I meant the comment about citizenship. It seems that people who view themselves as saviours of the world through policy enforcement (their own) seem to lack a sense of humour for some reason.

i considered "what are your demands ?" - but decided against it
it seems like the sum total of evidence that this account should be downvoted is 'imperfect use of English'. seems exceedingly racist to me, but i imagine that racism would be another reason for them to downvote. lol.
they just make up reasons
nobody is holding them accountable
if they are totally fabricating claims then it seems like there must be a motive for it, beyond some form of psychosis.
Imagine a street where there is a line of street performers - with tip jars
you can contribute to performers you like
OR, you can take tips away from performers you dislike
when you take tips away, those tips go into a pool of tips that get - redistributed - to the TOP EARNING PERFORMERS
so, the TOP EARNING PERFORMERS are incentivized to kick over the tip jars of as many people as possible
Absolutely, yes, it's basically the same as having a government that controls taxation.
THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO UNVOTE THEM
I think that ultimately it's the coding teams that have the power here, which is annoying me because I am skilled in programming but already invested in numerous other time consuming projects.
can't we just make one simple change ?
what do you think of an automatic - 0.1% daily modifier being applied to all rep numbers above 25 ? and a + 0.1% daily modifier for rep numbers below 25 ?
that way
if someone's account goes inactive and they don't receive any upvotes - they will very slowly drift down to 25 rep
it also acts as a sort of "time-out" for downvoted accounts
the bottom line is that forking the blockchain is costly and requires a lot of organisation at present, so we aren't going to see forks adopted that only contain small changes. this means that forks have to be collections of changes that often include larger work/changes. this in turn means that only really the main development team are likely to ever release a fork that gets accepted. the best option currently for getting a change like this implemented is for it to gain acceptance with the wider community without actually coding it, then having it included in a future fork.
changes like your proposed one aren't something that can really be tested other than on the live network because their implications are more social/political and take more time to manifest than testing usually allows.
the idea itself is interesting to me, however, it does imply that rather than having a 'tyranny of stake', we might see a 'tyranny of habituation'.. In other words, great people might get zeroed out just because they had to leave the blockchain for a while - whereas the anti social people might gain power just because they keep posting. In fact, it would motivate the use of bots to keep accounts active, which would not be healthy for spam on the network.
However, this does 'flag the underlying problem of policing in general... The more opposition that people get from policy enforcers, the more they will amp up their response and if anti-spam downvoters don't act with integrity, then we might see a cascade of events where spam dramatically increases in order to serve as 'chaff' that is designed to overpower the downvoters so that they are less effective.
don't they always say they want to be more like twitter ?
can you imagine downvotes on twitter ?
i haven't heard any of them say that, but maybe. twitter is definitely not a model to aim for!
they want the userbase and media recognition that twitter enjoys
i think they need to understand that twitter and the old media are both tools of oppression, designed for human farming. they are both operated, ultimately, by the same groups. shifting people to hive is also liberating them and that means much more than just writing code - it's an evolutionary process.
part of the "problem" seems to be people with a lot of stake wanting to "boost the token price" instead of simply trying to make an awesome place where people can share all kinds of ideas with each other and find other like-minded individuals
what exactly is the "problem" with "spam" ?
we already have decentralized blacklists and mute-lists
spam uses network resources that cost money - plus also requires effort from users to block out if it is all decentralised.
implement a nominal fee for posting
like they did on blurt
most people never see "spam" because they only look at their own blog (and replies to their own comments)
i've been told that the rep system is not part of the blockchain
it is merely a function of the front-ends
so, we just need to get hive.blog and peakd.com onboard
also, it wouldn't necessarily generate spam
most of these accounts simply don't post anything because if they did, they'd be exposed to possible downvote retaliation
Reputation is part of the blockchain: https://developers.hive.io/tutorials-python/account_reputation.html
The front ends just convert the raw blockchain value into a more meaningful number and adjust their presentation of posts as they see fit.
ok, awesome, good to know
That's definitely racism.
"It's even obvious without investigation."
So.. unsubstantiated claims of plagiarism. Blacklisting due to suspicion only.
No way someone could be writing in their native language and using a translator to try to reach a larger audience.. I'm sure no one does that..
Some wild stuff.. Mind boggling actually.
here's the highlight
Some very toxic looking responses.
there seems to be some honesty
here's hivewatchers "official response" to my simple request for a "path to citizenship":

I was going over possible responses to you, and this is exactly what I imagined in my mind.
nice.
here's part two - i have never been a proponent (or opponent) of qanon and or flat-earth and or anti-vaxx
you can't have a rational conversation with people who are dishonest and unable to use logic in an honest way. when the strawman 'arguments' come out, people reveal their true nature and their own destiny.
well stated
i noticed you're still voting for anyx even though they're officially in charge of this
anyx is one guy. i am not aware of his involvement with censorship - was that explained somewhere already?

What? Not a Q-anoner... tisk tisk.. just kidding... :D
I'm an anti-vaxxer if you want to call it that. I believe in freedom of choice over my body and don't want to partake in chemical experimental jabs.
Some would call me an anti-vaxxer, but I fully support peoples choice to gamble with their lives!
i'm very pro-vaxx
pro-VOLUNTARY-vaxx
☝️ as long as CHOICE is involved right 🙂
I'm only antivaxx on my own body, I fully support others in their bodily endeavors, whatever that means :D
yes, when exactly did everyone forget about MEDICAL PRIVACY ?????
Hipaa laws?
I was asked in a grocery store if I was vaxxed by the cashier. I stated Hipaa gives me the right to not answer a store clerk asking me for my medical decisions.
This was only a short lived thing here it seems, because I've never seen it again since. I bet I wasn't the only one bringing that up...
perfecto
Actually HIPAA only impacts those who deal directly with medical records.
While I totally support your right to medical privacy and the decision you made to not say what your vaccination status is, that has absolutely nothing to do with HIPAA.
I didn't know that. Thank you for clarifying. The store clerk didn't know either and decided not to argue with me about it :D
As a continuance to this.. I would like to propose a question to you, because you obviously know a bit more about this than myself.
Do you know of any laws/legislation(s) which protect someone shopping at the grocery store from being asked/harassed by a store clerk for their private medical information, which could be used as a proper reference so that people like myself are not speaking out of our asses to protect our privacy?
Such information I will share with others as well. I appreciate your time, thank you.
if a company, or individual is compiling a list of people, specifically regarding their "vaccination status" - that is a de facto "medical record"
if a company, or individual is compiling a list of people, specifically regarding their "vaccination status" - that is a de facto "medical record"
lol, that's not how HIPAA works.
regardless - you are under no legal obligation to share your medical information with anyone
I completely agree! But don't tell people to site HIPAA to sound informed, because it makes them sound REALLY uninformed.
yeah, i just say "MEDICAL PRIVACY"
I won't do it again lol. I thought HIPAA protects patients medical privacy for/from everyone and not just with medical providers.
This is a farce too, because during a stay in rehab years ago I had a nurse show me on the computer how she was able to access my most private medical information and we both agreed that it was totally messed up!
This was/is the VA medical system, afaik it still works this way, despite many will deny it. I saw it first hand.
Yep, it's bad. At my last company we had a sales person do a live demo of billing records with live hospital data, it was nearly a lawsuit.
I totally support you protecting your privacy! :) It was just a sidebar
