I will admit, humans are too interesting sometimes. Metaphorical chill pills are underrated.

I do think we need a website where all downvotes and mutes can be debated. Out in the open.

I am not trying to be “cute” but that website could be HIVE. The discussions about downvotes seem to be unique to HIVE and are super interesting imo.

For a user to get themselves removed from a banlist, such user needs to get into Discord. I have no problem with that

I have a problem with this. I have seen instances where people are onboarded to discord so they can dispute a HIVE downvote. This is counter intuitive and debatably counter productive. Why are we onboarding people to discord to use HIVE? (I have talked about this to HW on chain and they were respectful in response to my feedback).

I think HW should have a discord because most people prefer to handle drama in discord. HIVE is perpetual so I think it’s wise, to some extent, to try to manage this stuff in discord. That being said, if people only use HIVE and no other form of social media that should be ok!

We pay HW through the DHF which has pros and a con.

1. A pro is “good” stakeholders who operate in good faith, and don’t treat HW like an alien, can have good discussions with HW on their process.

2. A pro is people who downvote can go on vacation and HW can keep doing their thing.

3. A con is we pay for HW through HIVE inflation.

I have no problem with point 3 because vacations are nice.

Thanks for stopping by! I am always excited to see a new person come by and leave a comment (assuming it’s not AI spam to get upvotes). 😆

If you are talking about a different downvote list, not sure what to do about that. People who downvote get put on downvote lists by people that don’t like downvotes (seems circular and potentially perpetual 😅)
