Sorry for commenting a bit late,
but I wanted to come here and express my support.

Ever since I joined HIVE (back when it hadn’t even forked from STEEMIT yet), abuse has always been a difficult problem. Plagiarism, article spinning, machine translation, identity impersonation, SPAM—these issues kept emerging endlessly. No matter how many times they were addressed, they would come back again, giving everyone headaches.

Although I couldn’t fight abuse across the entire HIVE ecosystem, I have always tried my best to keep #cn and later the HIVE Chinese community clean. Because of that, I offended quite a lot of people.

Some even made death threats in QQ groups, put bounties on my personal information, saying they would come to my home and kill me. Some were long-time online friends who completely broke ties with me. Others secretly cursed or insulted me behind my back. There were so many incidents like these that I’ve lost count.

Between 2017 and 2020, the abuse was really overwhelming—we simply couldn’t deal with it all. In fact, because token prices dropped, the amount of abuse on HIVE has decreased significantly. Of course, many friends on HIVE, including hivewatchers, have been working hard to fight abuse, and their efforts have been quite effective.

Naturally, some people have different views on what counts as abuse. For example, does AIGC count as abuse? Just because I chose to support hivewatchers on this issue, I lost many witness votes. And yes, there is still a bot opposing hivewatchers that downvotes the posts of hivewatchers supporters every day.

So achieving a complete anti-abuse environment is truly difficult and exhausting. That’s why I deeply resonate with what you wrote in your post, and I wanted to come here specially to show my support.
