Quick follow up from the last episode about the Hive Exodus drama.
A comment on that post "Will I leave Hive" post about Blurt having censorship with a "coal list".

Lets clear the air on the coal list.
- It is a list of known plagarists
- It can be turned on or off by each individual user
- It simply places a warning label next to the plagarists posts and lets you make the decision to vote on that plagrists posts or not
- It is not censorship because it does not block anybody from posting or voting.
When compared to Hive's blacklists which frontends use to to completely block those users from showing on their frontends. Those blacklist contain more than just "plagarists". But also contains users of certain political opinions, including religious affiliations. Hive's blacklists are usually weaponized with Hive's downvote ability to destroy the users on the blacklist. That is censroship.
Blurt's "coal list" is not censorship and no where near in comparison to what Hive's blacklist does.
Let's bring them home
There is not enough tyranny in the internet space for people to care enough about their freedom of speech - @brave-smoke on Blurt.
People are not yet encouraged enough to take back social media to where it all began...the social aspect....only media and no social
If you want to attract a certain crowd...your platform must reflect that.
The world is also not yet ready to reap the rewards of crypto blogging endevours...it will take at least another couple years until cryptocurrency finally settles in....til then...the outside world only view those invested into cryptocurrency and engaging in cryptocurrency endeavours as running in circles and living in la-la land...
...moon boys will only sing to the choir...this all needs to change...
...it starts with the community, starts with the people within in.
If blurt wants to retain more of a certain type of content creators, they must first attract this sort...and to attract this sort of high IQ, high level, high effort content creators...well...
...like must attract like.
Therefore the one of the best things we can do for blurt is to going back to actual personal websites and blogs. Take it to the outer-realms.
i'm now alluding to not having our eggs in one basket...and to not stay too comfortable in our preffered social avenues.
Rather than telling people to get onto blurt because you can start earning from blogging
we could try telling people where they can go if they are tired of mind numbing doom-scrolling type content on their preferred social avenues...if they are looking for something worth while, not just new or novel, or dopamine infused t-bag contents, then blurt is the place where they will find intelligent, worth while, "old internet" style bloggers, vloggers, artists... See now the focus is on the content creator and not the content on the blockchain/blurt.
You want people to remember the content creator, and therefore through them their artist brings people home...
it's very good the crypto world is not yet ready for content creators to reap rewards. We have a lot of work to do.
