Thanks so much for expressing your thoughts, I have started the discussing regarding spam in the ideas-and-suggestions channel on discord.blurt.world, please join in.
@ericet can you look into maybe putting a fee explanation somewhere that users car read more about it, maybe even a help question hover button whenever a fee price is quoted.
Imran, regarding the logo, there is some discussion in the media-kit channel on Discord, I am favouring a softer logo for Blurt, I showed some examples like this:
while not wanting to make a whole post myself or on discord - shamelessly 😁 dropping an idea here namely to add - bear with me here - a thumbs down button with a tally but without any monetary consequences for the author, such that there is a valid quantitative measure on BLURT of opinions i.e. up or down. upvotes should be counted and rewarding, thumbs down only counted. what do we think? EDIT: a thumbs down operation should cost quite a bit in order to discourage frivolous button pushing
Why thumbs up or down? It is enough to see if you can get rewards or not. The reward system actually says everything about the quality of a contribution and the involvement of authors in their community, apart from fraudulent farm societies.
But you are right to post your opinion on the Blurt and not on Discord. Here we can reward your opinion. I reward you for this act. Because why should I discuss on the Discord when it is much more rewarding here? It's not clearer there either.
Hallo @afrog 🐸
discord is poison for a community
discord split ,!
whether intentionally or not.
It's not good for a community
Ich habe mir mal etwas Lektüre von Dir gegönnt.
Bei mir läuft Blurt schlecht und für zwei geschweige drei chains habe ich keine Zeit
VgA 😊
Discord splits, true. It steals content, separates many bloggers from the blockchain, prevents commenting and separates the places of opinion formation. It is a mistake to create discussions on Discord instead of the blockchain. I've never understood why people on a blockchain do that, of all people who know that there are rewards for comments too. I think they never realized what a blockchain was made for, they just think far too short or have succumbed to a certain kind of blind activism.
Blurt läuft ab und zu schlecht. Dafür gibt es vier Frontends und eines davon läuft in der Regel stabil.
Die Störungen werden verursacht, weil sehr viel an der Kette gearbeitet wird. Außerdem steht der Blurt ständig unter schwerem Beschuss der Neider vom Hive. Denen läuft es hier nicht schlecht genug und sie versuchen tatsächlich alles, um den Betrieb zu stören. Die Störung des Bildservers ist mittlerweile behoben. Blurt.blog funktioniert jedenfalls wieder.
wow thats v deep thinking! i especially like the latter consideration, v smart, discuss on BLURT is more open and rewarding,although sometimes one wants to discuss more private without being on record all the time. so apart from a little shameless maybe my commentng was perhaps even smart, thanks!
Of course he was smart. Look, another vote.
Thanks for that idea, I will share that with the team, the thumbs down can serve basically as a classification of bad content and not to hurt rewards, however thumbs down still can cause the downvote predicament as seen on REddit where users are afraid to post in fear of rejection of downvotes even though it isn't monetary
thanks, i also realize thumbs and vote issues can be controversial, yet gd to have some thinking about expressing a dislike w/o hurting the author in the pocket and w/o having to write up (let alone starting) an argument. still, thumbing down should be v expensive (like 1 BLURT?) because u really want to express, say, disgust worthy of a full BLURT$ from my own pocket whereas thumbing down for mere disagreement would not easily be deemed worth the hard earned 1 BLURT coin. in other words its perhaps more a disgust counter. EDIT: again, not to hurt the author because what i find totally disgusting u may find appropriate or even very worthy! just blurting happily here!
