RE: Hive Needs More Devs Than Marketing
(Edited)
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
You are probably right about the need for devs above all, but I think we need all of the above. We need more excitement and experimentation.
From what I can see, what we really need is to push back on overbearing enforcers like Hivewatchers and the Karens around here that call the cops on other users all the time. I've done a little bit of digging around over the last week or two and evidence suggests to me that we have been hemorrhaging users, even big stake ones like crazy over the past couple of years. I almost left with my stake and I still might.
Anyway. Good point. Ty

Absolutely! We can only move forward if we experiment, push limits, and try new things. Especially in a field as new and dynamic as crypto.
Yes, I've seen this subject brought up frequently, regarding the "corrections" applied through downvotes. If they were justified all the time, maybe the pushback wouldn't be as hard, but there are often cases of mistaken (BIG) downvotes, whale disagreements that may end up in downvote wars with collateral casualties, or spite downvotes, which all leave behind a bad taste in the mouths of those affected and their friends.
And yes, I believe they are one reason why some people left us, unfortunately.
I think there were some brief discussions at CTT about changing them, and how to change them to still exist as a possibility to control abuse, but also make them cost voting power, for example.
This is a heated topic. Keeping downvotes the same, changing them, or removing them completely, each option would have strong supporters and some serious arguments too.
Regarding Hivewatchers itself, maybe I don't understand exactly how they work, but I looked at their latest report from December and found some users being reported for 'unverified identity' (not 'identity theft'/'deception'!), for example, which to me seems strange on a platform like Hive, without KYC.
