I've Upset Azircon... Will they answer these questions?

esecholo in #cent • 2 years ago

Here are my questions to Azircon and to the devs who allegedly are opposed to self-voting...
I'll keep this discussion on the mainchain because most witnesses would rather hide this discussion away in their discord servers.

Looks like I am being targeted with mass downvotes from Azircon for highlighting a glaring problem from the whales of Hive and their self-votes and alternative accounts.

For background, I have been on STEEM/HIVE since 2016, and the discussion regarding self-votes and using alternative accounts to self-vote has been a heated discussion. Instead of discussing things like adults, the ones who control a great deal of HP would rather instead just run away from the discussion. So going back to a previous post, if self-voting was so wrong, as the witnesses claim, then why have they not codified it into the mainchain since 2016?

It has been 6 YEARS that this debate has been raging on, and the witnesses are making excuse after excuse. If we are ALL supposed to not self-vote and if we are ALL NOT supposed to have multiple accounts that vote for our own network/community, then why aren't there limitations on this very action on the main chain? Why are the side-chain tokens not limited either?

What exactly is the purpose of attacking smaller creators when larger creators do it too?

Can any of the witnesses actually answer this question?

I was never arguing against downvotes, but instead the integrity of those downvotes.

For example, the people who do downvote create a façade as if they are downvoting with good intentions. They create these groups "to combat spam", "to stop self-voting", etc. Etc. Any adult with an active frontal-lobe can predict and accurately assume that they only use that claim as nothing more than a cover so they can target smaller channels who they have problems with or on chain political disagreements with.

It isn't wrong since this chain allows downvotes, yet if we are to have confidence in the witnesses, in communities and their community leaders then it is of utmost importance that smaller channels and people who are thinking to create an account on Hive be aware of how they fabricated this centralized elitist cartel.

Of course, if you bring attention to this then that same cartel mass downvotes. Once again, creating a façade that this chain has integrity, the façade that this chain isn't centralized, the façade that we can trust community leaders.

Yeah, I'm just going to let it go, and plan accordingly. I'm not going to stress myself out over this.

Blurt has protections against these kind of abusers. There's a silver lining in all of this.

Diversity in crypto is the key.

Diverse crypto is a good idea, I'm doing the same myself. I've mainly been focusing on Beens, bandaids, and bullets here, I expect that November will crash things here.

Be by sure to get ready!!!!

There is still no answer.
So, it's very clear they only act in bad faith.

Since 2016...
They still create the facade that they aggressively enforce their "own rules" to benefit the chain. In reality, they just keep targeting smaller creators, especially those who are very aware of how this chain works and who it primarily benefits.

It is a shame, but this is why we do not promote Hive anymore as a business. The way they behave is far worse than YouTube and Facebook.

Even D.Tube allows self-voting, it is actually encouraged on D.Tube. Blurt got rid of the downvote button and although there are Hivers that want to see it gone, it still is thriving.

We were going to invest more money in the Hive ecosystem and release a token on the second-layer chain, but we're scrapping the entire idea and taking the concept to DogeChain. We're just going to avoid Hive altogether for any future projects. The only benefit for us on Hive is the interest rates at maximum.
