Twitter POSH on snaps

Before announcing and going through with the idea, I wanted to check it with the community first.

Let's go into the details...

The why.

X closed itself off from the rest of the world upon Musk's acquisition in a big way by limiting usage of their API's which caused a lot of different apps to stop working. They created a tier list and @poshtoken was surpassing the 2nd tier by a margin of 5-6x in activity, this meant that we could not make due with just the 2nd tier API which would've cost $100/month. The 3rd tier was $42,000/month so obviously that was ludacris to expect to pay those amounts for API access to cover the automation of all things POSH on X.

While we've shifted focus onto Reddit lately with @redditposh, it is quite different from X as the sharing there works similar to communities on Hive, with each one having its own rules and Reddit generally being against the big subreddits wanting to take users off-site, thus they've put a lot of money into making Reddit keep their users on-site at most times by having their own hosting services for images, gifs and videos.

The how.

With snaps, we could use the HivePOSH community to snap shares or general tweets that mention Hive and we'd want others to participate in them, i.e. boost, leave comments, leave likes, etc. Sharing them on snaps would be easy, just a link to the tweet and the tweet would be embedded for easy view on @peakd.

We could then encourage users to go and like the tweet, leave a comment under the tweet and maybe copy-paste it under the snap so that you could get rewarded by the original author with a vote or by @poshtoken curators. Simply leaving a comment mentioning you liked it would already work quite well and you could be rewarded just for participating in boosting the outreach of hive-related tweets through our curation system and @commentrewarder tipping due to engagement.

The not.

Obviously we don't want this to get abused, people need to make sure these shares and snaps of tweets wouldn't get overrewarded. In the same boat we also wouldn't want to make snaps a spamfest just with tweets and shares of hive links through tweets. Maybe @asgarth and the team behind @peakd could make the HivePOSH community snaps have their own container so they wouldn't get intertwined with the regular snaps? Just an idea. Maybe resnaps could then still appear on the other container for the important ones, dunno.

The idea is also great because good timed tweets getting a boost and engagement by others here would boost the visibility on other important tweets.

Example:

Someone discussing freedom of speech platforms and decentralized social media may get spammed by comments suggesting some random new friendtech copypastas with fake engagement and bot activity on them, but a hive user suggesting Hive and then snapping about the reply on the tweet could get a boost by genuine users here finding out about the reply and quickly getting to the right place to vouch for the reply with their own comment, a like and repost, etc. All while being rewarded here through upvotes and tips.

Anyway, I'm sure there's tons of other useful scenarios this could be beneficial to hive so I'd love to hear your thoughts if we ought to move forward with this activity.
