"You're not on Discord? That's where is all goes down!"
Those are the words from 
Even during my early days on steemit in 2017. People there were always saying, "let's talk on discord". At the time I never understood why that was so important. I've been told many times over the years that I'm about as honest, direct, and genuine as you get in this day in age. I'm a horrible liar and simply don't feel good being deceitful.
I enjoy and feel good about posting and commenting on the blockchain for all to see, perfectly transparent. I have nothing to hide. I thought you were supposed to converse on the "social media" blockchain, that way people can up-vote you too, and you can share information with everyone and they too can chime in on the "social media" blockchain!
I've always thought my presence there was to use the blockchain as the communication interface, not a totally separate platform. Why on earth is so much conversation on Hive actually not taking place on Hive? But instead a platform that is designed for private discrete conversations?
You can even see it here on Discord's homepage. (Image credit: discord)
"imagine a place where just you and a handful of friends can spend time together." Sounds like the total opposite of Hive, Blurt, or Steemit. Yet this is the preferred place for many on Hive to spend their time socializing. A private place, for just you and a few friends to talk privately. A place where you can keep secrets, plan, plot, scheme, abuse, threaten, and more without being seen on the public blockchain.
Now, I'm no fool. I understand some topics are personal and are only to be shared privately. But what I've seen on Hive especially after doing some research shows an entirely different picture; a true need for secrecy. The phrase
What the heck does that mean? What the heck is going down on discord? All the backroom shady deals? All the planning and scheming? The truth shared between the few, and a BS narrative for the masses to be misled and taken advantage of? Or maybe a private reaming, graveling, and boot licking session for the down-voted? Coordinated attacks on targeted accounts? Or how about racist attacks like I experienced in the Hive Watchers discord server like this one.
This really does not have to be a long post and maybe we should just wrap it up with a display of screen shots showing how they operate. Especially the down-vote enforcement arm of the "hive cabal" called hive-watchers.
This group who was voted into power and funded by the top witnesses on Hive use a satanic occult owl as their logo for Christ sake! It's led by another anonymous faceless top witness who goes by the bizarre name of 
Here is a reply from an attempt of
Now see top hive witness 
It's "logical" to take engagement off the blockchain?.....%80 of hive is on Discord? What?....
What kind of culture of secrecy do they have going on over there?
The "hive cabal" are mostly anonymous accounts. For Anonymous Marky Mark to spin this like it's a good thing is remarkable. What is "going down" that is so private that 80% of engagement/discussion needs be done on a private chat platform not Hive "social media" blockchain?
Until next time I will NOT see you on Discord. I'll see you on Blurt! Hope you all are having a wonderful day!
