Appreciate the efforts put together by the team and avoid unnecessary violence. I see how you get in touch with almost everyone here including myself and I appreciate. But going through this post I was pained and I am beginning to have doubts about you.
https://blurt.blog/blurt/@world-travel-pro/a-big-shout-out-to-megadrive
You suggested that @ https://blurt.blog/r2cornell/@georgetachia/blurt-now-in-the-centre-of-commerce-nigeria post was not upvoted, which it was by one of the teams account @instablurt.
If Megadrive was a racist I won’t be a team member, @tekraze and @zahidsun re Indians and the rest of the team members from different countries. I am black but this same person keeps supporting me. Also you suggested that @ctime is going to dump which according to wht I see is not true and I doubt it as he is back voting users.
Please for the sake of love and group of blurt and the peaceful platform we have here please channel some suggestions to him @megadrive or maybe reach him on discord or telegram he will listen he always does.
Note also that 50% of users of blurt come from Africa and 40% of that number is from Nigeria and this is because of the relationship we have with him @megadrive and their vision is clear and we accept it.
Please be there for blurt and avoid what is not there!
Furthermore
- Do you feel racism exist in blurt?
- Any example where it happened or you seen that ?
- Do you really think trending page matter ?
- Have you created a follow list to support your favourite authors ?
- Have you supported other new members ?
Yepp Africa have the largest user base of blurt.
@ctime is a wise guy instead he will be planning to buy more
Blurt is not about black white or region, it's about ideas expression, the better one expresses the more he gets upvoted. It's all about connecting each other with similar ideas. Blurt team appreciate work over a persons looking and details
I hope people here will be on right track soon.
You have said it all @tekraze, you have said it all!
True. I must confess that some time ago I called you a turban guy in a comment, there was no anger in it, I just forgot your nickname and didn't have time to look for it
That's fine. Just don't let people believe you are trying to dump Blurt, that will hurt more 😆
Also, try to interact more with posts. People do create their own stories about you and all believe until you let all know the truth.
Cheers...
I never suggested he was going to dump the price, he is the one that suggested in this comment here.
So he is wait and see mode. Will anything get done with UPVU? Or should I front run a potential dump?
To imply he will be buying more....that is quite interesting. I really would like to know where @ctime implied that.
I thought this changed recently and it was Australia or something, which surprises me as not sure I’ve seen anyone yet from Australia. I think familiaone can never remember how to spell user name made a post on this.
It’s not for me to say if I experience racism on blurt but it do sometimes notice that naturally the African community divides from the western. I’ve noticed several of us on blurt have tried, especially recently to bridge this gap. I don’t think it ever happens with intent just different interests/ priorities / ways of talking etc etc. I often find it’s natural to vote and engage with people from countries similar to your own, not really anything to do with skin colour but more culture. I’ve noticed quite a few people on both sides try to be more inclusive on blurt and find more oneness but I think it can still get better. I’m rly happy a whole range of people have shown interest in tmrws quiz I am hosting and I rly hope to see a diverse audience to get a bit closer to everyone.
Final comment we need to extend this beyond black and white. As a black person living in USA or Uk for example will not have the same experience as someone from Africa. Western mentality isn’t skin colour. It’s an interesting topic that could be a great debate topic if everyone can speak without being triggered.
It’s something I am trying to get better on myself as I do know I can end up just naturally liking content that’s easier for me to identify with etc because of shared experiences and I want to keep trying to open up to new cultures.
I really like how @bestkizito and I shared a laugh the other day and then started following each other. That really was awesome. If there is any awkwardness between the African community and the western community it is purely cultural, no different than the Korean community engaging with the German Community. I do believe part of that cultural difference is what led to a misunderstanding and this post.
Yes it’s nothing to do with skin colour as we don’t know 80 percent of users skin colour unless they have their face as a profile pic and even then it’s mostly tiny. It’s more to do with the cultural divide and priorities/ way if life. I’ve noticed on blurt more effort to do this is taken than other sites. Similar with Chinese sometimes I find westerners laughing at Chinese posts or posts by foreigners not that well translated. I think it’s important to try and realise there is life beyond British and American speaking countries 🤣🤣
That goes both ways too as I often find for example the Chinese and African communities only upvoting one another
Racism is everywhere even here in my country, if you look different, member of indigenous tribes with a darker skin color you will feel the difference, so I expected it to happen here in the community.
Yes I think people try and make racism black and white but imo it’s far wider. I’ve been called mayo face by a black person just for saying I was sick of seeing everyone argue. This person called me a racist even though the only one who made a derogatory remark around skin colour was them to me. Also racism exists within races like you said with lighter skin / darker skin / casts etc etc I prefer to just lump it all into one bracket rly of prejudice.
You are right, prejudice. In my condition with an appearance problem I experienced it first hand. Until you put yourself into my shoes you wouldn't really feel it that is why I am very timid more than ever to other people because the way they treat me and I end up keeping things to myself. It sucks considering that I am inherently shy and introverted made worse by my physical malmetamorphosis. ;(
AH! On Blurt it is all you can eat , Hate , racism , attacks etc...
i dont even know why we have a COIL list , that makes it more restrictive than Hive
When we can all just enjoy the battles and fights and enjoy the end of the world behind our screen .
Africans / Ukranians / Russians / French / Germans / Canadians etc...
Plus different religions , different minds .... anywhere , complicated mixtures can only turn chaotic
Dont worry , just be a cool Black making great money in Blurt 💚🌕❤️
Persons of great principle if not talented and peaceful people is what I see here on blurt community @bestkizito, we are people that came from different backgrounds, interests, likings, etc. so misunderstanding always happens, some will quick to judge, some has a long understanding, some people are intolerant, others have high standards. So for me I would let things go and try to manage my own circus and monkeys.
I am new in this platform and i have not experienced such things. Racism is totally wrong and no one can support it. Hope there will be no war of words. If we want growing blurt very fast then we will have to avoid these weird things.
I don't agree there is racism in blurt. I can't understand why people raise these things. If you have any problems, you should ask on discord as bestkizito said. Please let's unit to grow together!
I don't think there are racism because Blurt is not for anyone but as I know about blurt that it is for everyone in the world.
No racism
No racism
No racism
No racism
By the way, I wish the tag thing will be fixed in blurt. I don't see all the posts that used the tag #dcc I'm supporting. Where are those developers who can care about tags ? Tags are one of the most important aspects in all social media. Why they are not working on blurt, I don't understand. I think that matters of a few clicks. Or should I create such issue in githhub ?
There is already an issue on GitLab regarding the tags bug. It was first reported by @double-u several months ago. I tested it to make sure it wasn't a problem with the frontend and discovered that it's actually a bug in the blurt nodes. Then @megadrive opened an issue on GitLab that you can see here: https://gitlab.com/blurt/blurt/-/issues/139
The problem we are having now is that we are short of C++ devs. The original developer that created Blurt (@baabeetaa) has moved on to other things and isn't available. @jacobgadikian is super-busy with his other projects, so he's not available either. We hire a C++ dev (@jga) to do the work on hardforks and fix bugs and add features, but he is also not available full time as he has other work and tries to fit us into his schedule when he can.
I got physically attacked for being an American in Korea on more than one occasion. Had nothing to with my skin color as they would hate me for my country then tell me I have the most beautiful blue eyes and I look like Ben Aflack, which I don't think I do. It was the craziest damn thing. This was near twenty years ago now.
I'd have to say that the world has moved more to a place where we point the finger at the filthy rotten globalist billionaire puppet masters and politicians, and it has them freaking out, cause they would much rather have the populations of the world pointing their fingers at each other and fighting with each other then looking at them.
But still much of the worlds population is still fooled into hating each other, but at least we are making progress. That is really the thing I don't like about this virture signaling of Ukraine....It says I (blurt) favor Ukrainians over Russians. So if you really want to nitpic racism, that's where to look. When the reality is it's just a couple government mafias going at it with innocent civilians caught in the middle. Furthermore it's a damn shame that @clickmoney is now on the receiving end of a ton of blatant racism when he has nothing to do with it and wants peace like everyone else.
Yeah, I never voted for the government that's doing what they are doing. I never voted at all in my life, in any country. And I hope I will never have to do so. Because all this voting system is so fake. And of course I always supported peace in earth. Why do I need others to fight. Why to I need someone killed. I lived all my life in peace and I just wrote the truth about what's going on, and was attacked for that and called a war supporter. That's why for a while I just stopped posting about that. All I said is that the sanctions aren't helping, and they harm only citizens or politicians. What a billionaire will lose if losing a few millions ? But losing a few dollars or access to services, or everything that's under sanction for a simple citizen could harm very much. I even lost many friends, just because I said that. They wanted me to say that sanctions are helpful, while I see the war going harder and harder. And both sides are just fueling it.
People can't blame those politicians because of fear, so they decided to attack citizens instead. Citizens don't have that power. Shame on those who are attacking peaceful citizens.
I will always stand with peace, even if I'll die trying. And I know that every word I write could be the last. But at least, I'll be remembered as someone who stand for the truth. As someone who is not fooled by the mass media.
Question: Do you feel racism exist in blurt?
Answer: I haven't felt it on the BLURT platform and I'm not sure it does exist here. However, we are humans and sometimes one stepping on your toes might lead to racism. That's life for you😉
Question: Any example where it happened or you seen that ?
Answer: I've not seen such yet.
Question: Do you really think trending page matter ?
Answer: Trending page matters alot and almost every media platforms and search engine platforms have trending pages. So, yeah, it really does matter. I literally check trending page to know what's up.
Question: Have you created a follow list to support your favourite authors ?
Answer: Yes, and I keep tabs on their dashboard to see what they post.
Question: Have you supported other new members ?
Answer: Except you're a new member that I'm yet to come in contact with. For every new member I discover on blurt I definitely support them
Cheers 🎊🎊👏
If I show you proof of racism will you get out of Blurt?
There is prejudice everywhere on everything. A platform isn’t going To suddenly change people.
That's of course mate.
I never called anyone a racist. I was just making a point, that heavily supporting one group, while ignoring another is not good for the platform.
I think that maybe Travel-Pro doesn’t like the Ukraine 🇺🇦 flag on @yakubenko Blurt promotions. ?? Not sure. Maybe we could ask her to remove this flag and everyone would be happy ? Would that work ? I could ask her …
FYI … @yakubenko has been promoting Blurt everywhere since Day 1. Everywhere. Long before the War.
I think it’s more we tend to pigeon hole onto things that are trending in the news. Like right now there are wars going on with more people dying than Ukraine but no one talks about them etc. It’s akways whatever is in the news everyone’s obsessed with and if it’s not on the news no one cares. I guess Ukraine has now fallen into the same category as covid vaccines, Blm, me too, extinction rebellion. At the heart all are good causes but they end up getting used in various ways. Social justice always ends up just being about whatever’s trending rly, everyone’s less angry about not being vaccinated now so it’s moved in to Ukraine and that’s slowly petering out and something else will replace it whilst the war still rages on there.
It seems to me that Everyone gets easily triggered these days..I’m not allowed to say that I’m praying for the people of the Ukraine. 🇺🇦 Without someone getting triggered. And completely losing there brains … . 🧠 oh well.. ha ha …
I think everyone is easily trigged these days that we can defo agree on 😅
Definitely.
This is 100 % True.
Especially people who blame other people about getting easily Triggered.
Ha ha ha ha ….
Triggered against the team,, don't know why 😆 But I don't like people who try to be on both sides, Either you are wrong or you are definitely wrong. There is no shame to be standing with an opinion and being firm to it.
Do we have to have a side? I generally can see both sides in something, sometimes I have a more firm opinion on things because I just do and sometimes I can kind of see both sides or all sides or even hold multiple opinions simultaneously. The only thing we can ever do is speak our truth and share our opinion in the moment. As you'll see just in one post I have argued for mega drive and against @world-travel-pro then on others issues agreed with him. I don't like this fixed taking sides thing personally.
Yes, I am not saying we should not have two views, But if you check again, there is a pattern to people writing these posts. In the end things do not go well. Everyone is free to share his/her view, but sometimes people cross the limit.
Saying words on a person face is difficult, but writing here looks like no issue. But it have consequences, because people may edit/delete comment, but not the blockchain, it remember everything and it can not be erased.
People just need to think before posting.
I would happily have any discussions I had on here in person, we just had a really nice chat and @imransoudagar and @world-travel-pro joined and everything was great, lots of great ideas, chats. I don't think anyone is coming from a malicious place and everyone has ideas about the chain. Some they are more fixed on, some that we are open minded on and might change our mind, some we can see both sides. I know for myself I definitely can hold two opinions at one time and see something from two sides.
actually sometimes I have even shared two completely opposing opinions on my wall, just because I like the post, or thought it was an interesting argument or that the post had a lot of effort put into it. I don't think everyone has to have some fixed opinion they don't ever move from.
Yes, but sometimes the opinions does not feel right
which opinion is that? and do you think that means it cannot be expressed and talked about? I think a lot of the time things that are written also don't always come across the same as when a person is expressing in person and you see their facial movements / eyes etc. But this is a conversation to have. If you say what doesn't feel right then that too can be hashed out and communicated.
You're so wrong. It's all about business common sense. 6 out of 8 of my great grandparents were born Kiev and Odessa. My x girlfriend was from Donesk, I lived in Ukraine for four months. I pray for Ukraine and all those suffering on either side.
@ultravioletmag is again spot on. Should we put a BLM logo next to the Blurt Logo. How about this, we Have the Blurt logo then next to it we put 🤬BLM 🇺🇦🎺🌈
Each one of these logs turns off an audience. Is that how you grow a business and attract investment? Honestly "dude" I think you need a lesson in business 101.
Omg the emojis 🤣🤣🤣🤣 sorry but that killed me 😅
There’s a better meme than this somwhere but couldn’t find it
Hahaha. That is halarious, and thank you for understanding my point so well and in the most funny way!
I mean I don’t rly care what mega drive likes it’s up to him and offgrid but I am opposed to any of these social justice causes being used to promote the platform / form part of the logo. Etc
Exactly! He would be far better of doing nothing with his up-vote power than doing this. It's just making Blurt look like it's run by an MSM power instead of a decentralized blockchain. Huge turn off. Maybe he's got some strange connections we don't know about, after all @megadrive is just an inside member of the "hive cabal" that got kicked out, cause he wasn't cabal enough or something.
And how come nobody commented on one of my major points. The occult woman image, that has thankfully been changed. Seriously, that alone had me really almost not buying 500,000 blurt. Especially after blowing their shit up. Who knows if and how many other's simply chose not to invest because of that. Maybe none, maybe many, we'll never know.
My personal opinion is that the founder maybe shouldn’t be upvoting anything at all and shoudl delegate their stake or just not utilise it so the platform stays more decentRalised.
I’m sorry to hear that. Prayers for your family in Odessa and the Ukraine 🇺🇦
Did you just "dude" me?
The way you write this makes me sound anti-ukrainian. I am not. I'm anti Ukraine Virtue signaling with blurts name on it.
And OK....sure have her remove the Ukrainian flag from everything she posts and let's watch @megadrive prove me wrong. If he still up votes her often 100% everything she does than I'll make a public apology and just assume he has a real affection for this woman. It's seems pretty clear that the only reason he supports her so heavily is because he thinks it's a good idea to tie blurt to Ukraine. Not smart business, plain and simple. If you disagree, than so be it.
You are really crazy buddy, why have both opinions. Yakubenko is an old user of blurt, and I am following her since I joined Blurt. The only thing I got to know that he is from Ukraine, was during wartime.
So, if I keep voting for her because she is from Ukraine do not make sense at all.
I only vote for her because of her art creations, and sometimes her selfies too...
Also, there are two more artist accounts doing the same, and I still don't know where the other two are. Because content should be the king and not a person.
I love your words Tekraze 💚
Until now I have not found racism among myself, but I know that racism exists.
What I know, for example, is the difference between blacks and whites, it's a pity.
may be important or may not.
I haven't made it yet.
Yes, I really support new users here, I invite my friends to join here a lot.
That's what it's all about...and supporting them, and keeping them here, and encouraging them to invest, and encouraging them to bring their friends. It's not about siding with Ukraine in Blurts name, talk about a total bone-head business move. Just so frustrating for me to watch. I had to speak up.
let's build a good community in this blurt regardless of background.
The data regarding the most Blurt users is as shown in the image above.
