Curiosity killed the cat, but the truth brought it back to life
I didn't know the continuation to this quote either...
About rules on Hive... I believe the notion of "decentralization" makes them rather... limited in scope. Where I see them more "enforced" than elsewhere is where the reward pool or the DHF funds are involved. The problem is that we see sporadic witch hunting campaigns rather than a clearer conduit that should be followed and people not following it not be rewarded with author rewards or HBD for the DHF proposals. The problem is there aren't many other alternative rewards with considerable value either, if, for example, someone doesn't want to follow that conduit, but feels attracted by the conduit/rules from a certain community on Hive.
