Sorry for commenting a bit late,
but I wanted to come here and express my support.
Ever since I joined HIVE (back when it hadnβt even forked from STEEMIT yet), abuse has always been a difficult problem. Plagiarism, article spinning, machine translation, identity impersonation, SPAMβthese issues kept emerging endlessly. No matter how many times they were addressed, they would come back again, giving everyone headaches.
Although I couldnβt fight abuse across the entire HIVE ecosystem, I have always tried my best to keep #cn and later the HIVE Chinese community clean. Because of that, I offended quite a lot of people.
Some even made death threats in QQ groups, put bounties on my personal information, saying they would come to my home and kill me. Some were long-time online friends who completely broke ties with me. Others secretly cursed or insulted me behind my back. There were so many incidents like these that Iβve lost count.
Between 2017 and 2020, the abuse was really overwhelmingβwe simply couldnβt deal with it all. In fact, because token prices dropped, the amount of abuse on HIVE has decreased significantly. Of course, many friends on HIVE, including hivewatchers, have been working hard to fight abuse, and their efforts have been quite effective.
Naturally, some people have different views on what counts as abuse. For example, does AIGC count as abuse? Just because I chose to support hivewatchers on this issue, I lost many witness votes. And yes, there is still a bot opposing hivewatchers that downvotes the posts of hivewatchers supporters every day.
So achieving a complete anti-abuse environment is truly difficult and exhausting. Thatβs why I deeply resonate with what you wrote in your post, and I wanted to come here specially to show my support.
Well I can tell you I lost people I thought were friends over this too. I even told people my project would not be forever and it still wasn't enough.
One positive thing about this downvote project was I have been able to make new "friends," on chain, with people who care about abuse. Many of these people helped me cope throughout this process. To this day, people like yourself are reaching out to me. I do really appreciate it and it means a lot.
I did not appreciate the mental and physical drain fighting abuse has on people; but I did the project and now I have a new perspective.
I do not believe "abuse" on HIVE will ever end. I think this primarily because what we define as "abuse" is heavily influenced by stakeholders. The opinions of stakeholders and the amount of stake they have is constantly changing. So I think the definition for "abuse" will always change.
Losing some βfriendsβ is indeed sad, but if those friends were only connected with you for their own interests, then itβs better not to keep them.
Making new friends, however, is truly a joyful experience, and I sincerely wish you meet many genuine new friends.
Because of the language barrier (I mainly speak Chinese), I donβt have many friends on Hive. But recently, with the help of translation tools, Iβve been trying to read some English posts and learn more about others. Through this, Iβve made many new friends and discovered just how wonderful and exciting the world can be.
Regarding abuse on Hive, I also believe it will never completely disappear. As long as there is profit to be made, some people will always try to exploit the system.
But donβt try to solve everything all at once β this is a long-term battle. So take a break when you need to, and donβt exhaust yourself.

I am really glad that you act around here⦠quite often i see people trying to post in chinese using ai probably just to farm votes from you guys
Many members of the CN community have sharp eyes, and no abuse can escape their notice. They will notify everyone in a WeChat group so it can be handled.
Of course, if you find anything weβve missed, feel free to leave a message or contact me at any time so we can take care of it.
