Winners of the Post of the Month, Compliment of the Month, and Non-Compliment Comment of the Month on the FreeCompliments Community – January 2024!
Welcome to January’s iteration of the FreeCompliments Community’s contests for Post of the Month, Compliment of the Month, and Non-Compliment Comment of the Month! The goal of this contest is to encourage the creation of quality content, both long-form and short-form, for the betterment of the community and its members.
The winner of the Post of the Month and Compliment of the Month will win 5 HSBI + 1000 Ecency Points, and runner-ups of these plus the Non-Compliment Comment of the Month will win 3 HSBI + 500 Ecency Points.
Additionally, @raymondspeaks announced that “Monthly contest winners will also get a BIG fat vote from @brofi on their latest post” – how exciting!
Thank you to everyone who voted! Curation trails were easy to find, double votes were clarified, our friendly @dustbunny was identified, and self-votes (which actually did not happen this month) were not counted. There were less votes this month and, particularly for posts, this resulted in a 4 way tie which I broke, plus a tie for compliment runner-up; otherwise, everything was based solely on number of unique votes.
Without further ado, here are our winners and runner-ups:
Post of the Month
[ENG/PT-BR] Sunday Reflections: The healing process begins within us from @shiftrox. In this post, he describes the importance of taking accountability for yourself in making changes, acknowledging that no matter how much someone tries to help another, it’s ultimately up to the person being helped to actively do what’s needed to improve their situation. It’s an essential life lesson which everyone must learn. That’s why this post is a deserving winner of Post of the Month.
5 HSBI and 1,000 Ecency Points coming your way!
And for our runner-up:
I'm still alive-not ready to return from @spoonies. This was a choice from the heart, as the user behind this account took their last bit of energy to update the community about their deteriorating health and illness. She is currently in a worse situation, and I’d like to support her however possible. This type of dedication to the community wins our runner-up prize!
3 HSBI and 500 Ecency Points coming your way!
Compliment of the Month
From @vincentnijman, this compliment directly provides empathy and shared experiences with the difficulty of wearing masks while dealing with chronic lung conditions (as a doctor without lung conditions, I can attest to how annoying it can be to wear them… even we’re not doing it as often any longer!). The connection and understanding renders it as our winner of Compliment of the Month.
5 HSBI and 1,000 Ecency Points coming your way!
And for our runner-up:
From @stortebeker, this compliment reminds us of the love that dogs can bring to their owners, and is made all the sweeter by the fact that the original post reminded him of a late pet that was clearly beloved. In honor of your dog, stortebeker, your compliment is more than worth of our runner-up prize.
3 HSBI and 500 Ecency Points coming your way!
Non-Compliment Comment of the Month
While our primary focus is on compliments, free speech and discussion is also a tremendous focus in this community. Not all conversations require compliments or agreements, but rather respectful discussion, listening, and exchanges of ideas. Thus, I believe it is essential to reward dialogues which are done in such a manner. This is a tenet of the stringent free speech principle we exercise, in a manner that we would love to see implemented in all forms of communication.
This month, it’s a comment by @maryene, displaying her own efforts towards fitness while espousing the importance of fitness. She practices what she preaches! It’s a wonderful comment, and I hope that she participates in some Fitness Friday Posts as well, since she’s clearly cut out for these challenges. At any rate, this great comment has in fact earned more votes than all other comments and posts this month, so congratulations on winning Non-Compliment Comment of the Month!
3 HSBI and 500 Ecency Points coming your way!
Conclusion
Congratulations to the winners and runner-ups of this Post of the Month, Compliment of the Month, and Non-Compliment Comment of the Month contest! I hope that this encourages you and others who see this post to continue producing quality content within the community, and to spread the principles we practice in this community out into the rest of Hive and the world around you.
The post announcing the next contest will be made in the first week of March to permit a week’s worth of nominations prior to revealing the winners.
What do you think of our winners and runner-ups? Are there are other posts or comments that you would have chosen? Are the choices and prizes fair?

More posts with further ideas incoming soon!
