But before I get into that....
Below is a gif that's the beginning of a post over on Blurt - an examination of DPoS....(link underneath the gif)
It clears up many points, imo.
The Hive cabal are gonna hate it...Bless.
It's better on Blurt..

Obviously anyone with two eyes and more than half a dozen brain cells, can see exactly whats going on in this place right now.
Myself, 
(read the blurt post ! ^^^).
This is all in an attempt to lower the reputation scores that will, eventually, mean that our accounts are 'disappeared from viewing'.
Control freakazoids, or what? lol
Fortunately for me, I no longer depend on this intellectual vacuum of a site for crypto rewards.(but using my story of hive, off hive for crypto payments...cool uh?)
But , as I posted in my last post - I don't want my reputation downvoted to being 'disappeared' status.
See the screenshots on my post yesterday to see how the really clever people on Hive can do this - simply by upvoting on a comment - and then down voting on it - thus reducing the rep score over time.(and keeping all their inflationary rewards for themselves in the rewards pool to be divvied out later...).
Sneaky little midwits ...'sneakiness' is in their psychological makeup so we shouldn't really be surprised.
On the bright side, they aren't that bright.
At all. (yep, go and read my blurt post!lol)
So:
How to continue using the hive site to post, comment and interact, without the commies tyrants deciding to destroy your reputation score.
EASY!
AND THIS POST IS GONNA BE THE TEMPLATE - a trial run.
This could possibly have much further, wider, implications - ones that I'd never thought about until being forced to look at this issue .....doh!....Yet another case of hive shooting itself in the foot.
Are there awards for incompetency?
If there are , forward the link, and I'll put 'the Hive the cabal' into the hat - they're definitely up for a top three position.
*An artists impression of the Hive cabal's competency.
And yes, I'm laughing at you all so hard, right now...(the material is starting to write itself, at this point).
Moving on..
1/ Denying payouts is obviously the way to go with posts...that's simple enough.
Linking to external sites that won't maliciously attack you for you work and efforts is a good idea to.
Like Blurt for example....It's free advertising.
2/ How to be able to leave comments and interact without the midwit pin brains up voting you - and then down voting you?
(see my post yesterday of this dynamic in action).
Also an easy workaround..... I think.
I need to try it in real time , to see.
So lets do just that, shall we?
It start off with listing those you normally interact with. (this part isn't essential, but after thunking it through for a whole 37 seconds, I think this will save a lot of time going forwards...
So here' my list I chat to on here.
If anyone wants to be added to the list - or I've missed you out - send me a comment!... and you can be added - or not( if you're a wanker).
...that'll do for now- having the full list isnt't that important as it can be added to as and when.
*It's not even necessary- but if you have your list easily available - you can copy and paste quickly to tag a comment...(it will all become clear - I hope).
ok..now its time to do test run...let's pick a post to read and interact on....
Why not pick 
@frot/does-anyone-have-any-good-ideas
So I read the post..._(and the comments)
Btw - Everyone should read the posts comments - and what the midwit sycophantic zombie says (aznobrains)...
Is that an actual real life threat? ..ffs - is he losing what little brains he ever had?
Is that legally actionable?
Is that a reason for the witnesses to take action?(I'd never expect the cabal to ever eat their own - but the optics are very poor for those outside of hive to observe...)
Maybe 
could offer his professional opinion on this - It's crossed a line in my non legal opinion.
Ok, sorry for the detour....
....let's say I want to leave a comment...
(As it refers to this part of the post, just copy and paste, easy peasy - and keeps things clear).
@frot/does-anyone-have-any-good-ideas
Hopefully a new second layer front end will be up and running very soon, because let's face it, Hive is all over for me at this point. I will just do short posts with the rewards turned off and do no comments or replies for a few days and see what happens.
Obviously because each comment is tagged- it will show up in the notifications of the other person. And then they can either continue the chat in your feed as a reply - or not.
The other person could easily copy paste your reply in their reply comment section - then they could reply there - and you will be notified as per usual..
Obviously it's yet to be tried out to see if it's even workable - but I think with a little repetition, it may be more than okay- and MORE IMPORTANTLY- it's a way to stop any change to your rep score through downvoting by the pin brains of the cabal.
*this is the result of a lot of hard work, spanning over 3.5 minutes of my life - so it might need some tweaking!
Suggestions welcome.
I like 'real conversations' such as with 
I'm not a lazy socialist , and am more than prepared to put in that little extra effort for a conversation worth having.
Alternatively, get people over to Blurt to chat, where authoritarian tyranny is not hovering over you.
It starves one beast, while feeding the other, far more healthy and wholesome one.
