I'm not convinced johndoe is anything other than an alt account, the styles are both pretty similar despite what JR says on his JR discord private account.
The problem is he's got no way of proving it.
I never thought his content was that interesting TBH, more relentless - he's one of the few people i've muted because I've long thought he's over rewarded and didn't need to keep seeing it.
The tribalism does feel a bit odd in this age of cross-chain compatibility - but the whole Steem thing is deeply problematic in particular - given that posting to that chain is legitimising a centralised entity under the control of someone who has proved themselves to be a malicious actor.
My view is that anyone supporting that chain (NB I do buy the JD is his alt account (JC, JD, even the initials are similar) is undermining the security of this chain by giving more money and power to one of the primary threats to it - namely Justin Sun, which makes 'nuking' their rewards on here legit.
I do take your point about lack of dialogue, there is a distressing lack of that, but I think JC hit that PD button a bit too fast.
Let's not forget that it's only rewards we are talking about here - and he's clearly doing OK for himself. He could easily just carry on posting and earn a decent amount from curation.
Also, an upside to all this - now the Drama has started that's as clear a sign as any that Hive moon is just around the corner!
As I've said to you before. I'm not selling HIVE/LEO to buy STEEM. I've been powering it up for many months. I was moving steem from jrcornel to jondoe and moving hive from jondoe to jrcornel via Bittrex. If you look at the transfer sizes it clearly shows I was not dumping HIVE and LEO for STEEM. Yes JD is my alt account and perhaps I should have disclosed that it was mine long ago, though I have seen numerous people not disclose alt accounts, I didn't know that was a requirement like some are claiming. Sportsncoffee is absolutely not one of my accounts for the record.
I understand you, it's just painful to see the cross posting on Steem, especially with the size of your earnings, that's still a raw memory!
I never paid any attention of the Sportsncoffee thing btw, that's news to me.
Yea I understand that to a degree. Though where do people think the value from that was ultimately going to flow? HIVE was my home...
I can't believe you have almost a half million STEEM. A token on an illegitimate, centralized stolen network run by scumbags and thieves. Scumbags and thieves that stole millions of dollars worth of token from the people that actually built it. What the fuck are you thinking?
If content would be exclusive here, I think it would value Hive more. From the points, people are here to read content from fav authors.

Well you could always just post exclusively to Hive and see what happens, I understand it might not be that great to be 'steered' into doing this (that might be a euphemistic way of putting it) but I doubt people on here will hodl grudges like they do Hive. I'm certainly not that way inclined.
I'm the first one to hold my hands up and say i've got a slightly retarded emotional investment in this place and distrust now of all things Steem.
