Compliment Bombs: An Idea to Share Excellent Posts from Hive, Make People Feel Great, and Expose People to the FreeCompliments Community

avatar
(Edited)

Let’s introduce the concept of a Compliment Bomb, a truly explosive idea for FreeCompliments! You’ll have to forgive all of the puns that will inevitably appear in this post.

What is a Compliment Bomb?

The idea behind a compliment bomb is to reblog a post which we like straight to FreeCompliments, so that it can be complimented by the community. We strongly encourage quality content, and believe that it deserves engagement and compliments!

A compliment bomb would come about when multiple members of our community come to the post and write out compliments. It’s an explosion of love brought on by our community.

How do we deploy a Compliment Bomb?

In order to ensure that the recipient is aware that this is coming from FreeCompliments, simply write out your compliment and addend the following text at the end:

I'd like to reblog this post to the FreeCompliments community I think this deserves a "Compliment Bomb" from our members, and I hope that you enjoy the explosion of love you'll collectively receive from us. 😁

This is how I wrote it out for the very first Compliment Bomb (note that I also chose to include Threads for further exposure, where I used the #freecompliments tag):

)

Then, I crossposted this using the FreeCompliments community account @hive-140084. If you want to reblog it yourself, please feel free to do so. If you want your blog page clean and would rather not do it yourself, tag @hive-140084 and the community account will gladly do the reblogging!

When reblogging, I wrote the following description so that it’s clear what we found so compliment-worthy (although our generous members can likely find other things to compliment as well!). Here’s an example:

)

Examples sourced from this crosspost

Once seen by the community account, you’ll get voted for sharing quality content, giving a compliment (which is the whole point of this initiative!), and helping promote the community.

Conclusion

We can set off our Compliment Bombs at any day or time that we want! The shrapnels of joy will be appreciated by the masses, and the smiles produced will by dynamite. It’s a simple and highly rewarding process!

What do you think?

I would love to hear the opinions about these methods of curation/voting from everyone who is currently a member of FreeCompliments, since you’re all inaugural members! Anyone else who finds this page is also very welcome to voice their opinion. We’re all about free speech, and everyone’s experience has value.

Yippeeee! This is such a thoughtful movement. And I'm glad to be a part of it. Hive has become a family and a home to most of us and it would really put a smile on the face of someone if the person got a compliment bomb. Gives that homey feeling and encourages the person to do more.
I don't know if we've officially started but if not, I can't wait to start. There are some really quality posts out there that deserve attention and of course, compliments. Well-done.✨🤗🥰

Thanks so much! I think this can really help Hivers, especially those who happen to be down. In a case like this, it can help those who are newcomers and struggling to thrive, should you find such an account with quality content. And yes, please go ahead and start on it right away - I want FC to grow into a big movement on Hive in the hopes that it make this the most friendly platform out there. 😊

The idea is great, the main thing is not to abuse this tool and there should not be some misunderstanding afterward. I'm also a little concerned about the effectiveness of this. In the early days of Hive, I had trouble finding the first post that didn't have the payments crossed out and I kept wandering in confusion.) But maybe I'm the only one who's like that.) 😜😂

Interesting thoughts; thanks for sharing! I'm wondering what instances you'd consider the usage abusive (i.e. doing it too many times per day, or using it as self-promotion)? Just from your experience, so that I can anticipate and prepare for what may happen.

I can still see the trouble in finding the initial post on reblogs lol. It took me a couple of tries to find the right post as well!

😂😜 Yeah, that's how Hive works so far))

In the pursuit of upvotes or comments, people may repost excessively if they see the benefit. Although I figure as long as the payoff is only in the number of comments, it shouldn't be a problem. And then, as we've already talked about, you can gently change the rules of the game)

Almost forgot to reply to this, apologies!

I can see how this would be a potential issue; however, I think it's largely alleviated by the fact that this must be preceded by a compliment in the original comment. Thus, it's still a self-fulfilling victory, even if it eventually becomes excessive (something we can rapidly address if it becomes a problem!).

So far, I'm still awaiting the first one from someone other than myself lol. 😂
