Greetings good Hive Community

I think this is my first post on hive. Another milestone for me, one that I had no desire or intention for.

It is with a degree of sadness for Hive community that I make this offering. I know than many of you have put in a lot of effort involving long hours for some of you.

My assumption in offering this post is than many here desire to see the number of active engaged users increase, attracting investors and content creators alike.

I am concerned that the same mentality which created dwindling numbers of active users and an increase of Steemit inc funded accounts only ever used for flagging, is alive and active here on hive.

I read a post yesterday which was factually inaccurate. I recognized the intent of the poster so made a comment. Actual comment and link to it below.

Comment:

That's exactly how the US government (or any government for that matter) works.

Yes but it is not the US or any other Government that creates money. Reserve Banks and the Bank of International Settlements are privately owned businesses with the special privilege of keeping the shareholders identities hidden. It is these organization who have a strangle hold on the world

This resulted in: 5 Flags by @themarkymark + the flags below in the screenshot. Every comment I have made over the last days which received a vote received flags.

If the Hive Community want the moral high ground, you will need to do something about this mentality. If you do not is will eventually experience the same decline in value and active users the Steemit did.

Please consider re-posting I think this a very important issue.

Thank you

Edit I can no longer post with the hive interface and i need to re-enter my posting key every time i want to do something through PeadD Is that just coincidence or is it the result of deliberate intimidation through action taken?

If you are using brave the script shields block saved passwords, I'm told.

You got spunk, Joe, I like that. Hopefully putting out good content will get the bear up off of you. He does a lot of good around here, that I can tell.

Governance of Hive is identical to governance of Steem. The players are different, because Hive is run by the folks that used to run Steem while @ned held his stake and abstained from governance, and on Steem Sun Yuchen has deployed @ned's stake and rules solitarily. On both platforms whoever has enough money, whether alone, as Sun, or as an oligarchy, as on Hive, determines what happens.

@markymark has a lot of Hive, and generally participates in governing Hive. There's nothing except acquiring more stake than he and his ilk possess that can compel him to change his ways.

However, he is a human person, and can be persuaded to change what he does if the arguments he's presented convince him.

He is also fallible. He may be flagging all your posts and comments now, but sooner or later he'll quit. Even if he automates it, sooner or later the bot will break, and the flags will stop. This probably is not the solution you seek, however, because bots don't break much.

I reckon your best option is to let this account rest until he becomes fully engaged elsewhere, and to use a new account.
