I agree that @hivewatchers is completely overzealous in this area. I’ve reported cases of identity theft or plagiarism to them in the past, but am tempted to even stop contributing in that way.
Artists and creators I follow elsewhere regularly show content multiple times. It’s simply good social media marketing practice.
There are some folks I see get marked as “spammers” by @hivewatchers so I just make sure to keep voting for them in support. If they choose to downvote for little reason, I want to stretch their power & resources as far as possible. I hope with a growing Hive userbase and scale, their organization will lose relevance, power & efficiency; leaving it much more to communities and social groups to enforce most standards of “social norms.”
