I'm not on social media and it took a long time for me to agree to come onto Hive.

One of the reasons is that I've heard about the reactions people have, the blow up's as you have stated, which rarely seem to be about anything that really matters and more about ego and pride, usually from people who have not even done the right thing in the first place or simply want to exercise and exert some force upon others for no reason.

I have seen some posts from someone about you and @hurtlocker, who I have never interacted with, and out of curiosity had a look then simply closed up the posts and won't go back. The behavior of some people is disgusting. I don't know the background and don't want to but I question the reaction considering it's really about such trivial matters and a blow up to seek pity. It's indicates that person feels guilty, the strenuous reaction I mean.

As you know, a group on Hive targeted me and some others because you support them and myself; clearly done to attack you. They asked me to post Hive on my social media accounts, which I do not have. It seemed nonsensical to ask of a person, they really want people to reveal their true and personal identities and that of their friends and family? Would those who attacked do the same if I asked for the social security numbers and passport as proof of who they were? I think not.

As you also know, I'll not post on here anymore for that reason. Not the attack on me and the others, the attack on you and the fact people can be so terrible here about such minor things. It's not a place I want to be and to share. So I comment now and then and that's the extent of it.

Keep being who you are; there are many here who know exactly who that is, maybe not in the offline world, but your actions here, the support you provide others, is clear to see and appreciated.

Yea that most recent downvote case was a weird one 😅. Most blow ups on here and IRL are about ego. It’s not hard for people to adjust but they don’t want to and try to prove a point by making a scene.

I think you should do what makes you happy either way. Doing anti abuse on HIVE is thankless job and scammers pull out a lot of weird tricks. The HW verification thing is strange. That’s never made a lot of sense to me. I am not a huge fan of their appeal process in discord either but I actually have mentioned that to them in the past and they were receptive to feedback.

I can understand why HW approaching you was so frustrating because you want to avoid the drama but got pulled into it anyways. To me that’s a sign that galenkp shut down some big scammers because that tends to be how they react is do something scammy (like make fake reports to HW) 😅

I did look at your most recent post and a lot of people did step up and vouch for you. That’s not super common here so you should realize you are appreciated by good people here. But that doesn’t mean you owe HIVE your posts either.

There will always be drama IRL, online, and on HIVE. The main reason I like HIVE is you cannot be censored by a government or any centralized authority. Unfortunately that comes at the cost that we have to police ourselves which is just super chaotic sometimes.

Proving a point often takes people down a path best not traveled and can end up taking them to places they'd not like to be. This may be the situation with the person in question, certainly not someone I feel is a person I'd want to have anything to do with.

I agree with your other point, the people or person who reported me and others to get at galenkp is quite obviously someone he has addressed in some way and has ended for lack of a better word. With no other recourse they've struck out at those around him in an attempt to hurt him. It backfired though and thanks in the main to those who stood up for me; something I did not take for granted.

Thank you for your reply, I appreciate your thoughtful response.

You should only post if you want to anyways. Don’t worry about the nonsense. Downvotes shouldn’t be the reason to not make content you enjoy imo.

That being said, I think posting is kind of over rated; it’s a lot of work to make “good” posts. I prefer to curate and comment myself. I mostly post to let people know what I’m up to. Having “good” consistent content is not easy. @galenkp just makes it look easy 🤣

Comments on HIVE can be a lot of fun. Just need to find the right people to engage with.

Don’t worry too much about HW, they got so much BS they deal with already I’m sure they would rather not leave so many comments but they have to be consistent or it just looks bad. They get paid through the DHF so they really can’t play favorites even if they think a report is bogus.

You are a good stakeholder by all metrics I’m aware of; I promise I don’t say that lightly. If you have feedback to HW’s process and you communicate it in a positive way they may adjust. Not a suggestion, just I’ve given HW feedback in the past and it went pretty well.

Either way, do what you want and have a good time! That’s how I like to roll anyways.

Cheers!

I never received downvotes that I'm aware of and they're not responsible for my not posting, however when you said you, possibly you're speaking generally and not referring specifically to me?

I don't miss posting and am happy to comment when I have the time instead. I know I'm supported here should I choose to resume posting however for now I have no intention of doing so. I would miss putting my thoughts into words and seeing them at some distance, however I do that offline anyway and that's just as good and probably preferable.

As far as my stakeholder position goes, I've not powered down, just up, or extracted anything in the years I've been here. I'm not highly rewarded and I don't post often so my holdings are modest, however I don't have a need for the rewards in my offline world so staked here is as good a place as any for it. I don't know if that makes me good or bad but if you ask my man he'd probably say he likes me somewhat balanced somewhere between the two. 🙃

Well Hive Watchers targeting you is why I thought you stopped posting. All they can do is downvote your content. Besides that not much else they can do.

Most people here only post for the rewards so HW downvoting usually gets people to adjust.

It is super uncommon for people to tell them no and stop posting lol

I think the rewards are overrated to some extent anyways. A lot of people write what they don't want for rewards and it is a bummer imo.

They actually didn't downvote me, just asked me to reveal my actual identity on the internet which I find creepy and invasive. The only downvotes I have received were from someone galenkp had attitude-adjusted previously who also thought to get at him through me. Of course, it did not work. I mean getting at him didn't work, but what worked well was the attitude-adjustment and that user found out the hard way that one will win silly prizes if one plays silly games.

So, I told them no, I'll not reveal my identity to someone who hides their own and that was that. I'd actually not reveal my identity here to anyone, other than the people who know I'm a real person. I'm disinclined to be involved in someone's little game or power struggle, I have more important things to do.

I am fairly convinced half the people who reveal their identity here just do it as a scam to seem more like a real person to get upvotes 😅

I am not sure what you would need to reveal anything for so that is a weird request in my opinion. Kudos to you for sticking up for yourself! Sorry I missed curating this comment. I am a bit behind on stuff HIVE stuff myself 😅

Good morning - it's morning here. It's ok about the comment, I know you are busy and active on Hove and would never want for you to take time specifically away from what you do just to comment to me.

As a real person, someone with a job, a partner who also has a job that he would never disclose to others because he can't, and all the associated things that a real person has like bank accounts, a house and all of the other things that come with trackable paperwork I can't comprehend how someone could expect me to reveal who I am. Or maybe they just wanted to see some bikini and lingerie photos of me (which, of course, would not even be on the internet by the way). They are probably perverts and creeps.

Thank you for believing in my resistance, others did as well which was nice to see and, and it makes me feel happy that they, and you, did.

I hope you have a nice weekend.

Thanks for your message and kind words.

I think @hurtlocker says it well in his comment to you and I've not much to add really. He said:

"Most blow ups on here and IRL are about ego. It’s not hard for people to adjust but they don’t want to and try to prove a point by making a scene."

That individual you're talking about is still shitting all over her own account dropping post after post of the same thing thinking it's going to make a difference when all it does is show people what type of person she is. She could have simply posted as normal but nope, the ego won't let her. And now her post feed looks like shit. It's interesting to note that one of the main person interacting with her has a reputation of minus 11. Like-minded people flock together, even at the bottom of the barrel.

You were supported by many during your little situation which was not aimed at you at all as you rightly stated, it was aimed at me which is why some of the others I also support were also targeted. I understand and applaud your response, I'd have said a firm no to their request also, as would others as they commented to you. You've made a stand based on your dislike of this exact sort of social media nutbaggery and I respect that. Everyone should respect that.

Should you come back and post you'll continue to get my support. Should you not and comment only, then you'll get my support. You have some good relationships here and they value that as you do them.
