With the malicious people and the mean spirit of most of the people involved with downvoting and this claims of white knighting is really driving the community apart. And running off many honest real.content creators.
This behavior has been getting worse.
Hivewatchers got a false report about me and one individual blanket banned and blacklisted me with no cause no Investigation and also banned a innocent account... It took the community and the hivewatchers themselves to object to remove it and give me a reprimand.
I'm no Angel. I'll accept the reprimand.
But the hivewatchers group does huge amounts of help to the blockchain. And need more funding and community support.
If you are bad... And get nuked... Well the community needs to know this information.
If a community member gets nuked for little or no reason... We need to have a community group and community support.
I approve of this. Great idea. The worst of the worst can be highlighted for why they are getting hammered....
And then community members that have messed up a little... Can have support.
If small things go on there needs to be a process. Which wasn't followed in my case and others....
If one false report can have resources misallocated... Others have happened.
We need more community involvement. It's plain and simple. We need funding for community leaders and strict term limits. However honored leaders need to get nominated Into a pool of talent to support the Legacy of the leadership.
Great work. And hopefully you will continue growing!
Thanks! Ultimately, those with the most stake are going to be tempted to act like monarchs, even when the power has been 'delegated' to them by the community. Decentralisation should really explore the opposite of this wherever possible imo. That being said, we do need organisation to achieve common goals. If the community makes clear it's intent and needs, then there can be an organised meeting of minds rather than random butting of heads.
Motives it all comes down to motives and who wants to really be a part of the future.
Is the future going to turn into an authoritarian crazy lockdown world or are we going to embrace freedom and liberty?
The great law of peace will continue to grow. All human beings have the right to speak their hearts and be free.
I just now we have to fight to maintain those rights and liberties. As human beings will continue to do for the rest of human history.
Yes, ultimately this is about free will vs. suppression of free will. The former is life and the latter is death. The principles at play might not seem so grand when applied to a few accounts on Hive, but in truth, they are the same principles that apply when governments ban the right to process (as happened in the UK recently!) or activists are murdered by oil companies. The same personality constructs empower all such situations.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
A lot of people when they are given the chance to have power go crazy. It is just too much for most people. When they get the crazy thinking that they are entitled to this power... Things start to shift and end up extremely badly.
However with so many good community members fighting back... I have a lot of Hope for our blockchain.
I know what you mean - people often have a lot of unrecognised or underaccepted emotional imbalances based in lack of self acceptance that has them constantly trying to 'beat' everyone else in any way possible. This can manifest as exceptionally loud people who never listen to anything but who just keep talking or it can be the powermonger money obsessive on Wall St. - or it can be those who start literal wars, killing millions without a second thought.
Unfortunately, the flipside is that these people can generally only operate because the mass of people has been brainwashed to reject personal power as 'bad' - partially as a result of looking at the powermongers and being fed the idea that if they hold personal power that they will be just as much of a problem for humanity. In both the case of the powermonger and those who abdicate power, it is a lack of self acceptance that is at the root of the dysfunction.
