RE: Hive Improvement Proposal: Decentralize blacklists on Hive

avatar

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I hope this will not cause paying back unnecessary grudges increases.

If anybody can create a blacklist, then blacklist will be on a rise and people who does not even deserve to be on the blacklist get blacklisted either offending the owner of the blacklist stuff or getting into a little conflict.

I hope this proposal is rethink again

I see the term itself decentralized blacklist as an oxymoron

LOL you would know =)

However, I reckon @blocktrades is right, as muting is essentially the same as blacklisting from the user perspective, just less efficient and scalable. Presently we are dependent on extremely centralized blacklists to prevent massive spam from overwhelming the blockchain, and the idea here is to distribute that function, which strongly protects freedom of speech.

You seem to be the poster child for that.

Blacklisting another user of itself doesn't do anything to that user. People exchange worse insults via comments all the time.

I beg to differ. I fail to see how you can believe that stigmatizing people does nothing to them. Can you explain that to me ?

The vast majority of people will blindly follow any perceived authority. As evidence just look at the vast majority who are blindly following social distancing directives, following wearing mask directives, following directives that have bankrupted many small businesses.
Look at how the German people behaved and the atrocities they committed because of a perceived authority. The German people are no different to any other population

In this decentralized model, each person defines their own blacklist that only affects their own viewing experience.

Other people can chose to opt-in or opt-out of adopting someone else's blacklist.

By-the-way, it's nice that I can see and reply to your comments again!
