• Greywarden > Through educational videos from Tik-history. I found some very revealing points on the differences between Socialism, National Socialism, Marxism and Fascism. But what struck me the hardest was the real definition of Fascism. I kept using that word to refer to National Socialist and i was so mistaken. So, here is what i learned on Tik-history on the video named fascism defined. Below are the major points i got out of it. These are things i didn't know and i am sure will help many of us understand the real definition of Fascim as understood by its creators and coined by Benito Mussolini.

    1. Mussolini initally was not racist towards Jewish people as Hitler was. Mussolini's Mistress Margehrita Sarfatti was Jewish. She was his mistress from 1911 to 1938. Source: Farrell, "Mussolini: A new life" chapter 11.

    2. Margherita Sarfatti was Jewish, a Feminist and a member of the Fascist party of Italy. More than 10k Jews were in fact members of the Fascist party of Italy.

    3. The Question is. If Fascism is a synonym of National Socialism. Why was Mussolini not racist towards Jewish people nor did he murder his own people? Why did the Fascist party not condemn feminist ideas if fascism is a synonym of National Socialism?

    4. Mussolini's Government did not have Anti Jewish laws. Mussolini had to create Anti Jewish Laws after Hitler's influence to please him in 1938. Prior to that there were no such laws. Mussolini wouldn't have to create anti-jewish laws if fascism was a race based Socialism like Nazi Germany.

    5. Definition of Fascism: You can properly call a Trade Union a Syndicate. Syndicalism means Trade Unionism. A Trade Union is a group of workers or a bundle of workers. In the Italian language a bundle of sticks is a fascio and Italian Trade Unions = Fasci. Hence, the term Fascism. Which means Trade Unionism.

    6. Mussolini's Fascism specifically defined: National Syndicalism with a Philosophy of Actualism. Source: Anthony James Gregor, "Mussolini's intellectuals." P60, P80-83, P99.

    7. Gregor Defines Fascism: "(Fascism was) the Totalitarian Cooperative, and ethical state - the final collectivist synthesis of nationalism, syndicalism, and Actualism." Source: Anthony James Gregor, "Mussolini's intellectuals." P99.

  • Why do you guys continue to use a proven to fail tactic? If you broke a blockchain with under 50k users with only a small fraction active, you don't know what you're doing. The Influencer part is where you are really lost, though.

    What you guys (SoMee) really need is an onsite "Community" Manager who makes all your announcements through posting on an official account on the platform, keeps us updated on the topics announced over time, is a hype person and runs contests/challenges on behalf of and on the platform itself. We need some life injected into SoMee and that won't be done by simply getting Influencers to sign up. A Community anything is about building community and that's not what Dallyboy is doing. Oh and, you need to support those contributing, not spammers, but instead you support more spammers than content creators. A losing strategy!!!

    We need Influencers to be exclusive (That's unlikely to happen) and we need to find unique and interesting ways to not only keep their followers when they come, but encourage them to be active and add content not found anywhere else. We need to create a fun atmosphere where people want to be here and contribute positively, especially at first. On top of that, you need to be supporting the users who are trying to do this themselves. CryptoCouple_JED is a good example, but you've given their attempts zero support.

    That's concerning and will bite you in the ass. IS BITING YOU IN THE ASS! Those who you consider employees should be setting a good example by posting relevant quality content as well, but that's not happening either. [Bejodomen] is an example of who's setting a bad precedent. He doesn't interact, isn't posting quality content, shows no interest in building a SoMee Community and it shows in his low follower count. The followers he does have are just after his vote and could care less about him or his content. If he doesn't care, that says volumes.

    Currently, the #SoMeeKrakens are raping and pillaging, but adding zero value at any level. AND... when the Official account's #Hive reputation is near zero, your claims of having the support of Hive is bullshit!

  • Where did all the quality and semi-quality content creators go and why's the SME market bottoming out. I'm all in, but when are you guys going to start to use the gamification of the platform to help liven things up a bit, christopherkramer.10 and Dallyboy. The dip started weeks ago and it's still dropping. I'm having trouble using all my votes at 100%. We need a pickup!

  • #SoMeeUserTips~The Importance of Keeping your Content Fresh, Interesting, Original and Informative. At the very least, Original and Interesting

    The two main differences between FaceBook and #BlockchainSocials are that the majority of your friends and family aren't here and you earn through your content. In the rare case that all of your friends and family are here, this might not pertain to you, but if you want to earn more, you must gear your content towards those who don't know you personally. For this reason, selfies and close-ups of your latest dinner or drink probably won't interest most of your followers.

    To get more upvotes you must figure out what your followers are interested in or find a way to make what you post more interesting for others. This not only means keeping your content fresh, but also making sure it has enough detail, so that others can learn something from it. If you consistently post close-up selfies or a picture of the beer you're drinking, your followers will get bored fast. On top of that, low effort descriptions aren't very helpful or interesting to the masses either.

    Right now SoMee is pretty small, so competition is quite light. You may be getting enough upvotes to earn a decent amount now, but as the platform grows those upvotes will move to those putting more effort into their content. A picture of your lunch with a description simply saying 'Lunch' is going to get old fast and will probably result in your followers either unfollowing you or ignoring your content more and more. I'm upvoting posts I wouldn't normally want to compensate and that will change when more content creators sign up.

    The key is to bring others somewhere new and give them information they may not already know. It's fine if you are in the photograph, but you shouldn't be the main focus. The scenery in the background is what most of your followers are interested in, your culture, the product you're using or even the food you're eating. The key is to give them some useful information about those things.

    Instead of just showing us your 'Lunch', let us know if you made it or bought it from a restaurant. If so, what's it called? What special ingredients are used in it? Give us enough, so we can at least research it further on our own. We can't do that if you just tell us it's 'Lunch'.

  • Just attended a big event that was hosted by a group in hawaii called Hawaii Entrepreneurs and Hawaii Content Creators which had a great turnout. Most of hawaiis biggest content creators and influencers all in one room. I was able to network and pitch tons of these guys Somee and they’re all stoked to try it! I also know the owners of this event and will possibly do a group ama to promote somee to this hawaii community. In the near future I’ll be attending events like this all over the USA!

  • Honestly, the world needs SoMe.e Jordan Peterson apparently needs to go through social media "re-training" to not lose his license. Luckily he's achieved "escape velocity" as they call it. Basically, he's famous enough and earns enough to not care if he get's "demonetized". Bret Weinstein has not though, and believe it's the case with a lot of the "lower layered" intellectual content creators. All of them need a social media that they can trust to build their earnings on

  • Someone reported 4 of my posts to Hive watchers, and i have recieved 4 strikes, for posting memes, they called it plagarism, they wernt watermarked. I think this is unfair, meme creators dont care about credit if they dont water mark their meme. Most memes, you cant even really trace back to an original creator
    To prove a point, here is a meme I created like a year ago, i never watermarked it, although i have posted it on twitter many times. But I didnt watermark for a reason. I dont care abt credit for that meme. if someone posts it, it shouldnt be considered plagarism, its a meme, and it should be understood that if a meme isnt watermarked, it is fair for public use. Most of the time, you cant even identify the actual creator of a meme.
    I will refrain from posting for a few days after this post, just so I can make sure Ive given people an option to explain to me whats up, and then imma keep posting memes until my hive account gets blacklisted ig bc someone wants to report me posting memes. Note: after this(i eventually get blacklisted bc someone wants to spam report my posts without attempting to explain to me what im doing wrong or giving me a warning) tho, i wont be ranting and raving about hive as a platform, as i have been recently to friends alongside somee, but instead, just somee, as I will continue posting via somee while blacklisted...if anybody reading this, could tell me more abt maybe how i should be thinking about this, or about how they think about it, let me know. But i see alot of people posting memes not getting their rewards removed and reported.
    Part of me wonders if my political content rifled someones feathers. i suspect it may of, but again, im not sure, because of the nature of the system, i dont know why they reported. its marked as plagarism, but i mean, its fucking memes, idk. Im just venting into the void. In short, the memes will continue, and to whoever reported those posts of mine, fuck you

  • CNN Content Creators disguised as Journalists exposed as frauds.
    May 26, 2022
    The post-mortem on a CNN investigation raises questions about the network’s journalistic standards.
    By Pesach Benson, United with Israel
    Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh’s death while covering a shootout in Jenin is tragic. Unfortunately, we may never know whether she was killed by Palestinian terrorists or errant Israeli gunfire.
    Israeli investigators did not get to examine her body, and the Palestinian Authority adamantly refuses to let the IDF inspect the bullet.
    If blaming Israel for killing Abu Akleh is premature and prejudicial, accusing the IDF of deliberately firing on her is a blood libel.
    Yet, that is exactly what CNN did with an investigative report published on Tuesday that reads more like a hit piece.
    “”They were shooting directly at the journalists’: New evidence suggests Shireen Abu Akleh was killed in targeted attack by Israeli forces,” the headline breathlessly declares.
    The Context
    Abu Akleh was covering an IDF counter-terror raid in Jenin. A wave of terror attacks in recent weeks were mostly carried out by Palestinians from the Jenin area.
    Jenin is a stronghold of the Fatah-aligned Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror groups.
    A veteran journalist, Abu Akleh knew the risks of covering IDF military operations.
    The 51-year-old reporter had worked for Al Jazeera for 25 years — half of her life. She made a point of wearing a helmet and flak jacket that said “press” to identify her as a reporter.
    Helmets made of kevlar and flak jackets with protective ceramic inserts are certainly helpful. So is the press strip.
    CNN’s Dubious Sources
    No bullet?
    No problem, insists CNN. “Even without access to the bullet that hit Abu Akleh, there are ways to determine who killed Abu Akleh by analyzing the type of gunfire, the sound of the shots and the marks left by the bullets at the scene,” the report said.
    If only it was that easy.
    Unfortunately, a closer look at CNN’s key sources for its investigation only raises more questions about its journalism.
    Shatha Hanaysha: A 29-year-old Palestinian writer who was with Abu Akleh when she was shot.
    CNN identifies her as a journalist, but according to HonestReporting, Hanaysha “openly shares her extremist views on social media pages, including support for Palestinian terrorists who have carried out deadly attacks against Israeli civilians.” Posts include showering praise for Palestinian “martyrs” killed while attacking Israelis.
    She told CNN, “They wanted to kill us. This is why they shoot; I don’t have another reason why they shoot. And they know we are journalists.”
    Jamal Huwail: A Fatah official and a professor at Jenin’s Arab-American University who helped drag Abu Akleh to the side of the road after she was hit.
    CNN reported that Huwail “believed the shots were coming from one of the Israeli vehicles, which he described as a ‘new model which had an opening for snipers,’ because of the elevation and direction of the bullets. ‘They were shooting directly at the journalists,’ Huwail said.”
    According to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which monitors and translates Arab media, Huwail has praised terrorists who killed Israelis in interviews with Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeen TV, which is run by Hezbollah.
    In one interview, Huwail described Muhammad Abu Al-Kiyan as a “lone lion” after he murdered four Israelis in a Beersheba terror attack. In a separate interview, Huwail said that Diaa Hamarsheh, who killed five people in Bnei Brak, “brought light into the hearts of the Palestinians, and the hearts of every free human being who yearns for freedom.”
    Chris Cobb-Smith: The director of Chiron Resources, whose website describes itself as “one of the leading providers of News Safety consultants.” Based in Britain, Cobb examined video footage from the scene which CNN collected from various cameramen and corresponded with CNN by email.
    Cobb pronounced that Abu Akleh was “killed in discrete shots — not a burst of automatic gunfire.” He reached this conclusion by poring over images of bullet marks on a nearby tree.
    Confidence-inspiring?
    Hardly.
    What CNN didn’t say about Cobb was that he is also an advisor to the London-based Forensic Architecture.
    According to HonestReporting, Cobb and Forensic Architecture have “produced numerous pseudo-scientific investigations into Israel that have reached provenly biased and misleading conclusions.”
    Audio Forensics
    CNN also turned to Robert Maher, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Montana State University. He specializes in forensic audio analysis — in layman’s terms, the analysis of recorded sound.
    After watching the videos, examining their audio and explaining his conclusions to CNN by email, the report said the distances described by Maher “correspond almost exactly with the Israeli sniper’s position.”
    But in a separate interview with Bellingcat, Maher stressed an important caveat. “The estimate of the distance depends upon the air temperature, since this affects the speed of sound,” he said.
    Bellingcat went on to write, “While the calibre of bullet analysed is also consistent with reports that the bullet which killed Abu Akleh was 5.56mm, it is also important to note that this calculation does not account for the possibility that another weapon not visible or captured in videos from the scene could have been used.” (emphasis added).
    This caveat didn’t appear in CNN’s coverage.
    Report Doesn’t Add Up
    The rest of CNN’s coverage featured videos and diagrams outlining purported Israeli and Palestinian lines of fire. None of the videos showed Abu Akleh at the moment she was hit.
    Bottom line: CNN’s journalism doesn’t add up.
    Its witnesses don’t pass the sniff test. One expert has a history of prejudice and shoddy research. Another expert’s key caveats inexplicably aren’t acknowledged. A layperson watching the videos doesn’t know what to watch for.
    None of this warrants a libelous headline accusing Israel of deliberately killing Shireen Abu Akleh.
    If CNN’s hot for investigative journalism, here’s an idea: Get the damn bullet.

CNN reported that Huwail “believed the shots were coming from one of the Israeli vehicles, which he described as a ‘new model which had an opening for snipers,’ because of the elevation and direction of the bullets. ‘They were shooting directly at the journalists,’ Huwail said.” According to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which monitors and translates Arab media, Huwail has praised terrorists who killed Israelis in interviews with Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeen TV, which is run by Hezbollah. In one interview, Huwail described Muhammad Abu Al-Kiyan as a “lone lion” after he murdered four Israelis in a Beersheba terror attack. In a separate interview, Huwail said that Diaa Hamarsheh, who killed five people in Bnei Brak, “brought light into the hearts of the Palestinians, and the hearts of every free human being who yearns for freedom.” Chris Cobb-Smith: The director of Chiron Resources, whose website describes itself as “one of the leading providers of News Safety consultants.” Based in Britain, Cobb examined video footage from the scene which CNN collected from various cameramen and corresponded with CNN by email. Cobb pronounced that Abu Akleh was “killed in discrete shots — not a burst of automatic gunfire.” He reached this conclusion by poring over images of bullet marks on a nearby tree. Confidence-inspiring? Hardly. What CNN didn’t say about Cobb was that he is also an advisor to the London-based Forensic Architecture. According to HonestReporting, Cobb and Forensic Architecture have “produced numerous pseudo-scientific investigations into Israel that have reached provenly biased and misleading conclusions.” Audio Forensics CNN also turned to Robert Maher, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Montana State University. He specializes in forensic audio analysis — in layman’s terms, the analysis of recorded sound. After watching the videos, examining their audio and explaining his conclusions to CNN by email, the report said the distances described by Maher “correspond almost exactly with the Israeli sniper’s position.” But in a separate interview with Bellingcat, Maher stressed an important caveat. “The estimate of the distance depends upon the air temperature, since this affects the speed of sound,” he said. Bellingcat went on to write, “While the calibre of bullet analysed is also consistent with reports that the bullet which killed Abu Akleh was 5.56mm, it is also important to note that this calculation does not account for the possibility that another weapon not visible or captured in videos from the scene could have been used.” (emphasis added). This caveat didn’t appear in CNN’s coverage. Report Doesn’t Add Up The rest of CNN’s coverage featured videos and diagrams outlining purported Israeli and Palestinian lines of fire. None of the videos showed Abu Akleh at the moment she was hit. Bottom line: CNN’s journalism doesn’t add up. Its witnesses don’t pass the sniff test. One expert has a history of prejudice and shoddy research. Another expert’s key caveats inexplicably aren’t acknowledged. A layperson watching the videos doesn’t know what to watch for. None of this warrants a libelous headline accusing Israel of deliberately killing Shireen Abu Akleh. If CNN’s hot for investigative journalism, here’s an idea: Get the damn bullet.

  • A few days ago I saw a Venezuelan influencer named Jhonz, and he said that now that Elon Buy Twitter should take it to the Crypto world, to reward the creators for their content. But now I say. This no longer exists? Submit is an example of this, also other platforms both Hive, Steemit, and many more reward the creators for their content, and they are better than Twitter in some way, the question is that more promotion is missing, and reach more people and thus Be multiplier of the existence of social networks in the blockchain. The real brown will be that Twitter becomes something more honest and does not spread more hate or misrepresented realities. And if creators like Jhonz require a payment for their blockchain content they can come from this side that is born and still has much to do and grow.

  • What we are creating is the future way of decentralizing your social media content. Eventually, you will be able to choose where you store your data and posts on XYZ chain, on XYZ data storage protocol, uploaded to XYZ host for video etc. SoMee is all about choice and my goal as Partnership Director of SoMee is to bring as many choices for us all. That's true decentralizaton of social media to allow creators to choose where they post their content & true ownership. This is a long road it's not a short one and this plan which Phillp and I both have is a 5-10 year plan. There will be much to look forward to after we launch. However, those with an insane amount of SME voting power please realize that you aren't just holding a rewards token. That token will very quickly gain value from all its utility functions and only 2.3 million are rewarded daily. You will be earning decimals on your posts as was intended with the first platform. Those decimals will be worth a lot in value as there's a limited supply, and once more buy voting power the less to go all around.
