You came here to defend @lasseehlers. so let's not drag other Hive users into this. If you want to reply at me then fine let's discuss how to get @lasseehlers to jump ship for Blurt. I'd enjoy that just as much. If you want to reply to me about downvoting @lasseehlers then let's focus on that. My time is limited today.

no, I'm not here to defend anyone ;)

I'm here to be a pain in the ass for downvoters :P

Actually, I and anyone else who gives a damn can know that because @lasseehlers posts his personal in real life disputes on Hive. @lasseehlers does a piss poor attempt at hiding that by writing those posts in Danish but they are there. For example,

@lasseehlers/hans-kolding-soloinc-har-snydt-og-generet-mig

[...]

If @lasseehlers wants to be left alone to live his own life then why does he post about disputes he's had with people who aren't on Hive, can't defend themselves on the platform or give their side of the story?

I will not interfere here in any of your internal conflicts, however, in the post I only see that he expresses his dislike for some person whom he does not trust and writes what his point of view of some situation is. It is not for me to judge, but 90% of blogs in the world consist of writing about the lives of people and internal thoughts in connection with some people or situations.

and this is exactly what I'm talking about... Downvotes only serve to satisfy the need to fight with people who we don't like for some reason, who have offended us or for some reason don't behave the way we expect them to :P

I wouldn't be surprised at all that only 10% of all downvotes are used to fight spam and over 90% to fight with politically incorrect content, disliked people and to demonstrate one's superiority :P

Hive isn't a centralized platform. Can you explain how you expect "just mute him and that's it" to work when it's decentralized?

Now are you revealing your true face by misinterpreting what I mean. We are portraying a person who would gladly reach for censorship solutions straight from FB, deleting accounts and excluding if only they could ;)

When I said mute him, I didn't mean for the ENTIRE platform, but for you to mute him so that you won't be bodered by the things he writes ;]

This is what lies beneath the desire to defend Downvote. The desire to defend tools that give power over others. If you can't delete them, maybe persecute them a little?

I never claimed I had to "prove it". When it comes to @lasseehlers circumstantial evidence is a renewable resource and after he piles up enouygh of it there is a preponderance that it is more likely true than not true. Anyway, "scheme" was me being generous. I could very easily use the word "scam" but then I'd have to walk you step by step since you obviously aren't aware of his first DHF proposal's details. "Scheme" is good enough for when I am too busy to walk you through it.

If you haven't read as much of what @lasseehlers has posted then I have how do you expect to successfully defend him anyway? You are already starting off handicapped because I've read things before @lasseehlers deleted them and watched his YouTube videos before he made them private. Putting yourself in his place isn't effective because this isn't about you.

and again.. this is only your point of view. he has his... if in turn there was some theft or fraud, there are institutoins that deal with it and they are the ones who determine the facts. Of course also never completely impartially but certainly more impartially than you.

From your attitude I see that what you are saying may be just as likely an attempt to defend your position in this whole situation because you yourself have shown, even just a moment ago, that you are definitely not standing here as a innocent and were not a passive observer, but rather wherever you could, you tried to fuck the guy up ;]

Such a circus is called escalation and in the end it is often not even possible to determine who is to blame :P And this is precisely what downvoting leads to - escalation ;] a simple mocking face on fb can already enrage more than one person and now let's take it and combine it with removing potential earnings from posts, i.e. the financial aspect :P It's like pouring fuel on the fire ;]
