I understand your concerns but I'm not sure how to I interpret them.

If we try to make a happy and friendly social experience on layer 1 - what would you recommend? How do you propose to convince people to stop being assholes?

Why don't we just kill the hive.blog dream and say HIVE is a place to build your own community (like leofinance.io)?

If the tech allows me to say anything, some percentage of people are going to say mean things. If we have consensus mechanisms like up and down voting, some amount of people are going to say mean things while they use these mechanisms.

Its not that I don't want a solution, I just don't see what it could be without limiting freedom.

I am fully aware that one or more assholes, major stake assholes, could be a type of attack against this tech becoming popular.

But whats the layer 1 solution? On layer one wars can be fought, layer 2 can wall their gardens up however they want.
