Warm greetings fellow shadow hunters! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

For my entry in Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 334, I share with you just over a handful of some gorgeous shadow photos, that I took today in the late afternoon sun, showcasing the exquisite play of light and shadow on the white-variegated leaves of a shell ginger - Alpinia vitatta, growing next to the Landing (one of the community buildings). I take photos of this plant often, as it's striking in its own right, and even more so with sun and shadows dancing across its leaves.

The sharp contrast between the white and green areas of the leaves adds to the beauty of the equally contrasting sunlight and shadows, gives us a stunning scene to behold indeed. If ever a plant were photogenic, this shell ginger is certainly that! I hope that you appreciate them as much as I did when I took them! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I think that Hive frontends should allow every user to "mute" (hide) any post or comment of any other Hive user without necessary muting the entire Hive account (and publishing that hide transaction on the Hive blockchain). 🤔

That would be great when a Hive user generally loves the posts and comments of another Hive author, but doesn't like to see a small set of content from that person (such as #nsfw). 🤓😏

Indeed, it's all about the freedom to choose, so muting and blocking should be an essential component of a free and open Blockchain. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

That's a somewhat ambiguous statement, that leaves a lot of leeway in interpretation. What sorts of account actions shouldn't be published to the Blockchain? 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Some of the actions of a Hive user (regarding his or her own Hive account) which shouldn't be published on the Hive blockchain are logging in/out of a Hive dapp, and frontend-specific favorite lists or mute lists. 🤔🤯🤓
