Winners of the Post of the Month, Compliment of the Month, and Non-Compliment Comment of the Month on the FreeCompliments Community – August 2023!

Welcome to the 2nd iteration of the FreeCompliments Community’s contests for Post of the Month, Compliment of the Month, and Non-Compliment Comment of the Month! The goal of this contest is to encourage the creation of quality content, both long-form and short-form, for the betterment of the community and its members.

The winner of the Post of the Month and Compliment of the Month will win 5 HSBI + 1000 Ecency Points, and runner-ups of these plus the Non-Compliment Comment of the Month will win 3 HSBI + 500 Ecency Points. Plus, they’ll be the first to nominate the next month’s choices!

We had some ties in place, so this time around, I’ll act as the tie-breaker even though I wrote in the nominations. In the future, our winners and runner-ups will have the opportunity to nominate their choices → the community will vote on their choices → I’ll act as tie-breaker if necessary.

Without further ado, here are our winners and runner-ups:

Post of the Month

Stop searching for the right Person and Focus on becoming the right Person. from @city-of-berlin. In this post, she describes how communication is changing and shaping the way we interact with and understand each other. It is a very original analysis and way of thinking, and exceptionally well-written, which is why it has earned the prize of Post of the Month.

5 HSBI and 1,000 Ecency Points coming your way!

And for our runner-up:

Make Someone's Day With A Compliment/Alegra el día de alguien con un cumplido (English /Spanish) from @luchyl. This is a broad description of the benefits of compliments and how to execute them in a way that’s most beneficial to someone. It embodies the spirit of this community, hence it earns a well-deserved prize as well.

Compliment of the Month

From @razzi11, this compliment is a self-reflection of how she’ll try to change her mindset for her own self-betterment. What better compliment exists than knowing someone was affected by your words and is using them to try to improve? This is why this wins Compliment of the Month. Keep it up, Razzi!

And for our runner-up:

From @beeber, this compliment touches upon something that, to some degree, we all wish to achieve: making an impact. This is one of the few compliments that will stick with me forever because it is exactly such a validation, one which rather caught me by (a very pleasant) surprise.

Non-Compliment Comment of the Month

While our primary focus is on compliments, free speech and discussion is also a tremendous focus in this community. Not all conversations require compliments or agreements, but rather respectful discussion, listening, and exchanges of ideas. Thus, I believe it is essential to reward dialogues which are done in such a manner. This is a tenet of the stringent free speech principle we exercise, in a manner that we would love to see implemented in all forms of communication.

This month, it’s actually a pair of sequential comments that work together: the initial and the direct follow-up by @palomap3. What makes these so special? Here we see a combination of empathy/understanding, respect, specific outreach, practical options to help the situation, personal involvement, and a plan of action to help. This is a perfect example of how to work with someone who may be going through a mental health issue or difficult time, and is using social media to reach out.

Conclusion

Congratulations to the winners and runner-ups of this Post of the Month, Compliment of the Month, and Non-Compliment Comment of the Month contest! I hope that this encourages you and others who see this post to continue producing quality content within the community, and to spread the principles we practice in this community out into the rest of Hive and the world around you.

To our winners and runner-ups: we now provide you an opportunity to vote for your choice of Post of the Month and Compliment of the Month, as well as Non-Compliment Comment of the Month. Please submit up to 2 choices (I know it can be tough to choose). For the sake of integrity, please don’t nominate your own work lol!

The post announcing the next contest will be made in the first week of October to permit a week’s worth of nominations prior to revealing the winners.


What do you think of our winners and runner-ups? Are there are other posts or comments that you would have chosen? Are the choices and prizes fair?

I would love to hear any and all opinions about these topics from everyone who is currently a member of FreeCompliments, since you’re all inaugural members! Anyone else who finds this page is also very welcome to voice their opinion. We’re all about free speech, and everyone’s experience has value.
