WHICH PLATFORM DO YOU PREFER?

in #vyb3 years ago

Some people seem to be able to juggle just about every platform in the known universe, from Twatter to Bastyon, and also all the different Hive based front ends.

I must admit I got completely carried away back on Steemit and set up so many accounts I totally confused myself, and of course all those accounts carried across to Hive. So yes, I do have Hive accounts in the double figures...LOL...

This year there is way too much other shit going on for me to want to be maintaining masses of different accounts, so it’s all going to be @frot from this point.

And I’m also having a clear out of platforms and front ends too.

Some of them, like Fakebook, Punterest, and Twatter, are censored deep state mind programming psyops that I’m only too happy to see the arse end of.

But some of them, like Blurt, Flote, and Minds, are cool projects that I would like to use and support if I had more time.

Here on Hive, @onealfa was just asking which front end people prefer, POB or VYB. For me that is an easy question, because every post I do on Hive gets down voted to zero, which not only wipes all my rewards, it also means my rep goes lower every time I do a post. Fuck that for a joke...

So VYB is now the only Hive front end I’m focussing on – with no downvoting it means the Hive insiders don’t get to decide if my content is approved by them. POB still has downvoting, so unfortunately it doesn’t cut the mustard in that department.

If I just posted art I probably would never have realised how much content is controlled and censored on Hive, but everyone who is attempting to expose psyops like the Corona Plandemic soon finds out which subjects are verboten on Hive.

Two platforms I am continuing to use because they really do seem to allow free speech (far more so than Hive) are Bastyon and GAB. They are both great for sharing memes, images, links, and short form content. They are not about post earnings, but about sharing non-approved content. They are entertaining and educational.

Which brings me to the point of this post – which of those two do you prefer?

To offer a comparison I’m going to post the most recent 10 images on my Bastyon timeline, and the most recent 10 images on my GAB timeline.

(There is more to it than just the images – for example Bastyon has fully encrypted chat, and GAB has millions of active users)

I don’t think I could post this on hive…. But I posted it on Blurt and got like $1,000

I Created this on picsart using erasers.

666 LOL - but i reckon you could post that on Hive no problem

$1000 for real?

I prefer https://Waivio.com….

No downvotes.

Super nice people.

Even Frot is there … https://www.waivio.com/@frot

I know nothing about this - thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out.

Yes. Everyone is copying Blurt with the “ No Dowvote” innovation. They are ahead of everyone by 2 years it seems. See you over on Waivio.com …. WAIV to the moon…. https://Waivio.com

I looked at Waivo and it seems my rewards are off there like they are on POB - it seems to follow the Hive reward setting?

Only VYB seems to have rewards on while still off in Hive, which is what I need because everything I post gets nuked in Hive if the rewards are on.

Well… 1000 Blurt dollars … so about $ 40 on one post. Crazy amount of crypto for me. Way more than I make on hive. Lol

which subjects are verboten on Hive.

I appreciate your German in that context. I was told the other day that politics is a taboo topic in the biggest German community. It seems pretty dead on hive anyways.

I am unironically that guy on the death bed wishing for more arguing. I love a good discussion in politics even if it gets ugly. Tried to start at Twitter but I keep getting lost in the League of Legends section.

If you find something good to freely discuss politics I would def be open to look into it. But Blurt has like 6 posts total with the tag politics.

I thought the same thing when I saw verboten!

When it comes to "politics" I'm not into the Punch and Judy show, I'm into the globalist agenda, and who is pulling the strings...

I know that conspiracies are your strong suit. I am no big truther myself, but I like to read some every now and then, after all a lot of conspiracies became true.

I've been focusing a lot on "conspiracies" and they have pretty much all come true.

But I take little satisfaction in that now, and hope this year to switch to the outcomes I'd like to see.

If we bring about what we focus on, I need to shift focus. It maybe a bit of a stretch but I like a challenge!

Dear @frot,

Your support for our previous proposal has been much appreciated but it expired end of December!
Do you mind renewing your vote to our proposal for 2022 so our team can continue its work!
You can do it on Peakd, ecency, Hive.blog or using HiveSigner.
https://peakd.com/me/proposals/199

We wish you a Happy New Year!

done again just now

Thank you for your support @frot, much appreciated!

entertaining and educational

Some people will never see the humor around us. Our Korean Broadcasting Station had a comedy skit show that was canceled right after the colona break out. There is so much humor in the irony of closing down comedy in the time of a shut down. If everyone has to stay inside then don't block entertainment.

I could never post the stuff you post. I don't believe much of it but I do believe the point you are making and support that. If people want medical information they should be able to determine what is a viable source. And if an artist chooses to make a statement then it should not be shut down by antiquarkle pions!!

We should really only trust information from verified scientific authorities.

He said "It's OK."

Why should anyone else be given an opportunity to voice their opinion?

yes trust the science...lol...

you could post the stuff i post! - feel the force

I can feel the force.

Hi Frot, me ole mate!
Happy New Year & many of them to you & yours!
I received a gift from Twatter over Xmas 2020 - full deplatforming. I tried to create new accounts later, but was swiftly spotted by the haters and reported, so I gave up with that site.
At 8.10pm on New Year's Eve just past (while I was sending much love to my many followers) I was summarily dismissed by FakeBook and Discord at the same time. Fakebook found my change of IP suspicious and Discord declared that I had posted false and misleading information.
I have been unable to recover either of those accounts despite much patient hoop-leaping ever since.

This leaves me only Hive.blog and email for communication.
I haven't tried either GAB or BASTYON and, tbh, I am reluctant. Why enter the boxing ring with more heavyweights who want to batter fuck out of me? I am just a grannie in Dorset UK after all....

Today, after reading a couple of snidey comments on my articles I am alerted that my Hive.blog account could disappear at any moment. I read the Hive Terms & Conditions - yep.... they can delete our accounts and they don't even need to explain why. Just BISHBASHBOSH YOU ARE DEAD styly!! https://hive.blog/tos.html (see Section 13)

I have looked for a way to safely store my 1,100+ articles or, at least, to download a copy of them as backup but it is beyond my limited IT skills. Do you know if it is possible to make a full copy (as happened when Hive forked from Steem)??
Or must I suffer the total loss of a decade of research if I fall foul of the stalking whales and downvoters?
You know I value your opinions & advice.
Much love, as ever, Fran xx

Wow, that is a harsh start to the new year!

I've long had a strong dislike of Discord which I think is spying on users - but you are the first person I've heard of being kicked off it. You have done well!

Now then, attempting to answer your question:

Storing 1100 articles. Neither Bastyon or Gab would be much help there. But Baston chat is a very good private chat for communicating with other people who are on it. Only catch is that most people don't have accounts on Bastyon and are not used to it. I do think it is genuinely private. Gab has chat too but it is nothing special.

Hive, being a blockchain, in theory can't delete your content. But insiders can downvote you until you have a negaive rep and your pictures dissappear on the Hive front end - you can see that done on one of my burner alt accounts - @pube - over the years lots of accounts on Steemit and Hive have had that done to them.

From there it gets more complex. You can post your content on Wordpress, but if you use their servers they can certainly delete it.

I do use Wordpress myself but I'm hosting it on my own server space I'm renting. But that server is hosted in New Zealand, and can be threatened by the NZ government. I've already been told to remove some content under threat of a 7 year jail term.

I keep backups of all my content on both cloud storage and my own hard drives. If I got wiped I would probably rent server space in Switzerland and repost it there. But even that is not fully secure, if the globalists really want something removed, they can get it deleted in Switzerland too.

Here is a workaround: If you only post on Hive with your rewards turned off, the insiders can't downvote you and take your rep down, So all your old content remains visable on the Hive blockchain.

And if you add the tag #vyb to your posts, even with the Hive rewards turned off, you can still earn VYB tokens. In fact, in those, I'm a whale and can give your posts good upvotes.

So basically, your existing content on Hive is secure if you no longer post with the rewards on in Hive. That is the situation I've found myself in, and that is my best solution. But I'm sure other people could answer this a lot better...

We are being hounded offline, wouldn't you say?
Fascist bullies everywhere, on & off the internet!
My grandparents (RIP) would be shocked that this world has become so hostile towards original thinkers, especially as they trusted Churchill & believed they lived in a "free country"!
Maybe I should take up knitting & crochet like a good obedient grannie?
Now that might be a more relaxing pastime!
Fighting with dyed wool rather than dying fools?

Yes, we certainly are - but in many ways I think that the more they try to censor us the more they help create new uncensored ways to spread information - VYB for example grew out of downvoting on Hive.

And the big platforms like Twatter are driving everone onto other platforms

Wow nice shit load of memes.. Platforms are places you wait for a train I thought.. Anyway I do my posting here on my one account @manorvillemike ))) Other Places, not platforms I spend time on till my eyes get tired are # stripchat and # chaturbate.. Of course I go by other names and have several accounts, to play the field, so to speak.
