This Week in Hive-Powered dApps, Tribes, & Tokens

DBuzz fends off Spam Attack, adds Profile Editing and Long-form Frontend (Alpha)
The DBuzz team fended off a spam attack this week. A bot farm using hundreds of accounts started posting random news snippets. Some users caught on to this and began downvoting the posts to counter auto-upvotes. The spammer was ticked-off and switched to more aggressive posts, calling out the down-voters. DBuzz shortly thereafter rolled out a change for mute-lists to filter out the spam. Users on DBuzz have the ability to 'follow' other mute lists.
DBuzz also released some feature updates. Users can edit profile metadata inside DBuzz now. And an alpha version of DBuzz long-form content blog.d.buzz launched. DBuzz notifications can be filtered by type, and DBuzz posts gained a sharing button to cross-post to Facebook.
