RE: Hive needs more friends than enemies

Reading your post I can see a lot of the views in it that I share.

I think we have to be careful about who we drive away from Hive. Some may come in and be seen to be abusing it but have not understood what is considered acceptable. For some earning even a few dollars a week can make a real difference and they will anything to get that. I do think that Hive should offer everyone a chance, but it needs to be done honestly.

People need to learn how it is done here. I often feel like a newbie here and it's been years now. I don't know all the rules someone posted somewhere on his blog.
Some of the design flaws of Hive are not explained to new people nor are being fixed. Selfvote for posts and comments is seen as abuse and not treated well. Put the design allows for it. More and more I see habits as I have seen at our old roots of Steem. New arrivals have a hard time figuring out what the etiquette is here. Then I see self-righteous accounts "whales" that try to impose their ideals over the mechanics of the platform and keep punishing people for what they seem not to understand who is even imposing their power of the vote on them. This is called equalizing here. All under the umbrella of anonymity because these people demand an account verification to the people they punish but do not disclose their identity nor what qualifies them to push for the authority of the Hive blockchain as it is declared decentralized and free. This is driving people off the platform as I see it in some discord channels. Being inclusive with positive motivation is very different psychology that seems to be disappearing. Abuse is to many people very different thing.

Many projects that also support me understand that and I am extremely happy and appreciative of support projects like OCDB, @ecency @photofeed or @photographylover, etc. pp.
This is the way to motivate bloggers and creators to publish unique and substantial articles. We should uplift the great content over going around and trying to punish an individual. Advising on how to improve and succeed would be a positive approach to toxic autocrats acting all awkward. That's what I wish for and hope for Hive to thrive.
