCORE?
The Basics
HASH SCORE is a unique blockchain gaming concept that turns transaction hashes into numerical scores. Every time you make a transaction on the Hive blockchain, you automatically generate a completely random and unpredictable hash that becomes your score!
You can get all the information on how it works here
To play select a token from the choices available.
I played Hive today to win 0.048857
I also played HBD to win 0.562768
Click play on your chosen token
Then wait for your unique score.
It takes just a few seconds.
After you can verify if it is fair.
You can use Hashscore in the game itself and there is also a Hashscore - swap.hive liquidity pool where you can earn some LP Rewards.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ ALERT ⚠️⚠️⚠️
HIVE coin is currently at a critically low liquidity. It is strongly suggested to withdraw your funds while you still can.
Thanks for your opinion but i am not ready to walk away thanks anyway.
@heimindanger 😉
Hello.
Thanks for your feedback.
Could you explain how Hivewatchers are "abusers"?
Can you give me some examples of accounts that have been "abused"?
I never said you was abusers what i said about you was you should be looking at the abuse on Hive that goes on.
The fact you don't even know what i am taking about shows what a mess Hive is in if @hivewatchers are not watching what is happening on the platform they are suppose to be watching, whats the point.
I have explained in the post what is happening and you can see the downvote abusers names in the post along with downvotes on my previous posts.
Everyone downvoting me and others like me all have their justifications if you can get a response at all.
My point is people suppose to be protecting Hive from their moral compass points either aren't doing it right or end up the abuser such as people like TMM.
This has all been going on along time now so your lack of knowledge is worrying.
Lots of people have discussed this across the platform.
I am also not talking for other people if they haven't left already i am sure they maybe willing to speak up in their own post i am not handing out a hit list for someone to abuse.
Lots of people on TMM's list are being abused look into that and his activites.
Do research it's not hard to find there has been many.
Have a good day
I am sorry, but I do not think that I understand you wrote in your post.
"This has all been going on along time now so your lack of knowledge is worrying."
My lack of knowledge about what is worrying?
The lack of knowledge of the blatant abuse that goes on with the downvoting honestly i think you are being selectively ignorant becuse there is no way you don't know.
Do some research then come back to me because i am not handing a hit list because if one thing is certain it will be used against people.
You are either Hive watchers or not you can't be selective in abuse.
Example
If you say to me such and such an account is a hacker and expect me to take the precautions to protect Hive and to not let them benefit.
Obviously i am happy to work with you.
But then it is not unreasonable for me to express that i myself is being abused by downvoting abuse and expect you to also take an active roll to reciprocate the same energy.
You recently expected compliance in this matter from our community that we took necessary steps.
I personally reseached your rquest agreed with the violation and as a group we took action.
We never questioned you we just did research and realised you were right.
However you now just want to divert with pointless questions with an expectation to not only do your research but also name people that have not given me permission to list them.
My only claim and request is for myself as i would not wish to drag people i feel have already been victim to this ridiculous behaviour has it is, that has been going on for years.
Weird you missed it.
@hivewatchers
The core feature of the Hive ecosystem, such as the ability to upvote or downvote, is not considered abuse by Hivewatchers.
There you go then enough said we have nothing more to say to each other because i believe purpose matters and you don't good luck in whatever it is you are watching then. 👍
Uhm, I can help to @benthomaswwd to answer that rhetorical, captious and tricky question quite accurately. He just would have to «click here» to find enough evidence to reply you with a big and sounding
for daring to ask such a stupid question, you MoFos.
Even though I see he has been already too kind & polite with his own reply to you!!
But he may have answered that way simply because he doesn't yet know everything there is to know about you, SoBs. Or it could also be because, being him in the UK himself, he might be waiting for the opportunity to run into you face to face and then respond better to such shameless & brainless question from you.
Thanks for your addition @por500bolos , i do not believe they have no idea, it is kind of insulting.
I also don't trust mentioning names so they can be a target for more of the same behaviour from downvoters abusing the system.
I am being kind and polite as i don't think expressing my real feelings would be very helpful or constructive at this time.
Their ignorance to the subject is jarring though and rather annoying.
I am not going to list people like they wish as i already don't trust the information would be handled correctly.
I absolutey know without a doubt there is much i also don't know as you pointed out and so can only speak from my personal point of view and experience.
The only way this abuse on Hive happens is because it is online in a physical alternative it just simply would not happen without physical consequences.
I find people act much differently in other peoples physical presence than they act when they are online saying, doing and actiting in a way they would not otherwise act.
I am just putting my persoan experience and view at the end of the day people will chip in or not.
I do not expect anything to change it seems to be the normal here these days, very sad if you ask me.
Have the best day

I understand your frustration and concern about the situation you describe in Hive.
It is sad to see how a platform that once had so much potential to be a community and decentralized space has been transformed into a place where some seem to use their power in an abusive way.
It is important that these issues are discussed openly in order to raise awareness and seek solutions.

The downvote abuse needs to be effectively addressed, or it will be the downfall of Hive, along with the DHF financial nonsense. I really appreciate you, Ben, and for a whole bunch of reasons, one of which is your unwavering, and undaunted determination to continue moving forward.

Saying that "Hive has communities and is not a community itself" is a good clarification indeed for so many people here on and not on Hive. 🧘♂️🤓
!LOLZ
Yes, and it accurately expresses the fact that the greater Hive community is far from unified. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
!LOLZ
That's what some people here on Hive say is an aspect of decentralization !INDEED, though the question still is how decentralized the blockchain is. 🤯
!WEIRD
!ALIVE
!WINEX
Yep, and it can be quite chaotic, disorganized, and contradictory, with lots of infighting and conflicts. The blockchain and side chain are pretty decentralized, but pretty much everything else is run on individual servers. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I see some people on Hive suggesting that FOSS code for running a (basic) Hive (blogging) frontend should be placed right on the blockchain, so that just in case the centralized servers of Hive apps become inaccessible for any reason, someone can simply run such code (preferably with minimal difficulty especially for thosr without coding knowledge) and interact with the Hive blockchain independently of any server (as long as at least one Hive node is accessible by the person). 🤓
!BEER
I think that would be an excellent idea, if it's feasible, though since code is text, it should be. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
!BEER
Let's hope that hosting such code on one's own device is as simple as creating an HTML file, pasting the code there, and then opening the file as a (single-page) website. 🤓
!LOLZ
That would be very cool if it could be done that way. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I have read a post whose author really wants more decentralization for Hive, and even loved the news that some people on Hive have decided to withdraw support from (some) Hive Proposals !INDEED. 🤓

Appreciate that @tydynrain i treasure our friendship and our community as i believe we are at least on the right track with all we are doing and our energy behind it.
It was nice to get a bit of sun although it still rained later the weather is the same today also, sunshine then rain and so on hopefully this is the beginning of the turn of the weather we have been having which has been dark gloomy and wet.
Have an outstanding week brother forwards,upwards and whaleward cause we need control to fix all this i believe.

Of course, brother, and me too, deeply, and I agree, I do believe that we're on a solid path.
Well, I'm glad that you did get some sun. We've been having lots of cloudy and rainy days here too, which definitely wears on you after a day or two. Even in Hawai'i I can't wait until the sun of summer.
Thank you very much, my friend, I appreciate it, and I hope that your new weeks is glorious indeed. You said it, we need to get us, and our community, to whaledom to shift the balance in a positive direction. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
