I mean, a meltdown truly would have been a lot more fun, wouldn't it have been? This was likely a missed opportunity on my part so I guess we put it in the failure column, lol. The "flounce" is a beloved Steemit-era term that's not been uttered 'round these parts for too long.
I always appreciate the fun and the help~ 🖤 but yes, the truth is quite dry and responsible. Overwhelmingly, people have been great, but there is still a chasm to bridge of users and witnesses who believe some of us who may have been consensus long term are against them and only in it to line our pockets despite years of work to the contrary. I think where I'm at for now I can continue to help us all compete and collaborate a little better. Hopefully, at least 😂
Detractors are a necessary evil that keep you humble and point out potential places you need to look at doing work, while supporters keep you from breaking under the strain. There is equal frustration with what I've made already alongside others who are damn pissed I've not made a proposal. It's a sticky spot I'm not quite yet ready to tackle!
Yes, as an avid meltdown attendee, I agree; missed opportunity. So what if they're dirty looks. Views are views and this popcorn wont eat itself.
All jokes aside, I hear what you're saying and from what I've witnessed over the years, these days I feel confident pointing out maturity and rationality are on the rise. The scales were tipping in the opposite direction for quite some time for 'reasons' that didn't make sense to a lot of people, during a period where the entire world was falling apart. Everyone was on edge. I'm seeing things shift. Folks are settling down.
You're wise to point out the necessity of all contributing factors only leading to a healthy/productive balance.
I think a proposal would work out well for you. Marky hinted at firing up you own witness. That would probably work out as well. And if not, freak out! It'll be fun.
