Don't mistake me, I'm not defending anyone or criticising you. Just attempting to point out that we rarely know anyone fully on here or their motives. They likely feel like they're doing the right thing, whether they are or not. It's certainly not how I would approach things and I appreciate you sharing your point of view.
That other account is plain peculiar, but we've encountered these sorts of things on Hive before, haven't we. I suspect we'll encounter them again as well. Do we become dicatators and shut them down or try to find ways to mitigate the damage?
I know what people choose to show me. That's the best I can do. As for being a dictator, I am a triple dolphin on Hive with a powerful voice in real life, and an equally memorable communication style in print. I'm a professional. In my home city, when the powers-who-think-they-be try to do things against the neediest, based on the same colonizing and enslaving playbook, they find out that I know that playbook and will show up and wrap them up in it. I am consistent everywhere. On my watch, no one will find me silent while they do a reign of terror on Hive based on demonic concepts against human beings who have the right to do what they wish with their own rewards. I already know what would have happened by now. I watched Plonkety Piano attack the account of someone who powered down to get resources to save someone else's life -- I already know what the plan was.
I am ONLY talking on Hive about these matters for now, because we are somewhere below 138K users. The lowest figure I have now heard is a mere 5,000 users. We do not need one more piece of bad press. We do not need one more person leaving here talking about being abused. Krampus is, AT BEST, a centuries-old European concept of abuse of human beings -- Europe's own children, before getting to Africa, Asia, and the Americas and their children. There is no way around that fact. Plonkety Piano is an image of abuse, and was used just for that. There is no way around that fact. I will not be silenced -- I am an Amazon best-selling crypto author, so I can talk much more widely than this. But I'm not doing that because I hope that Hive will choose not to adopt abusive imagery and practices on top of the problems we already have.
