I’m about to write a ”I’m excited about the Hive launch” and post it a few hours before the actual launch but I have to scratch it upon learning about the “Hive blacklist” (Hive airdrop exclusion list).
In this list are Steemit Inc’s accounts and the ones that the Hive thinks is in favor of centralization or the hostile take-over of the Steem network.
Unfortunately, my account is in that list which for me is a mistake.
According to Hive, the reason that I’m in that list is the fact that I follow a proxy that for them is a supporter of “centralization” & the “hostile take-ove” of steem.
Just to clear my stand, I do not support “centralization” nor the “hostile take-over”
Another unfortunate thing for me is the way for me to remove my name in the Hive blacklist ~ ”The Forgiveness Vote”
To be honest, I’m not a fan of the name as it makes me feel like an ex-con trying to find my way into the Hive.
For me to acquire the “Forgiveness Vote”, I have to make a proposal in the HPS (Hive Proposal System) and appeal for the vote of the Hive stakeholders.
And that’s how the Hive “devs” think on how things should work… which I have to disagree with.
It looks like the devs are too busy putting-up those codes regardless of the outcome and nobody even bothers to review and reach-out to the ones who are clearly innocent.
So for the launch of Hive, while some of you are saying “fresh start”, for me it will be ”start all over again”.
I was shocked when I saw your name on the list... Of course, this is wrong. :( Let me know if you need any help.
Thanks for offering help.
This reply is my first here in Hive, luckily the SP dele were translated as HP dele. Without it my account can't do anything.
let me give you HP upvote while I still have the HP dele
Thanks again
