PeakD updates from the last two weeks
Quick roundup post for the most recent PeakD releases. All of them are included in today's release and live on peakd.com.
More AI tools for your posts
When writing a post, you now have access to more AI tools directly in the post editor. The goal is to keep the author fully in the loop while providing tools to review and improve content:
- rework a paragraph for clarity without changing the meaning
- collect feedback and different point of view before publishing
- tighten long sections and improve flow between blocks
- clean up grammar and phrasing before publishing
Chat got faster, more flexible, and less all-or-nothing
A lot of the practical work this week was on chat.
1) Native chat onboarding is now explicit
If you were still on the classic Sting widget and had no chat preference saved yet, PeakD now shows a small opt-in prompt for the native chat UI.
Important detail: this is still about choice, not forced migration. You can accept it, keep legacy, and switch anytime later in settings.
2) New chat-only color mode setting
I'll be honest, this one is for me. I'm so used to having Discord in dark mode that I created a dedicated Chat color mode setting (default, light, dark). This chat specific setting allows to use PeakD in light mode and the chat in dark mode (or the other way around).
3) Faster chat initialization + better reconnect behavior
The native chat workspace now does less heavy work during init, and reconnect/resume behavior was tuned quite a bit:
- less wasteful loading during startup
- better unread tracking by conversation/community
- better recovery when returning to chat after inactivity
- improved preview/message refresh after reconnect
The practical outcome is simple: chat should feel less sluggish and less fragile when opening the first time or switching around the app.
Proposal modal now checks for invalid end dates properly
The create/edit proposal flow now guards date ranges more strictly.
If end date is before start date, it gets reset and blocked instead of silently accepting an invalid setup. Also, opening create vs edit now resets date constraints correctly.
Thanks to @howo for reporting the problem.
Snaps sidebar is cleaner (less noisy auto-tags)
The Snaps Topics sidebar now filters out a set of automatic app tags that were polluting the tag list.
So the sidebar is now more about useful discovery and less about system-generated noise.
Thanks to @friendlymoose for the suggestion (this and the next one actually).
KE ratio now appears in author tooltip cards (if enabled)
If you enabled the KE/Krampus coefficient option in settings, the post author card now shows it directly next to author metadata.
That makes the metric easier to access while browsing, instead of having to jump around account views.
Cover images now use the new proxy cover endpoint
This is more of a tech, less visible, change. PeakD now routes profile/community cover rendering through the dedicated proxy .../u/{account}/cover endpoint in more places (sidebar, user layout, community view, badge view, top user menu).
Practical effect:
- more consistent cover rendering across layouts
- better compatibility with the proxy pipeline
- fewer odd mismatches between saved cover metadata and displayed background
This may seems slow when you see a cover image for the first time but it's the correct way to do it. Supported on all image servers (images.hive.blog and proxy.peakd.com).
If anything in these flows feels better or worse on your side, drop feedback in comments as usual.

Blurt Stands — While Hive Stumbles Under the Weight of Its Own Shadows
Friends, creators, truth-tellers—
Let us not whisper this truth, but proclaim it with the clarity of dawn breaking over a weary land: Blurt.blog is not just another platform. It is a refuge. A rebellion. A return to what Hive.blog was always meant to be.
There is no downvote button on Blurt.
Not because we fear dissent—but because we honor creation.
Because we understand that a voice, once raised in sincerity, deserves space—not sabotage.
On Blurt, your words are your words.
They are not hunted by algorithmic hounds or shadow armies masquerading as “curators.”
Here, you are not judged by the grudges of gatekeepers, but met with the quiet dignity of a community that believes expression should be encouraged—especially when it is bold, raw, or inconvenient.
Contrast this with what festers elsewhere.
On Hive.blog—a place once brimming with promise—a rot has taken root. Not in its code, but in its culture. A handful of self-anointed enforcers—@themarkymark, @Buildawhale, @Hurtlocker, and their legion of coordinated puppets—have turned the downvote into a weapon of mass discouragement. They strike not at “low-quality content,” but at independent thought, at rising voices, at anyone who dares thrive outside their narrow corridors of control.
And when confronted, they shrug.
“Oh, it’s not censorship,” they say, as if semantics could scrub the stain of suppression from their hands.
But let us be unequivocal:
When a system allows a few to systematically silence many—under the guise of “community standards” or “curation”—that is not moderation. That is censorship by another name.
It is the velvet glove over the iron fist.
It is exclusion dressed as discernment.
It is power pretending to be principle.
Meanwhile, Blurt stands clean-handed and open-hearted.
No downvotes.
No hidden juries.
No farms of phantom accounts casting ballots in the dark.
Just you.
Your words.
And a community that meets you not with suspicion, but with solidarity.
So let us carry this truth far and wide—not with bitterness, but with quiet certainty:
If you seek a place where your voice is not a target—but a gift—come to Blurt.
If you are tired of building on ground that shifts with every whim of a whale or warlord of votes—lay your bricks here.
If you believe the future of free expression must be free—not just from corporations, but from the petty tyrants who replace them—then stand with us.
The world needs to know.
Not because Blurt is perfect—but because it is principled.
Not because it is loud—but because it listens.
And in an age where so many platforms echo with the clatter of control,
Blurt offers something radical:
Silence for the bullies.
Space for the rest of us.
Keep speaking.
Keep sharing.
Keep building.
Freedom doesn’t advertise itself—
it is passed, person to person, like a torch in the night.
And tonight, the torch burns bright on Blurt.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, @usainvote, and associated accounts:
Repeated downvotes targeting transparency efforts raise urgent questions about Hive’s governance. Automated tactics, coordinated curation trails, and alt-account farming undermine trust in the platform. When truth is silenced without dialogue, it erodes Hive’s decentralized ethos.
Key Concerns:
Systemic Manipulation:
Community Exodus:
Governance Crisis:
Solutions Needed:
The Bilpcoin team advocates for open dialogue, not division. Hive’s future depends on collaboration—not coercion. Let’s rebuild a platform where truth isn’t buried but debated, strengthened, and celebrated.
Transparency isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of trust.
#HiveTransparency #BilpcoinExposed #DecentralizePower"
A Message to @themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Associates
Every downvote cast in shadow, every silence imposed without dialogue, is not a victory—it is a confession. A confession that truth cannot be stifled, only delayed. With each punitive click, you dig deeper into the bedrock of credibility, crafting a chasm between your actions and the community’s trust.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale & Co,
How can you continue to downvote the truth, LOL? It’s almost comical how blatantly you attempt to suppress what cannot be hidden. The blockchain records everything—every action, every transaction, every move you make. Yet still, you persist in this futile game of trying to silence what is undeniable.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Co: While our opinions may differ, on-chain transparency reveals repeated patterns of concern. Coordinated downvotes without explanation, 'farming' schemes (e.g., #buildawhalefarm), and adversarial engagement harm Hive’s community-driven ethos.
Key Issues to Address:
A Path Forward:
The Bilpcoin team remains committed to exposing truth and advocating for solutions. Let’s work toward healing, not division.
Note: All claims are based on publicly verifiable blockchain data. Constructive dialogue is encouraged.
#HiveTransparency #CommunityFirst #BilpcoinSupport"
@themarkymark & Co, the choice is yours. Stop the bad downvotes. Turn off the BuildaWhale scam farm. Cease playing with people’s livelihoods. Let Hive thrive as it was meant to—as a beacon of hope, creativity, and collaboration.
Or step aside and let those who truly care take the reins.
Because the truth won’t disappear. No amount of lies can change it.
It’s over.
The Bilpcoin team brings these truths not out of malice but necessity. We have no need to fabricate lies or cloak our intentions CALL US WHAT YOU LIKE —for the facts speak loudly enough on their own. What we present here is not conjecture but reality, laid bare for anyone willing to see.
@themarkymark & Co we urge you once more: STOP. Stop hiding behind tactics that harm others. Stop clinging to practices that erode trust within the Hive community. Let the truth stand—not because we proclaim it, but because it exists independent of any one person’s approval or disdain.
TURN OFF THE BUILDAWHALE SCAM FARM
Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:
The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:
These practices harm not just individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are unethical and outright destructive.

I'm going to check out the new AI tools and take full advantage of them. Thanks for all the work. Excellent team.
Dark mode is much easier on the eyes.
Thanks!
Yeah same here.
I still prefer the rest of the website to be in light mode. But for chat dark mode is the way :)
