SAFE SPACE

I hate talent shows. The fact that gifted people would subjugate themselves to the scrutiny of some people lesser or equal in ability never sit well with me. I do not think any form of art should be seen through such a narrow lens.

I hate the negative feedback that comes from being judged, especially from subject things. Also, I think that if you don’t have anything good to say then you should not say anything at all.

Life is difficult for the most part. So if you're not saying anything to encourage the next person who is actively doing something positive, you should be silent.

I am not so active on social media platforms these days. This is because these platforms have become a cesspool of hate. The sheer amount of judgment that occurs on these platforms is staggering. It never used to be like that way in the past.

I remember when social media was fun; I remember when people were genuinely curious about this space. Everyone was genuinely interested in sharing pieces of their lives and connecting to a larger community. Now the reverse is the case.

Everyone with a smartphone is a moral police waiting to send the next person that errs to the guillotine. We are quick to judge even things we do not understand and this for me is a recipe for chaos.

Today it would only take a couple of bad things to turn my life upside down. I have heard cases of people being falsely accused of an offenses without any meaningful evidence to back such claims.

We live in a world where having an opinion that derivates from the norm is seen as a taboo; a world where a counter-argument is an attack. We've become more intolerant and irritable.

It is often a goal of mine to stay level-headed and be as objective as I can in every situation--online and offline. I think this is something we all should aspire to do in our exchanges with other people.

Let our words inspire people to be the best they can be; let's create an atmosphere of peace with our words. We can give meaningful feedback without spending caustic.

The internet is our home. We spend most of our time on this space and it is imperative to make it conducive for proper dialogue and we can do so by conducting our activities in a proper manner

Most of the suggestions might seem farfetched but I believe it is doable. It only takes conscious effort and determining the type of human being you want to be.

Sort:  

Social media was designed, from the start, to manipulate people.

The big social media sites were all about giving away free product so that they could sell personal information to marketers. The marketers would then set in on manipulating the naive audience.

Even if the social media sites had a positive tone, social media would still be evil.

I think HIVE is a little bit different in that many of the people at the core of the project are tying to build things. HIVE's underlying problem is that it suffers a certain number of people who are just into harvesting coins.

I find it easier to deal with greed than dealing with the desire to use people.

i can't say for such the agenda behind social media but I see it as a tool and not something inherently good or bad. it all boils down to how you use the platform you are given. some have used this tool to benefit humanity, others have not done so much.

Could it be you feel this way because you have suffered negative judgments in the past and perhaps you just need to find those who judge you positively?

It could be a possibility. I don't necessarily seek positive validation but it does help. I would take constructive criticism over judgement. There is a big difference between 'you're not good enough' and 'you can improve'

Oh, thank you. I do my best to come up with a decent decent post. 🤭
