Hive morning chats: The idea of curating people

@acidyo: Yes, this happens quite naturally I think and autovotes also work well for this until good people become lazy maximizers, hence it's up to curators at some point too to make sure a lot of rewards aren't being farmed in different ways. Ask yourself how many of authors who may post daily and often get autovoted ever forfeit any rewards or downvote themselves if they feel they got overrewarded.

@friendlymoose: The discussion is really going on now, good to see. Nice to see your contribution to the discussion in these videos. I don't think I would upvote people with content I'm not interested in. Even though they might have put a lot of effort in it. I think it would be better if we could have people who do like the content to see it in their stream. I have my own cycling community which is a niche on Hive and every now and then someone finds the community they didn't knew existed. I'm working on a plan with @ecoinstant to provide this. More about it will follow later this week. I will mention you in the announcement since you'd probably like the idea too.

@quark.top: Curating quality people versus content. This makes a lot more sense to me, @meno, than whatever you would call the marketing I saw when I first discovered Hive. Very frankly, the various ways this game or again whatever else someone wants to pretend it is instead, was a significant impediment to my own decision in deciding whether or not participating myself was a good investment of time. Still seriously reflecting on what I am going to do, in my personal response to this discovery, this reaction, and this description of what Hive truly is, at least in the eyes of another long term Hivian, I found your main point to be more encouraging. "Do not hesitate to leave us some feedback, negative, postive, it doesn't matter." Okay. I will then ask you a straight up question. From your experience base of years on the Hive blockchain, how common and genuine is this viewpoint with other accounts? Particularly with those one might call "controlling interest" accounts? Specifically, contrasting it with what one might call the "echo chamber" variety of most of the interactions I have read? For your encouragement, perhaps, you have my attention, for the time being. Why? You give the impression of being intellectually honest. You openly solicit differing opinions, as one example. Maybe you are just very clever in disguising a different underlying mindset. I do not know, as consistency over time is not something I can comment on, being new here. A short video clip like this one is not a major investment of time. 90 minutes to watch or listen to the one you reference? More problematic. Given how long you have been active on the Hive blockchain, you have an experience base which many other accounts do not. One could then reasonably assume you know what you are talking about, when it comes to your Hive blockchain references. You have demonstrated your words mean something, as you have chosen to invest at least a bit of your time in engaging with my account. I could characterize this further, but I'll refrain. With your creation of this post appearing to be a nice start to it, I hope the rest of your day is equally productive and constructive.

@por500bolos: Of course, the "social" dynamic at Hive is and always has been about curating "People" and not curating content. What can be clearly observed in the context of who's the biggest sycophant in their greedy, hypocritical and fake interactions within the content of others or their online conversations with others through impersonal chat apps as Discord, Telegram, Whatsapp and whatnot. Being "sociable" you know? After all, this is supposedly a "Social Network" to earn rewards and make money online isn't it? Therefore, what many here in Hive ignore. Being Hive an online/virtual/digital place. Is the fact that the vast majority of those who participate and interact daily on Hive with the people and/or their content don't actually know each other personally. At least not in a close, physical, and intimate way that would really allow them to determine and ensure that what they occasionally show and reveal to us as their way of being and thinking, in the way they supposedly behave, and in what they post, say, and the way they say it, is truly authentic. Of course, this is nothing new. This obviously happens in the real world as well. The only difference is that in the real world, face to face, not everyone succeeds in showing their best version of who they supposedly are so frequently. For the simple fact that their body language and their ability to look directly into the eyes of their interlocutors when they speak, generally reveals who they really are and what their true intentions are when they interact with us. Hence, it is much more difficult for them to deceive, trick, and defraud us. And when things like these happen and we know they really exist, I have no doubt whatsoever that what most people truly "curate" in Hive are no more than a bunch of temporary illusive avatars that dilute and fade over time or disappear immediately when you personally encounter or stumble upon them in the real world. Since most of them hardly have any content worth to "curate" interacting with them IRL.

@atma.love: Ongoing peer reviews of anonymous members as part of a Trusted Reputation system is essential for Decentralized Community Governance. Anonymity is essential for Autonomy & for non violence.

@eddiespino: I agree. This is why I love the favorites feed. You can have a list of users and manually check what they are posting. The only thing is that it has not been working lately, so sometimes I miss the content.

@buttcoins: Quality content to me is a reaction video of a guy’s reaction to a guy reacting to a guy playing a video game. More of that POB please!

@ecoinstant: What a !PIMP and I guess .... !PIZZA ? I think we gonna do more of this comment command curation here in a bit, trying to get used to it.

@steevc: I do really care about the people here and Hive is so small that a lot of us know each other. The atmosphere will change if we ever get to millions of users.

@bpcvoter1: Addressing the Downvote Issue on Hive: It’s Time for Real Change Let’s cut through the noise and address one of the most pressing issues holding Hive back from reaching its full potential: abusive downvotes . The Bipcoin team has consistently exposed the systemic problems that stifle growth on this platform, yet little to no action has been taken. If Hive is to thrive, we must confront these challenges head on instead of engaging in empty discussions that lead nowhere. Hive cannot grow if nothing changes. How can new users and smaller creators flourish when they are constantly suppressed by those who exploit the system? Many so called “whales” contribute nothing meaningful to the ecosystem—instead, they focus solely on farming rewards through manipulative tactics like mass self voting, spam content, or coordinated downvoting campaigns. These actions discourage genuine participation and erode trust within the community. Blockchain transactions don’t lie. We’ve seen firsthand the shady methods used to game the system—whether it’s creating alt accounts to amplify votes, orchestrating downvote brigades, or hoarding influence without giving back to the network. Why does this behavior continue unchecked? Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words, and until concrete steps are taken to address these abuses, Hive will struggle to move forward. We have repeatedly presented evidence of these practices, not to divide but to demand accountability. The truth is out there for anyone willing to look at the data. Yet, despite our efforts, the cycle persists. Today, we’re asking again: Can we finally talk about the real issues plaguing Hive? And more importantly, can we take decisive action to protect the integrity of this platform? Do not let bullies destroy what makes Hive special. Abuse of power through downvotes and manipulation harms everyone—creators, curators, and the community as a whole. It’s time to fight back against these toxic practices and create an environment where all voices can be heard and rewarded fairly. The Bipcoin team remains committed to exposing the truth and advocating for meaningful change. But we can’t do it alone. Together, let’s push for solutions that ensure Hive becomes a place of opportunity, fairness, and growth—for everyone. Enough talk. Let’s see action.
