I failed to explain in the post that I wasn't trying to start a witch hunt. There won't be any exclusion of people's stake in Hive. The actual-centralized stake of the Stinc accounts on Steem were excluded in Hive's airdrop. The scenario on Steem will not replay itself.
What I want to do is tell people on this platform who they're voting for on a similar platform, and why that may not be a good thing both ethically and for the value of their own STEEM. Why do I care about that when I'm not interested in seeing Steem grow? Because DPoS voting still matters on Hive, as does understanding the norms and culture of a decentralized blockchain community. I encourage you to read some of the comments similar to yours here and my responses. In any case, thank you for the feedback.
Thanks for stopping by, but your post is an inspiration. To not trust witnesses no more. Check the above reply from one of yours? Instead of 1 huge ass dictator Sun, now we have 20 dictators instead.
Very unfortunately while you were (rather passionately driven because of the love of HIVE) you have enabled other higher ranking Hive-ians peer to yours to have the opportunity to spew certain prejudice thoughts, and unfortunately, some extremist might actually take it as "a witch hunt".
Which is now too late to retract. Not your fault, you were emotionally driven; but not others of your peer will think the same. And we now know who they are.
Most of us still have both stakes on STEEM and HIVE, and some of us hardly withdraw unless we need to pay bills or assist someone else; hoping that with both chains (and both type of network exposures), we can see how different dynamics move, whether a centralised tyrant will win, or an unbiased healthy community (as so I have thought) will win.
But this is the nature of human isn't it? Good reminders can turned sour in the thoughts and hands of wrong powerful people too.
Wishing you all the best in life.
