Why I Hate the Term, “Circle J**k” on Hive ———— edited for family censorship
I want to start by saying that I have no personal problems with the people who use this term. I’m the type of person who likes (almost) everyone.
I believe everyone has value to me and I could have value to them- of they care to notice.
I am that idiot who loves everyone. (I say “ idiot” because it often bites me in the bottom and not everyone loves me).
But— I’m tired of hearing “circle j~”.
I agree, the whales and dolphins do tend to forget that they were once minnows and red fish (the terms on Hive, for those of you reading those who aren’t Hivians. This means, “noob” or “bottom of the ladder”, in laymen terms).
I also have felt lost in the ocean. I too have expressed this.
That said, there’s some things we have to remember about society and its norms:
- friends support friends - get over it
- humans have an affinity to familiarity - that’s a natural instinct and behaviour
- showing worth takes time- a LOT of time. Too much. More than seems fair
- I support those who do me and you should support those who do you.
- Circle J~ doesn’t necessarily mean someone is a jerk- unless they are. One is capable of mutual votes and supporting outside of their circle.
Stop using the term “circle j~” so freely and incorrectly defined. There’s nothing, NOTHING, wrong with exchanging love, support, and appreciation!!!
Also, why in the hell are people adding a pornographic term to writing, art, education, and socialization?
I’m so over this sexualization of everything-
Thank you for reading my post.

Me too. Perhaps those coining the terms watch too much porn.
Lollllllll
That is true and we cannot change that fact....@anaclark
On hive and in the past on Steemy people just couldn't stop wanting to control what others did with their stake. Number 1 cause of drama
I agree. I go both ways with this. We all claim to love Hive and want to aid it’s it’s development. That means supporting others of all sizes. On the other side of that coin, what one does with their ability is of their choosing.
As you can see, I agree with both possibilities. Neither is lesser truths.
Yea, it's just like inviting someone to this space and then someone expects that I won't upvote every fuckin content they create? It's unlikely, but that doesn't make me a jerk...
Lol, I don't know if I just did this... 😂
I don't use the term but now that you mention it, it's the first time i've actually visualized it lol.
It seems that Only minnows and smaller are not allowed to upvote their friends. Hive is so weird.
Agreed.
I like Proof of a brain better. Nicer people... with big brains
