As if the red candles were not bad enough, the weekend has reached its peak a couple of hours ago and has become officially my worst weekend for 2024 (so far, Homer Simpson meme style): I have been called out for shit posting.
So, let's analyze the calling out and see if it is justified or not - let's see if GoddessEva is indeed an infamous shit poster throughout the 3-year-Ecency existence.
First thing's first: what is a shit post?
Well, I would say in a couple of words that a shit post is a dumb, low-effort post. A post that's shit. I can also add that it probably is a post that has little meaning, doesn't contribute to the platform on which it was posted, or is just something that was posted to get some attention.
So, now that we have established what a shit post is - and mind you, it sometimes is kinda difficult to explain what exactly is meant as a 'shit post' and not be totally subjective about it, I think I captured the essence of it.
Moving on to the calling out part:
Let's start breaking out the calling out now.
- Shit posting for auto-votes is your prerogative, doing it twice a day is too.
Hmm. Auto-votes is the least of my concerns honestly - I never post in order to obtain votes. I use Ecency as a platform in order to express my thoughts, because it has a lot of people who bare the same interests that I do. If I get upvoted, great. If not, tough luck. I have never asked to be upvoted ever in my 3 years of being a part of the Ecency platform. Only thing I have ever asked was 'why was I downvoted' when a bunch of hypocrites wanted to play cops and robbers because 'my posts were less than 100 words'. So that part of the calling out is... wrong and a lie.
The second part of this first (dare I say it, STUPID) sentence is what got me riled up. A lot. And I do not have a huge temper to say, but still. DOING IT TWICE A DAY.
Twice a day? When have I EVER posted something on Ecency twice a day?
Hell, I never even published a single thing on my blog (goddesseva.net) twice a day. This is the huge problem of the internet nowadays - anyone can call out anyone on anything, without doing any due diligence, without having anything solid - just a person who maybe is having a bad day can go out and call out anyone random on something stupid, a lie, a BLATANT LIE mind you - and of course, no fact-checking can be done easily, so a neutral person reading it cannot have a point of reference without doing some digging on his/her own, which means that esentially - the fake news narrative is growing stronger and stronger every day, and still there is nothing we can do about it.
I have some facts though, since I am the one being called out, and here they are:
- in the last 30 days or so, I have actively contributed 18 posts, of which 16 have been part of my own blog, while 2 were posted on the Foodies Bee Hive community;
- not once have there been two posts in the same day;
- for whomever it may concern - the MATH says that 18/30 is a 0.6 posts/day on average, and if we count it 3 months back that average would be even lower;
- the rewards (AUTO VOTES, THE SCARY AUTO VOTES) have varried, according to the content of the posts: some were good, some not that good, but common thing for them all: THEY ARE GENUINE thoughts of mine that I decided to share with you guys
So, the first sentence of the calling out is not only stupid, but also a blatant lie. And if there is one thing that I absolutely despise - it's liars.
Moving on to the second sentence:
- It might be good for you to answer some of the comments people leave for you though; something you seem disinclined to do.
I have ALWAYS tried my best to communicate with all the people that seem it fit to leave a comment or two on any of my posts. Hell, I even upvote any comment that a person leaves on a post of mine, because it is the least I could do for their efforts - an upvote given does not mean anything to me, but it can make someone's day a bit better.
Sometimes I answer a bit later, but this is because believe it or not, I HAVE A LIFE - I am not someone who spends more than 1-2 hours max/day on a computer.
To further solidify my claims, here is a screenshot of an interraction that I had with a profile who commented on a post of mine:
As a last thing to add to this whole bunch of nonsense - I will ask the lovely guys who have been supportive and quite communicative with my posts, like 
When have I ever ignored an answer of yours to a post of mine? When have I ever failed to upvote a comment of yours? And when have I ever asked for an auto-upvote?
Jesus Christ, I am so pissed off to be called out for this pathetic, blatant nonsense.
It is what it is. Best thing to do is move on and ignore the hypocrites, I know - but I could not move on this time without saying something in my defence.
Hey, even if Ecency is such a wonderful place, beware lovely people: still, even on this lovely platform there are dictators who weild their Hive Power in a bad way, seeking to 'pursue justice' in their nerd-like and geek-like quest to 'purify Hive of the BAD ACCOUNTS' and 'seek quality content'. The downside to Ecency is that there is noone controlling these above mentioned nerds and geeks and the power that they weild - essentially, it comes to a big-d**k competition and that is very wrong. But it is something that unfortunately, we just have to accept I guess.
How to explain to the nerds and geeks that posts from ladies and girls are the absolute highest quality content for ANY SOCIAL NETWORK out there.. any suggestions? 😆
Hope your weekend is a bit better than mine, lovely people. And words of caution - today it was me who got called out.. tomorrow it can be you. :)
