Thanks for replying and the very nice upvote of course :). I’m not saying he can’t say what he wants or downvote what he disagrees with. It’s just unfortunate that some good people are painted this way.
I’ve lost a lot of jobs because I’m Nigerian. In fact when edicted on hive gave me a job the first question I asked was if they knew I was Nigerian. I experience this everytime and it gets difficult every time.

I’m just sad about the whole thing. Every time it hurts me. With his large stake he can do anything which is also why I’m writing because of the freedom of speech hive gives at least I can write what I want too 🤗
Ps: would you be open to supporting chess on hive. I run one weekly, but currently on a pause till next year.
I am sad because people keep doing scams. People get “mad” at the things that don’t matter.
And everyone moves on and just scams each other again. And I think people do that here because too many people here are ok with it.
It is ok to steal someone’s money and make them a bag holder. It’s ok to use the reward pool for things it probably shouldn’t be used for.
Well that's also a bad thing on hive. This year as been dramatic for sure.
I believe it will get "worse" before it gets better. We are supporting scammers globally with the reward pool but no one is allowed to try to stop it because downvotes are bad.
Because everyone cares more about money here vs the freedom a decentralized blockchain can provide.
I want to say one thing. Your comment proves what is happening to HIVE. After all this you want to talk about curating chess?
Here in this discussion? Why would you bring that up here now? Is it cause I have a big upvote?
It's not anytime soon. But yes, you already made me understand why I shouldn't feel any different if someone uses their freedom or stake for what they want.
At the end of the day, you're right. For hive and this case, i believe it would eventually sort itself. I do my best to also help the Nigerians on hive and with chess is just another thing I do on hive. Do I benefit from it? Yes I do, however, I just think if there are so many attractive things about hive, more people will come.
I'm thinking of building a game next year. A simple game that I can share on web2.
