Youtube the second website with big traffic in all the web, they have the option to turn off comments at all. And I've seen so many videos with millions of views with turned off comment section. I have a few youtube channels. And I upload videos to youtube almost everyday. They even have an option under each video, or you can turn on comment section, or turned off. In some videos on, in other off. As we wish. Some videos could be private. Who knows, maybe a frontend in blurt in the future will make something private that will be seen only on the blockchain. Will also people cry about that ? I mean blockchain and frontend is not the same thing. Anyone is welcome to create one, and they can do it the way they want it to be. Even @ctime once told us all that he will support any frontend created, a new one. Right away a few months ago when we had some drama here. I think even in other blockchains there is an option to create a frontend without downvotes, or without votes, or to hide all comments, or to show only pictures, or only text. I mean it's all personalized. And everyone is free to do it the way he/she it right. Of course that needs developers, some money, marketing and everything. Easy-peasy. I don't understand why some people make it so hard for themselves and try to make it hard for others.
In Russian we say : ''Сделать из мухи слона''. That means : ''To make an elephant from a fly.''
I've also noticed among many who find themselves actually censored (which is not the case here) the mindset that others need provide the platform they are to freely speak on. The idea of forming together to build their own seems to repel them for whatever reason. Then they hang out at the site they think is dis-eased and use it as though someone is forcing them to do such a thing.
Exactly, if the frontend is that bad, developers are that bad as they say. Let them create their own frontend, bring their own developers and build it the way they like it. I understand now that without the developer we have, the blockchain will be just down for days or forever, because we don't have the alternative. They don't have the alternative. So, the only way is acceptance. Accepting what we have. Or bring developers to blurt, put some money in it, make it the way they want it to be. Sometimes I feel the goal of all those attacks is to destroy blurt itself. Like when I see someone pushing for something so hard, I feel a motive behind that. A strong one.
Yes, the constant victim status that seems to appear now at the slightest wind does seem to indicate the well being of the platform might not be the motive, lol.
Hmm.... I am using an alternative front end right now. It does comments and votes but it works on four blockchains simultaneously. You need to login with your posting key at least for Blurt. You can also look at permissions to other "apps."
While preparing this reply I just discovered that I lost my domain. Maintaining it is a fool's errand unless I get some funding from somewhere. Paying DNS and hosting when nearly nobody uses it. And now this happens.
What's the frontend ?
The website is up again. See your feed: https://www.steemfiles.com/@clixmoney/feed .
See your permissions: https://www.steemfiles.com/@clixmoney/permissions .
Nice one. Thanks for sharing.
By the way, maybe you will be interested in building an exclusive frontend to blurt ? Or even to be a witness here. I know how much good work you did for proofofbrain, and I think you'll be very successful in blurt.
