You got that right Peter! Good to see you showingUP here on our first post! 😊
I'm confident that the social environment here at Blurt is primed with far better fundamentals than Hive ever had.
People underestimate the drag that the downvote creates. In my mind... it's like how an airplane flies through the air. The Downvote acts to cancel out the lift that's been created with the UPvote... Unfortunately making it possible for larger accounts to own smaller ones in this way pretty much sends any positive social out the window... it's only a matter of time before that erases social lift altogether. Negative is always remembered and positivity is easily forgotten during difficult times. This is pretty much hard wired into every human on planet earth.
I'm glad to be here at Blurt. It feels much different already and I know that we can make positive/fun things happen here! ☄️
@dickturpin just followed you. I think that is so cool you guys are here. Your presence is already making waves here and I'm sure it's just the beginning. What you say is so true. I like many, we just "kept our heads down" on hive, so we could earn something, as the risk of becoming a down-vote target was simply just not worth speaking up, especially as a relatively small account holder, compared to the bigs.
