Newbies itiative Task 2. Guidelines and markdowns

How is Hive different from other social media platforms like Web 2

Hive is different from other social media platforms for the following reasons👇👇

Hive is a decentralized blockchain platform that is not owned and controlled by a single person while other social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, etc are owned and controlled by somebody.

Hive provides control over one's content while other social media platforms have control over one's content.

Hive rewards us for creating content that can be exchanged for other cryptocurrencies while other social media platforms are attention seekers.

Hive encourages quality content and users have more control over their content, unlike other social media platforms.

Hive provides a strong community for engagement and interaction among users by voting on content to determine its value and relevance

Hive stores and verifies content, ensuring there's transparency and maximum security.

Vivid explain the following terminologies in your understanding

Plagiarism: This is an act of copying someone's content without the full credit to the owner that is without acknowledging the owner.
Plagiarism is also an act of taking credit for another person's work. Plagiarism can be in the form of text, images, words, ideas,s, etc without proper citing. This is highly prohibited on the hive and it attracts punishment.

Vote begging: This is an act of tagging a lot of people you don't know for votes on your post. Vote begging for a vote without quality contest which can lead to downvotes.

Post recycling: This is an act of taking an old post for a new post that is repeating an old post consistently. Engaging in this act can attract a penalty that is downvoted.

In what ways is the use of tags relevant to your post? Also, do you think that the abuse of tags may attract downvotes to your post? If yes or no, explain. Also, list 5 general tags you know

The use of tags is relevant because this is a part of the hive. It helps expose your post to the right people searching for content to curate. With the use of the right tags, your post can easily be accessible.

Tags connect your post to related topics and communities and it increases post visibility by curators. The right tag leads to upvotes, comments, reblogs, and delegation.

Yes, the abuse of tags may not attract votes because curators might find it difficult to access your post and this can lead to downvotes. Downvotes mean removing one's reward.

Misuse of tags also undermines the integrity of the post and it misleads curators searching for specific content. This attracts a penalty.

Five general tags are:

• Proof of brain
• Vyb
• Hive-engine
• Inleo
• Pimp
