I’m not really on any side I make personal decisions for myself. Like I would vote to keep fervi in a witness chat, because he was voted in fairly, if he drops important info like personal passcodes then they need to be sent via other chats, but then I also believe in a mute button. I think some ppl over use mute and just go around muting ppl for effect whilst, still stalking their page or people mute it thinking they can hide their own posts, none of which is true on social but I really don’t see anything wrong with muting offensive people you don’t want to be badgered by constantly. No app will make it mainstream without a block or mute button of some kind as people want to control their environment to a degree and make social media and their own bubble a relatively nice experience for themselves. Why do you want to log on every morning and have some creep harassing you every day and having to see them pop up everywhere. No woman, especially, is going to want a page with no option to mute a crazy weirdo who won’t leave them alone or keeps writing offensive stuff every day. Nothing will go viral without a mute button. However, censorship is very different, I believe everyone should be able to put whatever the hell they want on their own blog. I don’t mind a few rules for front ends actually but they do need to apply to everyone equally across the board. Lucylin I have a huge issue with though personally as he is connected to my real life friend and disrespecting her and their supposed friendship by dropping everything on social media. That’s a perosnal issue though and nothing to do with blurt. I have never once dropped anything personal I know about him and nor will I ever, I keep it to myself because unlike him I respect and honour real life friendships.

I HAVE SWITCHED
If you propagate fairness for all, then the annoying people will try to convict you of your own fallibility. If it were so easy to create fairness for everyone equally, then no one would bother and you would have an infallible environment. But you don't.
It cannot be done. There is no fair sphere for everyone. Instead of leaving it at that, the criticised are seduced into wanting to devise something like a fair platform for everyone after all - or pretending that it can be done and perhaps believing in it themselves.
They will fail. No one who tries to regulate a sphere will and can be fair to all. But where you pretend that it is a noble goal, there will always be those who will beat the limits of that noble goal around your ears. They say, "Advertising is misleading" and so on.
In fact, everybody knows that advertising is misleading and based on exaggeration. So it remains an exaggeration.
Because you won't build a platform on it if you say, "This is an ever-changing environment with freshly motivated joiners and frustrated leavers all the time. The system lives on the enthusiasm and idealism of the newcomers, it grows when there is enough exaggeration. It splits when some think it is unfair and others think it is fair. Join in this dynamically changing and uncertain experiment! You are on your own, no guarantees of success, but invest your money anyway, who knows, you could make it if you spread enough positivism and we all create a thriving mass adaptive environment. So we too believe in the Bubble! Quality is irrelevant, as long as the machine runs!"
HaHa!
Everyone knows that's no way to advertise. By all means, you can put the golden cow of worship "decentralisation" at the centre of your marketing and I had a long debate just recently about how the functionality of a system is definitely decentralised but one does not perceive it as such - because individuals actually want things to be centralized and want to have "responsibles". It is the subject of hot debate and the very fact that it is, leads to the conclusion that no peace and joy space can last. Which is fine for that matter, as it IS a sign of a "no single entity is responsible space" - but when there is no one left whom one can point a finger at, it becomes boring as a space where you neither can blame the rich nor use the poor as a shield and argument against those riches. So then, this leads to the logical argument if it cannot be done for all equally fair, it only can be done for some, and not for others. This causes splits, and splits from the splits, so called "communities, where stricter rules are announced and shall be followed. You can either join them or create your own community with all the hassle which comes with it. For there, too, you will not have your "own" space, as the comment section still will be littered with individuals complaining.
I am not insulting you when I say that you won't be able either to create such an environment actively where "rules need to apply to everyone equally across the board", for I am totally certain that I could not do it myself and even could not do it together officially with numerous peoples.
Though it can be done, I guess, if nobody talks about it and all the talks about fairness and rules do not take place. It works perfectly where it remains unannounced, untouched and unobserved. It works excellently where no do gooderism is attached to oneself and no ideals are spoken of.
As long as it IS talked about and I talk to you right now, in my view, you regard positivsm and agreement as too high and devalue disagreement as something not useful. I think that you err in this respect.
I’ll leave @frot to attend to this one I need to focus on some real world stuff for the rest of the day now.
Er...thanks...LOL
I must have missed that ?
I do recall WTP posting a comment assuming things about a private , but publicly visible , transfer of coins from one to the other . Using it as dirt to smear on the penguin .
So who is dragging personal stuff disrespectful on to social media ?
And you are doing ???? ,. by placing this ???
if you would care to explain that would be much appreciated .
I keep personal friendships very private and honour trust between myself and my friends. I absolutely will never utter stuff I know about him because it is private and I know he prefers it that way, one of us has morals and I won’t even go into this further. There are things he talks about that come directly from conversations I have had directly with one of my very good real life friends. I understand that when you have a circle of trust to a point ie a mutual friend who we both speak to every day things will come up. The guy even knew I was at a damn car boot sale the other day because it comes up in conversation when someone talks to someone ever day, I understand and respect that and it is only an issue when one of the parties does not respect that triangle. It Will most likely cause damage in a real life good friendship. I couldn’t care less what opinion people have on a blockchain but not everyone wants that to seep into ones personal life and friendships. This is the only thing I will say on this topic because I am not going to get into any kind of fight over it or a she said he said type argument. It’s just not worth my time. But I am explaining why I have personal issues with a user and have muted and will never ever engage with anything outside of a meme. It has nothing to do with opinions on the site. I would really rather it was respected that there is a real life friend in the middle who is a sounding board for essentially two people at times and that everyone should rly just keep themselves to themselves on social media, which should rly be worth a lot more to everyone involved than a stupid blogging site.
May i ask ,. was this all on Blurt ?
As i said , if so , i must have missed them post's and comments .
Was it on a small community group channel like telegram , dicord or signal ?
If so ,. i wonder who is dragging things to where then ?
For realize i don't have any info on what happened outside blurt .
Then if so , where the things used in a disrespectful gas-lighting negative way ?
Or just small talk to communicate and bond some friendships ,.. witch you took for something else ?
Look , i don't know ,.. you ain't clear with specific info ,. to much seems left out to me .
Come with strong points or drop it and move on to other things .
Why keep dragging it ,. you muted him , still you keep mentioning his name ?
I see the positive side of the coconuts , i like manual curators , even do it seems a almost impossible challenge no matter who is delegating the stake . I saw coconuts voted and even you personally reblurting my last post . Thanks for that ,.. not for me , but for blurt . It shines a little light on freespeech , and i hope MD had some kind of grin on his face to when he saw it .
;-)
Thanks for have a conversation on my post!
I'm going to copy and paste this reply to everyone involved because I think this is what social media is really about, but somewhere along the way it has been subverted into something very different and that has really killed it.
It's not about agreement, it's a conversation. You are all clearly not bots or contractors pushing an agenda.
While I do think replacing corrupt egotistical dictators is crucial for the success of any social media platform (or society), I also think the free exchange of ideas is crucial as well.
Feel free to disagree!
Your welcome brother .
how can i disagree with something that purple ?
If i would , climate change might become one of our least problems .
;-)
It’s not something I want to discuss further because it’s messy enough having a real life friend that you speak to every day, speaking to somebody else every day that writes posts about you online and tags or mentions you almost every day of late. Unfortunately mute is only so good. I’m definitely not going into any details or discussing this further I’m just simply giving you the reason, which I’m completely entitled to do. It has nothing to do with me choosing a side or being in some kind of ‘war’. I literally have access to a Curation account which was very kindly given to me and I use it to vote any content that I enjoy Or think is well put together. I don’t have any rules on what I can vote and not vote and as you can see have voted plenty of things around conspiracy theories if you want to call them that and alternative truths. Personally I think that can make blurt a better place rather than having that delegation sat there doing nothing or just voting the same two people out of time constraints. It does not make me on any side of anything. I actually don’t even know enough about what’s going on To have opinions on certain things like i don’t even know how to even check if someone is printing stake so I definitely don’t have any kind of personal opinion on something like that and leave it to people who do. I do have opinions on some other things though and I always I’m honest and share my personal opinion that has nothing to do with being on the side, I rly don’t believe in sides at all it’s just a cause for unnecessary war.
I believe in your good intentions ,. just keep a good look out on the deeds you do .
Be sure they are truly just in all the light you can see .
:-)
I don’t think anyone can always be in the light, I don’t think that’s what being here is for. We are never going to be all love and light or all dark and negative but we can continually do our best to be authentic, to be ourselves and follow our inner calling and be willing to change if that feels wrong at any time.
That's why i say ,.. great power comes with great responsibility ,.. even when this power is made up on virtually staked crypto coins ,.. as i take the power of my words , even do sometimes mocking and a bit rude ,. before i release them very seriously in the opposite of that , power is power , it can build and destroy , use it wisely .
Like i , true the humble power of my word ( witch i claim is weak ) seek no fortune .
I shameful have to admit ,.. i seek fame , in curses or praises doesn't really matter to me . They may throne me or hang me from the highest tree , in my mind i will be always free and as a person always me .
The fame i seek is not even for me ,.. it's for free speech .
And if i see anyone as my teacher master in that ,. i can only name @angryman .
His fame showed me a way , and i accepted the torch of free speech he offered me to uphold like him in my own unique way . And keep that f@cker burning bright in them faces was his well mend advice .
With my , to many , extreme viewpoint on free speech the penguin seems to be my ally , and on my free speech principals i can not find reason to dislike him in any way .
But then again , i am always good with animals ,. like cats , they like me , as if they have a hidden network sharing info about humans, or something .
;-)
Lilith is happy you like cats 🤣 I had to push her away to get a pic as she wants to be snuggled lol
I think the account is still only 40 c, I don’t feel much responsibility I just upvote things I like and spend some time because I would like blurt to do well and do better than the downvote platforms. Whatever we say about it it’s much better than those. If people don’t like how I vote then they can switch me over with someone else no problem. I think most ppl couldn’t be bothered to do it to be honest lol
