I have observed Hive's decline over the past year, and while it is disheartening, it was somewhat anticipated, especially if you have read my previous posts. However, it seems that certain individuals are averse to acknowledging the truth. I'm unsure if this behavior stems from immaturity, which can be understandable, or if it is a deliberate attempt to deceive others, which is not acceptable. However, I am inclined to believe that the latter explanation is unlikely.
Regardless, I took it upon myself to caution some of my friends about the inaccurate estimations resulting from misleading pumps and dumps. Unfortunately, this warning was perceived as a betrayal within the platform.
After I got downvote by one of these "platform defenders", I decided to downvote back as self defense. Then others started downvoting and when I accused this to be a downvote bot ring, I was told its simply a trail feature.
Well please judge for yourself if this is how a healthy social network looks like:
Here is nice positive innocent comment to my friend, which surprisingly got downvoted 馃槸
Well lets see who is this misterious user offended by my comment to my friend?
Celestegray? Not even blogging... who is this "organic" downvoter? Not even blogging while registered 10 months ago?
Looks like this user got 4000 Hive delegation. How nice... I wonder who delegated? Should I check the Hive Data-base? No need, the immidate suspect is not that shy:
Now tell me, who is just looking to use the platform to communicate and convey, and who is a busy bee doing bad sneaky tricks?
