Development Update: New UI Features

in blurt •  2 years ago

Voting Modal

We have added new improvements to the modal to show Vote Weight (WV), Voting Power (VP) and Fee. This update gives you the maximum amount of info you need to fine-tune your voting.

Self-Sovereign Blogs (Personal Communities)

In anticipation of the next 100K users to join Blurt, we have developed the self-sovereign blog concept, which in essence allows users to have greater control over their personal blog space.

This feature opens up the ability for self-moderation of one's own comment space, this addition will be crucial for businesses and families joining Blurt, both of which may require a santised discussion.

The change is at the frontend level and does not affect the blockchain, and includes the automatic enhancement of the mute feature to extend beyond the author to his audience as well. In this update, any user muted by the author will not have their comments visible in the comments thread of the author's blog post. This applies whether readers are logged in or not.

Essentially, in the absence of the community module, this feature allows bloggers to create their own personal community.

To prevent wasted fees on posting comments that will be rendered invisible, the comment option is greyed out for muted parties and replaced with the "Reply Disabled" text.

Muted parties can still circumvent this by posting a comment via CLI or via a frontend that has not adopted these changes, however, the comment still won't show up on the frontends that have updated to add this feature.

It is very important to note that muted parties will still be able to post their own blog posts as normal and comment in the comments threads of users that have not muted them.

Pro tip: If you want to check your current mute list, please check out your settings page from the menu or modify and use this link using your username instead https://blurt.blog/@yourusername/settings

In future, we would like to expand the self-sovereign blog concept by adding the ability for the author to pin the most relevant comments under his post as well as parents being able to assign their own mute list to child accounts via the child account's active key and present the child only with the posting key.


Please enjoy the new changes which hopefully will give you the peace of mind to invite your larger network to the Blurt blogging space.

Sincerely,

The Blurt Core Team

On paper(in theory or design), I feel this is a correct step towards the right direction in the absence of communities. Looking forward to feedback on how users find the new feature.

I don't see the Vote Weight, no matter how I zoom it. That's from my browser in pc.

This is how it looks on my device.

It's a PC. Standard one with motherboard, hard drive, and processor and ram and screen. SSD. NVIDIA and stuff. And I use google chrome. Now it's a bit better, but still I like it more before when not everything was in one line.

Did you try refresh?

Of course. It's even getting worse especially when I zoom in to see better. The first one was 100% zoom. And now look at what happen when I zoom 125% :

Did you do a HARD refresh? Sometimes even that doesn't clear everything - try a manual clear-cache. Even get rid of the cookies! a spring clean.

Cleaned everything including cookies. All the data, but nothing changed :

Why do not just put them one of the top of another. Everything in one line is what making it that way.

Hi, first clear the cache, then if still the issue, let me know.

We are still experimenting with design and may change again

screen resolution?

Is it working ? ,.. am i gone ?

This is what I have to do. I assume it is due to my cache/cookie preferences and have found if I open a link (say like replies or notification) in a new tab the issue fixes itself.

Yeah for some reason whenever we change css features, it requires one to manual clear cache their side

any user muted by the author will not have their comments visible in the comments thread of the author's blog post. This applies whether readers are logged in or not.

This makes a lot of sense.

Everywhere else in the blogging world one has the ability to moderate their comment section, so this is a great addition.

  ·  2 years ago  ·  

Hello,
long time not having had an exchange with you.

I am not sure about this feature, though. If you like, read my comments here, they are all over the place. lol

I see the comment section not as "mine". It's public. Mine is the content of my blogpost-page, if you will but shall I have control over the comments made (leaving out spam and such)?

I see the comment section not as "mine". It's public. Mine is the content of my blogpost-page, if you will but shall I have control over the comments made (leaving out spam and such)?

You are well within your rights to see the comment section attached to your post in that way and hold just as valid a position as one who doesn't see it in that way and would prefer not to engage in debates or name calling or whatever it is they are not wishing to deal with in their comment sections.

In the blogging world it is a standard feature for the blog author to moderate (control) the comment section. This is not an aberration within the sphere of blogging, the aberration was actually not having that ability present.

I imagine the same is probably possible in the realm of social media (Fakebook etc) where one has the ability to block others from probably even seeing their postings.

I respect your view of the comment section and I respect the views of those who would have more control over theirs.

Having said that, here is where I believe I align more with the not muting advocates.

There will obviously be more potential in the non moderated comment sections for ignorance to be shed as it is more conducive to more thorough examinations to be held. This will be a magnet for those who seek such ground, but because nothing changed for them it already was.

Those who wish a more moderated (protected) area to navigate in, they likely wouldn't have ventured to much into those types of areas to begin with.

I suspect not a lot has really changed with this feature for most, and those most impacted it was due to their seeking to engage another in a battle of wits the other wasn't welcome to having. The person in this scenario who would be impacted could always just write on the topic on their own blog and say whatever they need to say and allow the freer more lively examination to take place there.

And yes, it's been awhile. I hope all has been well with you and yours?

  ·  2 years ago  ·  

Thank you, I am well and so are my man and son. We still are on vacation. How is it for you now after some month in your new location?

I welcome the fact that you broaden your perspective to the fact that in the course of what we perceive overarching as cancel culture can be seen in the muting function.

Whenever I am able to take some distance from individual comment exchanges (which I also experience as very counterproductive in their emotional expressions), I would still say that it is the provocateurs, the satirists and even the ruffians who save the rest of the users (public) from the fact that some online forum operators are all too quick and convinced to introduce certain central features.

I make a distinction here between what I as an individual perceive on the part of the provocateurs as exaggerated, morally offensive or otherwise overstepping the bounds of good taste, and what such voices do beyond that.
They are the sand in a gearbox that otherwise purrs on without correction or reconsideration of its own actions, possibly without realising that functional expansions or changes could be the gateway to totalitarian and oppressive developments (though, interestingly enough, they also can be a cause for such steps - but then further questions need to be asked why that may be so).

The dispute as something positive, with sufficient distance to the disputants. It is often those who made themselves most unpopular who nevertheless also spoke in favour of the many others, I think.


I once ran a Wordpress blog myself and had very lively exchanges with my visitors there. There was one who kept coming back and annoying me. At the time I thought what an idiot he was, yet I got involved in debates with him. Many years later I realised that he was quite right in important aspects with his argumentation (which was often insulting and very direct). I didn't like to see that at the time. However, one's own vanity and the fact that one would much rather be confirmed than criticised is much less helpful (echo chamber) than such voices that use a sharp or provocative tone.

It takes a certain tenacity and stubbornness to take on the role of the fool and the harasser who will not be chased away, insulted or otherwise talked to. Few people want to see any valuable potential in that because what these guys say in public can be so offensive.

... But they are a symbol and mirror for all of us who are used to suppressing our needs and often just pretending to be mostly reasonable when we are not. Those types who do so, may be seen as the sum of many oppressed voices and of course, they also overdo it (how can it be otherwise?)

Does that make sense to you?

It does.

I think there is room for both depending on what the purpose of the person is. And those of us willing to allow voices into our topics freely will gain the most at times for sure.

I liken it to when I was defending the VTS here against some of the whales. I don't personally use them and believe they are short sighted (the same in most cases with the super mute feature we have now) but I defend anothers right to use it and have it available if they wish.

Many of the folks who would be more prone to being put on one of these mute lists were part of my circles back on Steem and then Hive. The one most likely to be on one of these lists came here specifically because I asked him to.

He wrote a counter to this post, and made a hilarious picture of me that I would guess those who would use such a mute feature would find deserving of such. While I wasn't offended and still laugh every time I see this picture, I know there are lots of folks out there who would get offended. But really, that is a reflection on them (as is comments made in posts).

Oh, here is the post I was telling you about.

https://blurt.blog/blurtnews/@practicalthought/rfvvn2

I smile thinking about you hosting a blog on WordPress with an open and lively comment section. I wonder if your antagonist still wonders about you, and if you ever came around to the positions you say now were right.

Many folks who use WordPress utilize their moderation of the comment section. I'm curious now as to what sort of site you ran that was the impetus for such lively examination.

Glad the family is doing well, but you left out your brother. I hope he is also doing well.

  ·  2 years ago  ·  

I've wondered the same thing a few times when digging through old publications. In part, I find my earlier outpourings quite naive. This naivety is what my opponent also called "wishful thinking" and I have to agree with him, because they were. Many years have passed since then and I have become much more thoughtful about what I write. My style has changed more towards self-reference and I don't scatter as many assumptions about the world as I once did. I've lost a certain rock-solid conviction about this, which on the one hand I welcome, but on the other hand, if taken the wrong way, can be viewed as misguided indifference.

Some of my responses to comments are sharp and to the point, but few actually took offence to that at the time, in fact it seems to have been welcomed.

My blog was very issue specific and pointed in its focus. For this reason I gave up on it one day, because you can only write about a topic to a limited extent without repeating yourself.

Today, it is no longer possible for me to write so unambiguously, to be so overly convinced of something, because that is exactly what has started to bother me a lot. I guess that's called polarising. I have developed an aversion to it. "Only the mad knows no doubt" is more like something I can underline with conviction! HaHa!

I had full control as a moderator of my blog, but even then I did not delete anyone or deny access to the comment section. I don't expect to have unwanted visitors permanently, because on the one hand I'm not very receptive to them and on the other hand I blog too rarely respectively I'm not a big player, so I'm not a point of attraction either.

Thanks, my brother is okay. However, you haven't told how you are doing in your current environment. :)

I maybe come back to you after reading what you've recently posted.

I'm not a big player, so I'm not a point of attraction either.

I marvel at times how we often don't grasp how others see us. I've mentioned before I don't always agree with you, yet the way your mind works coupled with the way you can articulate it is a work of art. I've witnessed the reactions of others over time as well and there are many who see over the heads of those with their heads turned down who appreciate their exchanges with you as well.

Thanks, my brother is okay.

Thank you.

However, you haven't told how you are doing in your current environment. :)

I'm still trying to find my place here. I've been taking steps to set up something new business wise that I hope I can use to free myself once again. I've spent many hours over the last week and a half educating myself and have ideas taking shape on how to incorporate past knowledge with the new knowledge to create something new for myself. A lot of words without saying a whole lot, I know. I tend to keep much of my doings to myself online so as not to doxx myself.

Thank you for asking (again). :)

  ·  2 years ago  ·  

Thank you, I take it as a compliment.
It's quite difficult to remain in a status where my blog posts are not commented like they used to be (when the readership is huge) and still have faith that there are people out there who read my articles as well as my comments and find them valuable (without me knowing of this fact). So I am graceful to be reminded of that.

When I look at your exchanges it gives me also reassurance that there are people out there who take the risk of not being always liked. One gets more aggressive or insulting reactions but I assume you are welcoming the fact that disagreement is a learning ground for you, too.

A lot of words without saying a whole lot, I know

HaHa! Yes! 😂

lololol.....seriously?....

Said no one in the world ever, who enjoys the free exchange of thoughts, ideas, and opinions.

  ·  2 years ago  ·   (edited)

Yes, seriously. But you asked this rhetorically as we have interacted enough over the years for you to know I'm mostly a serious person.

Said no one in the world ever, who enjoys the free exchange of thoughts, ideas, and opinions.

Not true. Wordpress is a great example of this. The highest percentage of blogs use the WordPress structure for blogging. Most bloggers choose to moderate their comment sections to stop both spam and gaslighting.

In your part where you say

who enjoys the free exchange of thoughts, ideas, and opinions.

should be qualified for such things as a time and a place.

It seems a fair assumption that most don't enjoy having their character and beliefs torn apart. Especially if they know if they engage in the conflicting approaches/views there will be no agreement. Most folks aren't looking for an endless debate over their views. Especially if the tone and approach by the ones presenting a counter come across as condescending and superior. They just want to have their little corner and collect others of like mind (bubbles, water rising to its own level, however one wishes to name it).

I believe this water rising to its own level tendency occurs everywhere, even in the so called truther communities. We are each drawn to the things that interest us, and many are not drawn to divisive areas that are often crossed into when free exchanges of ideas take place.

I've never felt much of a burden myself in needing to force others into listening to my pulpit, figuring if folks are drawn to it or beginning to be drawn to it they will find their way to me.

I'm curious as to why you are dissatisfied with your ability to discuss the ideas you find another may present as wrong on your own blog. Do you need the other you disagree with to debate you for it to have value, or can your counter presentation be enough to satisfy the free exchange of ideas since they were presented publicly for all interested to see?

This is great. I just saw it when I about to upvote a post. I like this new feature.
Two 👍s!! 😀

By the way, thanks for keeping up the good work!! :)

Further options for customization of the Blurt experience is always welcome. The finer grain controls are a great addition that will come in handy for all.

This makes sense, it will help us stay away from people who are toxic / unwanted to us and also it will help others stay away from us who find us unwanted and toxic.

This step will atleast help maintain peace till some extent.

thank you 😊

The fact that the change is at the frontend level and does not concern the blockchain is a good thing. I don't know how good it will be for freedom of speech, but it is also true that a protection tool is needed. Blurt has no downvote and that can be a boast. Having no protection system will still be a bad thing. So this innovation, in my opinion, could be a good solution to protect the application from people who want to discredit it.

See, the thing is that not everyone will mute everyone. They will use the mute feature only in case there's some argument or harassment.

The best thing is it is the users who decides who comments or doesn't comments. This way there's no centralised authority controlling this.

Even the mute feature is decentralised in Blurt.

  ·  2 years ago  ·  

The best thing is it is the users who decides who comments or doesn't comments. This way there's no centralised authority controlling this.

This is not right from a functional logic point of view. If the individual user can mute another from his blogpost page in the comments section, so can the management or all official channels/witnesses of blurt. But since they work in a different function than the average user, there is a difference. So the "decentralisation" argument is factually incorrect.

As the orga or witnesses, you are the rallying point for the many. As a rule, individual users are not (exceptions prove the rule when they are "wales", for example or very high frequented bloggers).

Witnesses or Blurt team members get the same features as a normal user.

It would be centralised if the management or the witnesses got special controls or options.

  ·  2 years ago  ·  

But they do.

So this innovation, in my opinion, could be a good solution to protect the application from people who want to discredit it.

That doesn't seem legitimate enough to me, the fact that someone is seeking to "discredit" a platform is not enough, I think. If someone gives no credit to the business of a platform where they act as a user, or the operators or management, that is not something that should immediately be seen as damaging. There are definitely different views on this and none that is universally valid.

In regular business life you have to prove that someone is indeed damaging your business.

I don't know how good it will be for freedom of speech

Me neither. I hope, muting someone will be very rare (as it seems to be a feature rarely used, to my impression) - but I see some dangers if it becomes something habitual (like on the big players sites, for example).

All ideas that are to improve the platform are always welcome, so we value the effort and dedication.
I like being a community mobilizer, therefore, for me as a user this progress is important.
Preparing for the growth of Blurt allows us to offer better sharing options between one user and another.
To the extent that all users add value to the chain in content, we can reach a larger audience.
My best wishes to all those who collaborate every day to improve this blockchain, which for those of us who already have time in it, it is inevitable not to love it and get excited about the progress.
Good vibes to all.😍

Starting to have second thoughts on comment censorship

I've been thinking it through and I liked the mute idea at first, but in hindsight maybe the nondisplay of comments from muted people isn't such a good idea. For sure their are some pros, but some obvious cons are:

  1. There could be a time delay in getting posts with phishing links removed as the ability to warn other users in the comments section wouldn't work anymore. We would have to contact people on the Blurt discord to do something about it. Plus once that post is removed, they could just instantly create another post and then their would be another time delay as we would have to contact the Blurt discord server to warn people.

  2. The same problem applies with plagiarized content. We would have to contact the discord server as the ability to warn other users is removed. Also the bad actor could forgo blurt earnings and instead ask for tips in other crypto in their post instead.

  3. In life I will often disagree with someone on some topics completely but find that I agree with them on other things. An all or nothing solution seems a bit much.

  4. The comment section is content in itself. I know that's not obvious but it is. That's why Youtubers keep on asking people to make comments because it helps with Youtube's algorithm. A lively comment section is important for any social media. It keeps people on the platform longer.

  5. The danger of self-censorship is real. The exchange of ideas is important otherwise we will end up with siloed echo chambers.

  6. Echo chambers are bad. We need free speech in the comments section to expose bad ideas. Terra Luna went from small time crypto to one of the largest stable coins, promptly death spiralled, and put the crypto market into the worst bear in its short history. We need the ability to counter shills.

  7. The danger of the amplification of hate speech or propaganda is very real. Imagine a scenario where someone makes a post saying that the Holocaust was all fake. That it never happened. Normally we would have a community to counter this in the comments section with facts and counter arguments. With the comment mute system we wouldn't. Instead people with the same opinion would just amplify the lie.

  ·  2 years ago  ·  

Great points.

I would also add a bit less liked issue: those commenters who are annoying, provocative and otherwise hurting someones morals (not talking about spammers and content farmers and other forms of misuse) but comments based on disagreeing notions and perceptions.

It's very important to not end up in echo-chambers.

In the course of my blogging on blockchains I felt great distaste for some comments and users but I would not go so far to mute them and disable them from the comment-section. I think that provokes a great distortion of the field of various voices and characters (even when I don't like them I shall be able to read what they say).

I confirmed with @tekraze and the muted party shouldn’t be able to comment on any comments on the author’s post, even comments from guests. They can however still do so via CLI or via other frontends, but their comments won’t show up on the frontends that support this feature.

Excellent! Thank you! 🙏

Bro, if someone wants to mute you, you'll have to live with that... I mean, I had some toxic ex-girlfriends in my days... That doesn't mean I'm keeping them in my house the rest of my life... 😜

I for my part am not muting anyone... Not even TheDorkyDork! I like the action!

  ·  2 years ago  ·  

Hello to you,

that's right, if a single user mutes another single user, you have no choice but to live with it. But if I understand it correctly, this is about expanding the feature. Muting someone in the comments section disturbs the overall field of different voices and comments. But what if this feature is used from the official side and orga, witnesses and others entrusted with management make use of it? Or, as suggested here, encourage community operators to do so?

Doesn't that create echo chambers?

As I understand it, the comments section is not "mine", since I don't own the blog site either and don't have full control over it (like when I run my own wordpress blog). The comments section is public and I think it's right that it remains public. It is, I think, a hybrid, similar to the big players. The tendency to mute unwelcome commenters is there and I think promoting such on blurt seems rather a highly sensitive issue for anyone who considers this platform a cancelculture-free zone ...

I understand very well the impulse to want to send someone packing who, in my opinion, is totally out of line. But my taste ought still not to be the measure of a mute. I am better off ignoring the person if I am unable to establish a reasonable basis for conversation. That always works, doesn't it? :)

Wenn du irgendeinen Schwachkopf hast, der dir jedesmal nur Gülle in die Kommentare schreibt, einfach nur weil ihm dabei einer abgeht (und da gibt es einige Exemplare davon hier!), dann ist die Funktion genau dort, wo sie sein sollte! Die Funktion ist dazu da, wenn du einen Troll an der Backe hast und ihn nicht mehr los wirst... So meine Interpretation des Ganzen...

  ·  2 years ago  ·  

Ich hatte damals zu Steemit Zeiten ein solches Aufeinandertreffen mit jemandem, den ich gemutet hatte. Das hat ihn so geärgert, dass er noch eine ganze Weile über mich wütete mit anderen Leuten. Ich habe das zwar dann noch still verfolgt, es aber beschlossen, zu ignorieren. Irgendwann war Ruhe und die Sache verlief sich.

Aus diesem Vorfall zog ich die Lehre, dass ich nur Kontrolle über meine eigenen emotionalen Reaktionen habe, nicht aber über die von anderen. Wenn es mir nicht gelingt, gelassen zu bleiben bzw. auf Provokationen immer wieder neu einzusteigen, kann ich überlegen, welche Alternativen ich habe, um mit meinem Ärger fertig zu werden.

Meine Antwort an dich bezog sich vielmehr auf die allgemein beobachtbare Tendenz des Cancelns vonseiten der Betreiber von Online-Foren und ich denke, es herrscht hier viel Angst und Frustration, die sich in Einzel-Kämpfe erschöpft.

So es eine Seltenheit bzw. Ausnahme bleibt, zu muten und nur von User-zu-User angewendet wird, verschwende ich keine weitern Atem damit. Aber wo es von zentraler Stelle kommt, beispielsweise, finde ich das Debattieren wichtig.

Grüße an dich.

Das wird sich zeigen... Das hängt davon ab, wie cool diejenigen bleiben, die die Keys zu den offiziellen Accs haben... Wir werden sehen.

Was du ansprichst, nennt sich die "Grey Rock Methode" und ist grundsätzlich immer richtig:

LG und dir einen guten Start!

Die Coolness wird hoffentlich gelernt. Man lernt sie natürlich am besten durch diejenigen, die einen sehr provozieren :)

Danke für den Link, das war eine interessante Lektüre. Die Methode ist gut beschrieben und sie macht Sinn.

LG und dir einen guten Start!

Danke :) Nur wofür genau wünschst du mir einen guten Start?

Non analogous, analogies, are not an argument - they're a lame excuse to proffer a false narrative - one that a valid analogy could not support.

It does show a severe lack of critical thinking skills, however.
(I'm not your bro, btw)

Well, then you're not my bro... 🤷‍♂️

You're gonna have to learn it the hard way then, I guess... I read your posts, I read your comments... In general you're not very kind with the people here that you are criticizing and that is actually an understatement!!!

Criticism is absolutely ok, if you keep up the kindness while you're doing it... Do you really believe that anyone on this planet will listen to you, while you are insulting them?

That's nothing - see my paid blog posts !...(adult only).

Criticism is absolutely ok, if you keep up the kindness while you're doing it...

So criticism is ok, if you lie about being kind ?...ok, got it...(are you a fan of postmodernism?lol)

Do you really believe that anyone on this planet will listen to you, while you are insulting them?

Do you really believe that comment is worthy of reply ?
...From either a philosophical, intellectual, - or pragmatic, perspective - it's an utterly redundant position.

Only the weak minded imbeciles, mute, and that's because they can't stand the psychological pain of facing a paradigm that does not fit with their delusions .... ....bless their poor little feel feels ...

Like I said : I'm not muting anybody... Everybody is welcome in my front yard.. But that is a personal decision of every Blurtarian here... I for my part will respect that.

If you don't... Well I guess that is your world and your problem...

So what you're saying, is that all dissent or opinions that you don't like, can now be eradicated from being seen on frontends ?

That sounds just like something Stalin, Pol Pot, or Mao would approve of, doesn't it? ...

4 (5) - Copy - Copy - Copy - Copy - Copy.jpg

....get woke, and go VERY broke...

(that's because the spineless control freak libtards are really clever, you see)

Nope. You can write anything you wish to like you have always been writing. But if a user doesn't like you commenting on their posts they can just take control.

And this is just on the frontends. You can still go and use CLI and write whatever you wish to write.

Annnnd...the platform is now totally gay....

Posts are users property - comment sections are public forums.
Since when (well 12 hours ago), is the comment section NOT a public forum.
Ergo - there IS no public forum on Blurt anymore...Invitation only......

Wanna take bets on how well a social media platform with no public forum, works out ...????...lol..

Seriously, the mind boggles at the stupidity...

In that case I'll wait and see. How much do you want to bet and how long do you want to wait?

I don't do bets but I'll make an exception.

....It was colloquial term to express the incredulity of moronic actions, by idiots.

(I wouldn't take the bet, but for reasons of your lack of observable authenticity - not the wager itself ).

If you are scared of losing it then it's okay. By the way I have all the data that can be used to see if this platform remains a forum or not.

This is some FUCKED UP BULLSHIT - are you going to mute me for saying that?

Anyone can mute you now so that you can't even comment with others on their threads....

I can't believe I just read that shit, Blurt is over and out, what a clown show - I'd better go and sanitize myself right now...
