Some users from the community urged me to bring dMania back online. The user who convinced me was @prc. He is a great guy and the developer behind DSound. You should give DSound a try. It's a great project. Vote for @prc as witness as well.
Not much has changed since I created my last post. I don't agree with the things that are going on on Steem. I don't agree at all with the curation and reward distribution on Steem. It doesn't work at all and the completely wrong people get most of the rewards. That should be obvious to most users on Steem.
Vote selling still completely dominates the platform. Until those issues are not addressed, I don't see any future for Steem.
By bringing dMania back I am taking a new approach to the project. I am bringing it back primarily as a test and development environment. I will only focus only on developing features, nothing else. That's what I did at the beginning and the high rewards and delegations just distracted me from my initial goal, creating a great meme platform.
That said I don't care who gets rewarded or how much they get. The Steem curation and reward system doesn't work. I tried to fix the reward system by building another one on top of it. That didn't work out. That is something that has to be fixed on blockchain level. App developers shouldn't be involved in the distribution of the rewards.
Use dMania if you like it, otherwise don't. I am not going to promote dMania anymore. I am not trying to collect more delegations. I will keep the bot and curation system for now. It is the best system I could come up with. I tried it to make it as fair as possible for all users. I won't change it anymore and try to fix the broken curation on Steem. That's just a waste of time. I will only work on new features.
The Discord server stays down for now as well. 80% of the users just asked for upvotes anyway on the Discord. I don't have time for stuff like that. Maybe I will create another one at some point.
I won't post or promote new features on Steemit. I will just release them. Most of my posts on Steemit get flagged to oblivion anyway.
So for the people who like dMania, have fun with the platform. The high rewards are gone and that will make a lot of things easier and more relaxed. With all the distractions gone I will be able to release new features a lot faster. In the upcoming months I will try to make dMania as good as possible and create a great platform that can compete with existing meme platforms out there.
welcome back buddy
Nice to see you back, leaving aside what happened, I wish you all the best and I hope one day you will surpass 9gag. Like I said in the past, you are a great developer and if you use your abilities wisely I don't see why that wouldn't happen. And I'm not kidding here. In my opinion you took the right decision.
I know it sounds odd that I would say that, but it's the truth.
All the best,
Bro, on this one I have to publically disagree with you.
I don't give 1 single fuck about what Zombee writes, he is now coming back to cash in and talks about development to hide his intention of abuse once again.
I personally do not give a shit about Dmania anymore, by abusing the system he lost all my trust.
He writes that Steem is trash, why the fuck does he came back? To develop on this crap chain? Don't make me laugh.
You don't play with peoples money and especially not with my money.
I think we'll soon see a new and cool alternative to dMania, very soon 😏
Yes, but it won't be Memeit.
No it won't, working on it...
I don't agree either about the things he wrote about the steem blockchain. Actually I don't agree with the fact that he shouldn't say that, as he was profiting from vote selling from bots when the only way to get the bot upvotes where by promoting your memes with bots. And he was pushed to change the algorithm at that point, because he wouldn't have changed it if that wasn't the case. So people pumped a lot of money into bots on post from dMania.
As far the vote selling on steem, it is an issue for now, as this wasn't the vision in the beginning. I hope tough it will be controlled somehow at some point. The platforms are still in beta. But I don't agree with him saying that because he was using that stuff to make good profits, yet he claims is a very bad thing. I use bid bots also, but I ain't taking a 10% cut from the posts neither a 15% when I am chosed as a supporter. I am lucky if am at least breakeven at the end of the 7 days.
As for what I have told him I believe that he is a good developer and if he has the right mentality, which implies change. He could do something and recover his reputation, because we all do mistakes in life. And maybe he would do the right thing now.
Let's wait and see if that is the case, blaming others didn't help like you said. I hope tough that he does the right thing, that why I said that and I wished him good luck.
Some people don't deserve a second chance.
I will never forgive someone that does shit with my money.
here i totally agree with you.
I'm not trying to dis you @zombee. It's just really? You dis this platform, close down a big site, make delegations useless, and more. I hope if you plan to reopen, that you stay open. Don't get people's hopes up, if your not going to continue. If you are great :) I'm happy to have competition in the meme making market!
Memeit owner GK says he doesn't give a fuck about the delegation he receives and kicks me for talking "harsh" even tho I didn't insult him.
Imho memeit is led by a kid pissing on the users.
Now you suck zombee his dick after dissing him, you are a damn coward Kenny and naive as well.
I am not going to stand infront of you and listen to you cry about fairness when I have a god damn ethics degree and a team to lead.
Your argument was that you can withdraw your SP delegation at any time, I agreed with you and you did. If you arent happy with your current investment setup then change it, dont yell and scream like a child.
He didn't say he doesn't care about the delegations we receive. We knows it's a responsibility. But you were rude and harsh, like right now. I'm sorry for any hard feelings. I wasn't meaning to dis zombee, all I'm saying is don't start something without following through.
Wish I made a couple of screenshots before he kicked me, that little cunt. Anyway, I know what the truth is. Enjoy your tormentor.
Memeit is led by a kid.
This is what happened. We were working on Memeit. You came into our discord angry. You accused me. I told you to cool off because your frustrations were stemming from Dmania.
You dont make friends by accusing people, thats how you get the boot. I have a feeling you misread situations often and this is one of them. Best of luck to you.
Why you people are to soft this days? Having disagreements is a part of life, criticism also. Especially in business. Kicking a person out of the channel for criticizing a model of business is the worst solution. It doesn't look professional at all and will make people think that you are hiding stuff, even if you aren't. If he didn't insult you guys personally in that situation by swearing you, then I don't know what was the problem.
I saw this common practice on some crypto projects on telegram, guess what happened to those projects? Yet I didn't see people get kicked for criticizing good projects yet and the result was good : price wise and value wise. This is how you grow.
Now reap what you sow.
I wasn't angry at all till you made me angry you little prick GKTown.
I don't care about making friends.
I am not a needy little cunt like you that says "IDGAF about delegations" and then kicks people because you are too much of a pussy to hear criticism.
You being "nice" here doesn't make you look any better you deceiving bitch.
I am glad you and dmania back! I am sure we will make it great platform again. :)
Glad you're back. And thanks to @prc for changing your mind.
:frog:
GK doesn't give a fuck about the delegations and kicked me for criticizing him, it's just another trash platform led by a kid.
Would you have preferred that I attempted to persuade you to stay? I could hold your hand and help you get over your anger issues too. Grow up dude.
Of course you can abuse the situation now, be glad I didn't make screenshots motherfucker, I don't give a fuck about your shaming you lying cunt.
Really wish i was there to see this in discord becuase as of right now. It seems that the moderation system on https://memeit.lol is the fairest way possible to handle all of that. The ratios may need fixing but it hasnt even been 2 weeks yet so its too early to even say that
So glad to see you back @zombee ! I will start memeing again very soon , it was great to have a place to post that cheered me up while I was inbetween posts on Steemit !
I read your whole post and im wondering if your bot will be upvoting hourly but with less of a reward !? Or not upvoting hourly at all !? Thanks again for all the great work you have done on dMania ! Keep up the great work ! 👍✌💕🐝🐝🐝
I'm glad to see you back,I like this post.
Thank you for sharing, success is always for you
Good luck!
Okay by bring it back, is it going to be here after all? I will try to say that people loves dmania and you should know that as the creator, you're bound to be in for criticism at all time, one thing is when you are under this, try as much as clearing the air and keeping your cool at all times, steemit is a platform that contains the good, bad and the ugly but the system itself is amazing, independent and magnificent, in fact a haven for entrepreneurship.
In other words I'm grateful to @prc, he's a fantastic guy who works magic from the shadow, you've taken the right decision, get ready to accept anything to comes with being the owner of dmania, that's the mark of true leadership.
thanks for re launching dmania looking forward too making memes again, cheers :)
I 100% support you zombee bro.

Glad to hear the good news.
@zombee, thanks for sharing your knowledge & upvote.
Hello @zombee Will the Discord channel be active again?
Glad to have you back sir, ....just getting to see your post today..mybad. welcome.
@zombee Everyone is so happy that Dmania is back. I keep getting comments like "What? Dmania is back? I'm so excited!". I think the exuberance with which your return is being met is quite a testament to the fact that you have built an outstanding app that people really want to engage in. Great job and Welcome back.
Is the upvote algorithm remains same ? Like it used to be ?
And you took the right decision.
Nahh well welcomeback
Thanks for bringing dMania back. For many, this is simply a good outlet that fills a creativity void. I agree that Steemit does not have a fair rewards system, but it is what it is. Thanks again and hang in there... You are appreciated!
Hello @zombee. How are you?
I want to ask you a question. How many reputation points can attend Dmania?
I am sorry that they have flagged the sender in the meantime.
