Hi, by the way: Notifications do not work on blurt.blog
They work from here. Maybe switching to a different RPC node in the settings will fix the problem.
Thanks!
Cool, I have not heard about this fork before. Once the witnesses are up to date, will they bring it to the rest of the community for discussion? Wow, this is #9? I guess we've been through a few of these.
And, to fit in with the spam comments left previously, I feel the need to say... "I think all witnesses should work together to see good things in Blurt and support the community." Now I'm one of the cool kids : )
Yes, we will post about this again to keep everyone informed of our progress.
I am also hearing about it for the first time. Quite interesting to have read and know some few things about it
I think all the witnesses should come together.
Me too, and personally I think we should be able to contact all of them at a moments notice. So for example if I ping a Witness, and we also run a Witness node, then I should be able to get a reply from that witness in less than 24 hours MAX.
I already sent you a message.
I think all users need to work together to improve Blurt, especially those who have witnesses. If everyone works together, we will see something good in Blurt, thank you.
Absolutely 💪
I think all users should work together to improve the site, especially those who have testimonials. If we all work together, we can all see good things in Blart, we will all try to move forward and provide good things for all users.
Yes indeed 💪
I strongly believe if all the witness can come together it will.go a long way for the platform
I really like all your ideas. But it would be even better if you could bring a reputation system with these.
I will never propose or support a reputation system. Basically, I will fight it until the last minute.
This is one of the most corrupt things on hive and is directly related to downvoting and indirectly to the so-called Social credit system which is an oppressive tool for controlling population and combating freedom of speech.
Everyone makes their own reputation about individuals and there is no such thing as an objective reputation.
When in ordinary situations such a system may seem useful because there are basically no important topics to censor and people behave relatively rationally. In situations such as during a pandemic, the vast majority of society manipulated by the media hates people who tell the truth because they themselves are manipulated and it is in such situations that the reputation system shows its true face when the manipulated crowd in a fit of panic and hysteria caused by the media, by itself allows itself to stigmatize people who think differently precisely through systems such as reputation systems or shadowban and silencing tools, creating a self-censoring system that is unable to defend itself against media manipulation because it silences the voices of reason by itself.
The introduction of such functionalities is a denial of one of the basic functions that, in my opinion, blurt fulfills, i.e. the function of a free and unrestrained medium for transmitting information whatever it may be, so that everyone can find out the opinion of everyone else if they want to, without making it difficult for some groups to reach the rest with their views.
And it is precisely for crisis situations in which the truth is fought by the mainstream with all severity that it is most important for social discussion to be as unrestrained as possible.
We got rid of the reputation system in one of the early hard forks. It was either in HF 1 or HF 2 if I'm not mistaken.
We will never suggest adding a reputation system to Blurt. You don't have to worry about that. I think most witnesses (if not all) on Blurt will agree on this point.
yes I know and that makes me very happy. I'm just replying @rex-kibreay to point that out :)
I will also say I will not agree with the reputation system. I think it is pretty nice right now with everyone not having a reputation attached to their username
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Thank you :)
I don't ever want to see a Hive-style reputation scoring system again though. It brings a lot of butt-kissing imo, and removes a persons real opinion about a post or comment.
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Thank you for allowing me to disagree and share my opinion ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fiddle too with the user's rewards back to getting 75% of post rewards, after all it was the idea of Hive Oligarchs.
Fuck Hive, I came here because I would like to see a socialfi chain with no oligarchs, oligarchs that are losing control and/or the impossibility of oligarchs being able to even form on the chain. To that, if you have ideas to move Blurt even closer to that goal, I am all ears seriously.
Blurt is the closest thing I have found, but if there are ways of decentralising it even more, then that is the direction I'd like us to move in.
Well let's see whether it will be a good decision actually
