NEWBIES INITIATIVE TASK 2.

HOW IS HIVE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS LIKE WEB2?

Hive is a blockchain platform that runs on proof of stake and it is a social network where users are able to connect and have their content shared securely. It is not owned or controlled by a single person, unlike other social media platforms.

Hive rewards creators with tokens that can be exchanged for other cryptocurrencies. Unlike other social media platforms which are mainly for attention. Also, hive give users control over their content.

Hive secures contents and makes sure they're original.

Other homes of hive are PeakD, Ecency, Splinterlands.

VIVIDLY EXPLAIN THE FOLLOWING TERMINOLOGIES IN YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING.

PLAGIARISM: This is an act of passing off someone's work, or ideas as your own without giving credit to the original author or the original source. It is not permitted on hive as it attracts punishment.

VOTE BEGGING: This is an act of tagging numerous persons, even the ones you don't know to vote on your posts. This act can lead to down votes.

POST RECYCLING: This is an act of repeating old posts. This act attracts a penalty.

IN WHAT WAYS IS THE USE OF TAGS RELEVANT TO YOUR POSTS?

The use of tags is very important because it is part of the rules of hive. Tags helps to reveal your posts to persons interested in your topic. Using of tags makes your post accessible.

Using right tags leads to upvotes, comments, delegations and even reblogging.

DO YOU THINK ABUSE OF TAGS MAY ATTRACT DOWN VOTES?

Yes, abusing tags will not attract votes because it will be hard to find your posts.

The five general tags are:

1. Proof of Brain.
2. Hive-engine.
3. Vyb.
4. Inleo.
5. Pimp.

YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT ON HOW TO USE MARKDOWNS ON YOUR POSTS. PROPERLY MAKE USE OF SOME MARKDOWNS YOU HAVE LEARNED WHILE ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS ABOVE.

I have been to use the markdowns on my post. The headers, Bold, and others from the beginning.

Thank you @nkemakonam89, @Oluwadrey and other teachers for taking out time to explain these to us.
