What a beautiful message @meno
I've tried to onboard one person. But as soon as they found out about down voting, they refused to go further. So I've been quite hung up about that. I also realise that I've used it as an excuse to avoid onboarding others.
Now, inspired by your video, I can see that I must focus on positives. There's clearly a mountain of enjoyment to experience on Hive. So I should encourage people to use Hive and find ways to avoid pitfalls.

DVs can seem bad if you get them, but Hive does need defences. If you get on the wrong side of a big account then you have problems and they are free to do what they want. I've not had a DV in a while that I've noticed. I think Hive has more positives than negatives for most people.
It's not so much a personal issue with me. More that I see the damage that it does to the platform.
But of course, the only way to fix it is from the inside.
My biggest concern is that we still seem to have a "Wild West Frontier" attitude. That seems to stem from the need to be decentralised. But surely we can recognise that:
I suspect people want the actual platform to stay neutral. How do you judge the reasons for a downvote? As it is DVs are a tiny percentage of total votes, but then they get concentrated on a few people. I don't have influence on anyone to change that, just the same witness votes as anyone else.
