How often does Taylor Swift come and say hello to you?
I'm sorry but I think you're too deep into the Hive bubble to be able to see where I'm coming from.
Decentralized means the individual would make that decision. Much like the real world. Someone saying they're not a valid community member for not saying hello and acknowledging everyone, probably wants more control than they deserve.
I wouldn't expect Swift to have any interest in Hive. She will make billions anyway.
Every step she takes is worth 20k, at least. Of course she wouldn't come and play for 1000 people and be interested in being sprinkled with tokens.
We have to set realistic expectations :)
As a human, she's the same as us. Things weren't always this way for her. Even at the beginning, how often did she say hello to you? lol
I expect she talked to a lot of fans when she started out, but I don't know much about her.
To clarify: It's unreasonable to expect or demand anyone say hello and mingle with everyone. Doesn't matter who it is. Neighbors are all valid community members, yet how often do they all come say hello to you? Strong chance you don't know majority of them and they don't know you. Community still thrives. You wouldn't tell your neighbors to leave or work harder just because they don't say hello to you, or act like they don't belong there because you don't know one another. If you did, you're being a dysfunctional community member, causing problems in the neighborhood.
This is a community. Synonymous with city. We have plenty of examples of how those function in the real world, so this should all come naturally to people.
Some of the most successful people in the world, bringing tremendous value to communities, have never said hello to you. It's something to think about.
Some people here create the vibe they think they are "The Hive Community" and everyone else here is an outsider until those "outsiders" adhere to "The Hive Community code of conduct."
Naturally, that would creep people out. It's archaic and dysfunctional.
There are lots of different scenarios where people relate to each other. I can't say I know my neighbours too well and have no say in what they do.
Can we even say who runs the Hive community? A lot of the whales don't get too involved, but some with big stakes or delegations will use them to impose their own 'code'. We ought to be acting in the interests of the platform as a whole, but some enjoy that power.
I've seen someone today getting pissed off with the 'police' and their rules. He's been around for years, so should know what to expect, but new people may be surprised/shocked.
