Öffentliche Verleumdung / Erpressung - der digitale Pranger- brauchen wir das auf Hive?
Ich könnte jetzt Beispiele zeigen, sei es Screenshots or posts, wo Hive Nutzer bedroht und persönlich angegriffen werden. Bezweifle, dass dieses an den Pranger gestellt werden gut für eine Community ist, die auf innovativen, positiven Gedanken aufgebaut wurde.
Wollen wir Leute in eine gewisse Ecke drängen, nur weil jemand deren Inhalte oder sie als Person nicht leiden kann, sie weghaben möchte und damit zeigen will, dass er/sie/es besser ist als andere - ist das gut?
Ist dies die Freiheit die wir bei Hive möchte? Ich finde es prima, dass man hier seine Meinung kundtun darf / soll ohne Zensur. Aber soll das alles ohne Konsequenzen sein?
Wenn spannend kann ich gerne einen weiteren Post liefern mit heftigen Attacken, die mich echt bewegen. An mir perlen solche Sachen ab, aber man verjagt dadurch potentielle Investoren und Nutzer - aber das scheint manchen scheissegal zu sein.

I read often about it recently
Some actors mention they plan publishing shaming on Hive towards other users if they do not what certain actors want - which comes close to blackmailing. But why do people do that? (A dedicated post on the WHY will follow soon if you are interested)
What is blackmailing?
The best source is probably Wikipedia - just an excerpt that is valid for the US:
Blackmail is a criminal act of coercion using a threat.
As a criminal offence, blackmail is defined in various ways in common law jurisdictions. In the United States, blackmail is generally defined as a crime of information, involving a threat to do something that would cause a person to suffer embarrassment or financial loss.

Embaressment as main part - come on Hive :-)
Sad that this is often used on Hive especially by whales that fear to lose their power over brains - not talking about staked power. Some have massive stake Hive Power and use it for positive but sometimes also for negative things.
Shall we really allow this and just ignore this given disagreement could result in a dwnvote???
Ok - Using stake / Hive Power to downvote content is allowed, anyone can do with their stake where they see fit - no problem. But some mis-use this for personal venedatta cmapaighns all the time - they even communicate they do something good for the platform by flagging others as they would be farmers or so (but the real reasons are different). If the victims say something against they often are called out or commented with BS such as "Stop whining lol" or "You farm rewards, "You are a racist", my fvourite is "You are a dead weight".*
Well that is the easy one - but one could also deep dive into this a bit more and question if this is good for the platform here which was innovative and tries to stand for the good in terms of social media (while I do not consider Hive as a social media platform and am a fan of getting rid of rewarding content on layer 1 as I communicated pretty often since several years.)
Can or should we stop this personal flag war abuse?
No - we can NOT as long as the system is desigend as it is.I am totally open for a de-centralized approach but our DPoS chain is simply not de-centralized or just to a certain extent.
