A Reflection

Background

Recent events have prompted a reflection on the dynamics and challenges within the Web3 space, particularly in the context of community engagement, ethical conduct, and the intricacies of content curation.

Diversity of Perspectives

Web3 ecosystems are diverse, harboring a multitude of projects and contributors. This diversity extends to opinions and perspectives, which can sometimes result in tensions or misunderstandings. It's crucial to appreciate this diversity while fostering open dialogue for the betterment of the community.

Unearthing Concerns

In the course of our journey, concerns have been raised about the ethical conduct of certain projects. Ethical considerations are subjective and can vary, making it challenging to establish a universally agreed-upon standard. We acknowledge that perceptions of ethical behavior can differ among community members.

Abuse Discovery & Hypocrisy

One noteworthy incident involved the discovery of a large projects' abuse within the curation system. While this discovery was swept under the rug, it prompts us to collectively consider the broader implications for ethical standards across various projects within the community before making false claims on others hypocritically.

Transparency and Accountability

Transparency and accountability are fundamental pillars of any thriving community. We believe that consistent standards should be applied to address ethical concerns. It's imperative to establish mechanisms that ensure equitable evaluation and treatment of all community members and projects.

Commitment to Improvement

In navigating these challenges, our commitment remains steadfast: to contribute positively to the Web3 space. We acknowledge the importance of ongoing discussions and welcome constructive criticism as an avenue for growth. As we move forward, let's collectively work towards a more transparent, accountable, and understanding community. From here we must re-work our community curation lottery rewards and curator rewards to Layer 2's (L2). We will be move funds to various Hive L2 Reward Pools where we can effectively provide curation support encouraging creators to engage in onboarding efforts.

Commitment to Ethical Behavior

In every gaming community, conflicts can arise among players. Recently, we faced threats, including one that sought to undermine our efforts with a rather ominous wish for "good luck with your project on Hive." These threats, whether direct or veiled, have the potential to hinder the community rewards we are striving to build, affecting our mission to motivate creators for increased engagement on Web2 platforms for effective onboarding to Hive.

Bottom Line

I am steadfast in my commitment to Hive, dedicated to the onboarding cause, and determined to navigate through challenges, including bullying attempts. I uphold my principles while dealing with those who seek to harm our network. To @azircon, I extend an invitation to reconsider and acknowledge any misinformation that may have influenced your perspective. It's your right to express discontent through stake, but let it be known that your actions risk being perceived as destructive, potentially undermining the spirit of Hive. We've been successful in onboarding many individuals, a testament to our commitment. Beyond disagreements, let's focus on the greater goal of Hive's growth and prosperity.
