I don't really understand though how they were 'fucked over'. Granted, I didn't live that story as I was away at that time, but when I came back, my account was copied here and everything on Steemit was still there aswell. Didn't everyone basically get away with double their account, including any crypto on it? Might not have been a fun time and it might have been a forced copy, but in the long run (as in how it is now), I see Hive thriving and I still have 'moneyz' on Steemit. Don't we all like money?
What does Steemit's content take away from Hive? For me, Steemit is just a Korean site now where I can syphon a few cents of the rewards pool and distribute a little to other English posts.

Aah, what a good time to be away haha :P

Well.. Alot of the witnesses and other big whales accounts got either zeroed or locked, so any money they had on Steemit got frozen or zeroed, so it was useless. Sun also used the Ninja mined stake to takeover witness pos, so he could control it all. So thats why there is a lot of hate.

Posting on Steemit -> Supports Steem/Justin Sun = Not something people like here.

It appears so! :D

Okay, that does suck, but didn't the witnesses do this to him aswell at first? Atleast from what I read in a super long post about this whole mess. Basically, it looks like a divorce to me and we all get to pick who likes mommy or daddy best. We are certainly not allowed to see them both, even though the non-whales could really use the extra cash?

This is true.

After my last power down on steemit I haven't looked at it at all. Its not something I want to support.

Well thanks for explaining about this! I'm not sure I'm okay with being forced to fight other people's battles though. It's still a pretty rude reason to downvote in my book.

You are free to do what you want :p
Some people just take an offence to that xD
Just like downvotes can be used for anything really xD

Yeah, I do like the idea of downvotes, except that they are mostly being used by whales to force their opinion, while smaller accounts are afraid to downvote due to retaliation. They should be used to downvote the whales upvoting each other's cat pictures ;-)
