Yea I am trying to view the experience as a new user vs a user who has been here a long time. I am not sure the best path forward but if I mute on peakd their activity no longer shows up.
Might make sense to have a list of most muted users or something so new users know who to mute 🤷♂
This is a great idea. It's something this platform has never had, and has always needed. When users first log into their accounts, their homepage could have some useful articles about what witnesses are, how witness votes work, what proposals are and how the DHF works, even more in depth articles about vests, inflation, the rewards pool, curation, and up and down votes, amongst other things. Peakd does a little of this now, but it could be greatly expanded to good effect IMHO.
Many people here have little or no understanding of some of these aspects of Hive, and I think providing such articles (which could be links to posts widely acclaimed as easy to understand and accurate information. There are posts that have been published on all the above topics over the years, but the search functions poorly and they are very hard to find - especially if you don't know what you're looking for).
A few pointers regarding Hive etiquette would really help you guys countering abuse. Examples of spam, scams, and plagiarism would make your jobs a lot easier, or at least cut down on the protestations of innocence when bad actors are DV'd for the bad acts.
Yea one thing I like about HIVE is we can basically create our own onboarding experience. Anyone can do it and should be encouraged to also if they are passionate about doing it for the right reasons.
I don't really like paid onboarding through the DHF or Reward Pool though. It obscures if people are doing it for the right reasons.
I think this would be a really good idea. I think a lot of new users that start to get greedy think they are trying something new when they try to farm the reward pool and don't really realize that people here have seen every trick in the book by now.
I think you're right.
