zoiks, i'm not "defending" these specific posts

i'm "defending" the right of anyone anywhere to post anything and upvote anything they wish

the hunt for "quality" is a fool's errand

We're not in hunt of quality. We are in hunt of copied and pasted posts put in trending. So, people who will join blurt, will not see the awesome work done by the community. But a bunch of Korean posts, not even clear what's written there using this service https://dclick.io/ to promote them. And who knows, maybe those are posts generated by bots. Not even real people. But a very good developer, who created an algorithm to milk blurt.

"trending" is a measure of money-votes

NOT a measure of "quality"

So, it's ok if a bot generates posts and make a few accounts share that content and milk the system ?

tell me who you believe should police a "decentralized system"

the same rules apply to all participants

no kings

rules without rulers

on hive we were all called "milkers" and "shit-posters"

such CHARACTERIZATIONS would seem to be indicative of a purely subjective moral standard (and a barely hidden desire to force others to comply)

It already has police tho. Someone decided to add a coat to post and comment because the decided it would stop the system being as abused and stop spam. So it already happened. Changing tending would be the exact same thing as adding the post costs etc

i'm not against any and all "restrictions" or "fees" or any other rules and or regulations

as long as they are hard-coded rules fees and or restrictions

the definition of anarchy is that all rules apply equally to all members without any exceptions

no exceptions

no need for a vigilante police force if you put everything in the code

the problem with marky and the crew at hive is that they spent all day saying they downvoted "low effort" stuff and then still gave huge upvotes to obviously "low effort" stuff

i don't care what rules you want to add to the code

UNIFORM ENFORCEMENT IS ESSENTIAL

I agree I have the exact same beliefs like I don’t think upvu should be targeted but if we believe bot services could make the platform less enjoyable for the majority of users I believe it’s perfectly acceptable to change the way the platform / trending page works for example. That’s a site / coding change and the exact argument I was having with @practicalthought that I don’t believe in singling out anything other than to use as an example of what might benefit the platform when it comes to change. I am fine with rules changing to better the platform as long as they apply to all. If ppl rly don’t like the platform rules because they like to plagerise or use bots etc etc they can use another platform etc I personally believe site rules and platform changes are very different to people being able to be silenced / unable to earn etc on a platform but that’s just me
