Well, nobody can know what they don't know, nor that they don't know it.
I think you are both right.
We need downvotes for cultural controls.
Downvotes mathematically lead to centralization of stake.
I recommend personal restraint, all around.
Freedom, it ain't always what you'd like it to be.™
Ah okay so my downvotes centralise the stake, sure.
You guys generalize at the wrong points.
Anyway, I stop caring.
Go on abolishing downvotes - and destroy what is left from Hive.
Just because you don't want to let go of a few cents (that are being flagged away)
And on this way, do NOT come and cry about all the other abuse. Plagiarism, cirklejerking commies or straight up pedophiles. Just to name some examples.
All the best.
Ps.
IF you were right (flags = centralizing) I would have never been able to even build a stake.
I earned all.
While simultaneously being flagged for months by Berniesanders and the whole German community back then.
But Idc anymore. Will leave soon.
It's pointless. And very sad. I liked the fundamental idea of hive. But humans are not ready as it seems.
All just whining cucks.
Maybe I am different because of my pain.
But I am sick of all your people's whining.
I flag people every day.
I'm for the flags, but I can math, too.
The math of that post seems to line up with the premise.
I know that you are one of the few who spend their time.
But still. You will loose the whole platform by abolishing downvotes.
It is the same logic as destroying bitcoin just because the already rich can also buy.
Bitcoin is not about fixing the distribution.
It's about censorship resistant finance. Even if you do not have much. Banks censor even your not having much.
Only with tech like bitcoin you can even start building up your wealth.
Same for hive.
It is not about socialism, everyone getting free lunch.
It is about censorship resistant exchange of ideas.
But I stop now. Wasting my time.
You guys need to decide what you want first.
Maybe you are also still too good. And need to REALLY loose it all first.
I already had that experience.
All the best.

Downvotes aren't going anywhere, anybody that wants no downvotes gets sent to blurt.
No downvotes there.
What hive needs is more people with lots of stake.
