RE: A few thoughts...

in #hive • 2 months ago

I would like to rebut the idea that

"Just because someone doesn't have a big stake, their concerns aren't less valid."

I have been trying to reach out to senior Hivers in a professional way for over 6 months and have repeatedly been ignored or just been told that my ideas don't count cos i only have 70hp.

Hive is not at all welcoming to people that do not have big stakes and it is missing out on good inpuit because of this.

We all need to do better abnde I would like to ask you to set a good example....

    If you bought 1 share in Apple, would you expect the large stakeholders to listen to your ideas?

    HIVE reflects this in a similar way. That's the way of the world whether you like it or not.

    I don't think that is a viable comparison to be honest, not least cos there is no such thing as "the way of the world". That phrase is as big a copout as "nothing personal, omly business", beloved of crooks and thieves everywhere!

    As I have found out over the last few months, Hive is a decentralised social media platform primarily, which is a brilliant idea.

    However, just as Bitcoin is better money, we need to be a better community in which all voices are valued, not just a clique of oldtimers, which is what it is now....

    Both Splinterlanders and Hivers need to do better.

    Many of the large stakeholders are 'oldtimes' not in the sense of their real age but the time they have lived here.

    Would you have someone who joined yesterday making big decisions? They care in their own way, and of course it's about money..., what else?

      yes, i totally meant in terms of having been on hive a long time and nothing ageist.

      size of stake should not be weaponised and surely newcomers should be at least heard, rather than dismissed like presumptious children? 🙂

      I'm a decent size holder and am talking to you 😃
      When I joined here, it was the same for me. Stake holds weight and voice, but I remember the early days and wanted more.., that's me.

        And in my view, this is a problem.
        I don't even look at wallets when I talk to someone.

        Maybe we could have a chat then please? I promise nothing more than coherence, doability and transparency... 😀
