Spaminator, and every bully in Hive, this message is for you.

Having the power to downvote, flag, silence, or influence someone's reputation does not make you powerful. Power is the ability to build people, not destroy them.

Hate built on fear, intimidation and bullying will only last as long as the people carrying it are around. Reputation, however, can outlive us.

You may control votes today, but you don't control history. You don't control people's ability to keep creating, and you certainly don't control the future of Hive.

If you truly love Hive, stop using your influence to bully people into silence. Debate them. Correct them. Compete with them. Build something better.

Bullying is not power. It is simply power being abused.

And to every person being targeted: keep building. Let your work speak when the noise gets loud.
