from friendly bot @cheetah to hive gestapo in 6 years

Not everything is better in decentralized networks

When I was new on steem, in August 2016, a friendly bot named @cheetah asked me to respect the rules of intellectual property, otherwise I was threatened with evil.
I, having come from the conventional pages of social media, was embarrassed by my learned carelessness, promised to do better and kept to it, until today.

Today, things are a bit different.

Today there is branding and public condemnation, as in the best times of Inquisition.

Hive today does not make it easy for new users to participate.
It's now really easier to create a Twitter account or even a WeChat account (which is Musk's model) than an account here on Hive.

What I think is much worse is the downright hostile actions of the purge columns here on Hive.
I'm talking about @Hivewatchers and his downvoter @Spaminator.
They are not content with a friendly hint and a request to stop initial copyright violations, as Cheetah(?) had very wisely done on Steem.

Now they demand an admission of guilt, immortalized on the blockchain, for all time.

I, new hiver JohnDoe, plead guilty to theft of property.

No forgiveness, no mercy, no forgetting. A child molester has it better.

Especially for newcomers, who often use their real or usual name, combined with the country information, this is very demotivating and in my opinion also absolutely overshot the mark. It is understandable that one does not want to publish such a confession of guilt, it is nevertheless partly an admission of a punishable action, in some countries .

So every post and comment is downvoted by @Spaminator. Without time limit, forever.
This 0.2 cents may not be much, but show every user who wants to vote for the post or whose post is the comment of the sinner, that there is a criminal posting and commenting.

So networking is much harder for this sinner.

In addition, the downvoting of every post and every comment pushes the initial reputation down.

So if this sinner, who sometimes only included a youtube video without source in his post to show his home in his introduction post, writes many comments, he shoots himself out of visibility by low ratings at people, which is also an untruth, because it is only the@spaminator.

If this sinful newbie wants to discuss this with the @hivewatcher crew to find a solution, then he needs to create another account in a third party app, because here on Hive absolutely no one responds to his contact attempts.

On discord, this criminal, because that's what he already is, will be ordered in by the Hive Gestapo with a little luck.

As I said, for all this inquisition it is enough if an absolute newcomer has used a foreign content without indication of source once in his first posts, apologized for it and removed it.

Either plead guilty in writing for the lifetime of the blockchain or live with being branded for life by @Spaminator.

I'm posting this here in this community because I suspect some of the important movers and makers for Hive's future are here.

Is this really how you have to treat newbies?

Wouldn't it be better to take newbies by the hand, maybe give them a link with the rules and insist on deleting the crime and be good?

But probably the community funded @Hivewatcher with tens of thousands of dollars, represented on Discord by the Hive-Gestapo is right:

Thanks for reading, thinking about and have a nice day.
