Now I'm curious. There are over 500 people who bother to mute someone? Am I one of them? I don't mute that many people

I've muted some annoying accounts. It's mainly the bots that I don't need to see notifications for. I bet a lot of people don't even realise they can mute.

Looks like I am muted by only one person with a negative reputation. I must be too small or not too annoying :)

steevc 2 days ago

I'm sure you could piss off a few more :) I've been pretty active and dealt with a few abusers, so I have to expect this. I love that we can track all these things.

Thanks for the tool from @oflyhigh. I might've seen it before, but forgot about it. 4 accounts muted me, one of them with negative reputation. I guess that's ok.

I didn't see the post with the podium finish for the biker sponsored by Hive. Well, that is a good exposure, especially if it was televised.

Thanks for sharing everything!

Cheers. We can't see all that goes on as there just isn't time. I'm sure I'll learn more from your latest post.

I have a feeling BTC is going to toy around with us for a bit before it finally crosses that line. I'm glad someone finally wrote for front end for the mutes. I had my python code that checked for that, but it wasn't quite as user friendly.

What BTC is irrelevant to me directly, but it will have knock-on effects. I think there ought to be more interest in coins with utility and to drive better results for those who have less. Pure self-interest can be toxic.

I think the regime change over the water might mean some good times ahead for crypto. Although that 100K seems hard to break. Maybe when it does it will go crazy onwards!

I will have a look at the mute tool. I used to always like them!

Lol, I checked. It's mostly scammers and folk from blurt that haha muted me 🤣🤣

Haha muted by one person with a reputation of minus 2.5. Wow aren’t they lovely.

It’s a good thing I bought 1 bitcoin in 1992 lol!! I can’t remember when it all started but I’ve got 20000 sats! 9 quid!

I forgot about the mute option. I'll keep it in mind, mainly for bots. I was thinking about the daily report from @commentrewarder Has it some utility to upvote those posts? I mean, giving a daily payout to commentrewarder could improve its work somehow?

I'm not sure of their economics, but they are boosting rewards to people who engage with my posts. It's easier for me than doing it myself.

xplosive 2 days ago

You may earn a little less, but spreading the rewards helps keep people engaged.

Even though I am also trying Comment Rewarder on some of my posts, this is really not the way on a properly working social network.

On a properly working social network, people are actually there for the content.

They use the platform naturally.

They write a comment, because they are actually interested in the content.

And not because there is a financial incentive to it.

And neither because another person wrote a comment under their posts.

On a properly working social network, no one asks how many comments did you wrote under other people's posts.

Because it does not matter.

What really matters is the real, actual interest in the content.

Which nowadays I very rarely see on the Hive blockchain.

Yeah, we've had this conversation before.

properly working social network

What even is that? This is a form that has only existed for about 20 years. I'd say FB fails as it bombards you with crap and so I hardly use it. I got off Twtr as the new owner made it toxic. Google has shut down several platforms that I used. So I have little trust in corporations in this field.

I get comments that engage with what I post, so I am happy here. Maybe the problem is the content rather than the community.

Hive has plenty of issues though. The community is tiny, so there's not enough consumers for all the creators. I think it's more a scale issue than a concept one.

Rewards are the USP here.

On the whole I am happy on Hive and I hope you can be too.

It sure is crazy to see BTC closing in on 100k. I knew it would happen, and I remember in 2017/2018 when it hit around 17,000. I then thought it was a one off, and this was it (when it went down to around 3-4k). Then... it happened again. Up to around 60k. Now... well... here we go again. I didn't buy too much over time. Seems odd now, of course I wish I did haha

LOL I have been blocked by 3, I copied a bit from one of them, her post reads

"In my 5th year here it's now the second time I feel like quitting. If my content hasn't attracted whales so far it probably never will."

Is that what it is all about? fucking enjoy the hive for what it is.... she sounds like a fame hungry needy cash whore.

Ha! Some people just don't get it.
