MegaDrive and friends don't want to control what comes on the trending page by giving our votes. The team wants the community to find good posts and bring them up organically.
As for the situation on Blurt.blog the trending page is either voted by Upvu and such vts or Ctime and group. The team is trying to come up with something that will help genuine users to come up on the trending page with the help of the community.
The reason ctimes votes affect trending so cause for some unknown reason blurt seems to want to chase off big investors so there is no competition to ctime. If instead of this manhunt on silencing one user blurt had focused purely on being a better more appealing site, since before threatening to freeze wallets there would be more users and more investors and ctimes votes wouldn’t dominate treding. Rather than continually piss around with the trending page just work to stop chasing off users with this obsession with taking down lucylin and it’ll naturally balance out over time. Big investors should get a decent day in curation cause they have invested money into the platform and held it there. Blurt needs that more than ever. They should be being celebrated not attacked.
You got it all wrong. Blurt team is not trying to chase big investors away. A few of these investors are trying to chase away the Blurt team by promoting lies and voting on posts that mock users of Blurt.
Its a planned move to take control over Blurt.
You are we have had about 5 big investors on blurt. You have said all of them are trying to ‘attack’ blurt at some point. Threatened to freeze two of their wallets. No one is selling blurt for anything other than they aren’t losing faith in it. Blurt is open source if someone wants to buy out blurt it’s there to do. I feel like your just blaming investors for all the problems on blurt rather than actually take responsibility about why these ppl don’t want to continue investing. You seem to chase of every single investor I can’t understand what is going on here.
Who cares what posts they upvote? That’s what I am saying you are putting sooooooo much focus on this one user your losing bloggers and investors constantly do their posts will move higher and higher on trending, the opposite of what you want cause there is less and less competition. Pull away from it for god sake before it’s too late, forget lucylin entirely, unless he takes it into your work life, then cease and decist and focus on making blurt a great site people want to invest in and post on. Then naturally there will be more balance of users on trending and more investors to spread the load. If a big investors wants to upvote posts you don’t like swallow your pride, if they want to sell its their right to do so as it’s your right to sell off all your blurt all the time.
Maybe ask the users or get dan to make a poll. Then users will feel they get some options rather than it’s my way or the highway. One user one vote. I’m all for making improvements to the site but I’m sick of how much focus is being given to block or hide lucylin. He’s totally won at this point cause he has all your focus, time and attention at all times.
