Hey Allen,
Thank you for having stopped by to say hello, and thank you also for having read Susan Bryant's "Willy Wonky" poem, in part as my "ARCHIVED AT HIVE: Reply to Susan Jarvis Bryant at The Society of Classical Poets" is meant to be read in relation to that poem of hers.
Allen, I first read your articles at Voice, in the days before Block.one killed the goose that laid the golden egg due to its woke policies having for all intents and purposes canceled Daniel Larimer, which was then followed by Voice as a social media platform having been canceled.
It seems to me that one of the unique arguments for HIVE is that it can serve as a censorship-resistant archive for content, because although some centralized platforms have a good community, it should not surprise anybody if that entire community is canceled through no fault of its own, as the community at Parler was, and as the community at Voice was.
Regarding Susan Jarvis Bryant's "Willy Wonky" poem, yes, she is very talented, and the message of that poem is important, too. This link leads to her other poems at The Society of Classical Poets website.
As you did express here at HIVE an appreciation for her poem, I hope for you to consider also doing so there because Susan would probably appreciate that, as The Society of Classical Poets website is one of her online homes.
Also, as you are very knowledgeable about the cryptoverse, I hope for you to consider writing an article that rates the different "decentralized social media platforms" where poets and others who call any centralized platform their online home should consider archiving their poems, essays, and comments.
The online world has become very evil with its cancel culture proponents, its upside down "disinformation" propagandists, and its social credit system censors, and thus there needs to be many digital Noah's Arks such as HIVE and the other decentralized social media platforms.
From Lannie.
Lannie (@lanniebrockstein), thanks for the vote of confidence. You were on Voice? That's awesome! It's a small world.
Thanks for the encouragement to write articles on Web3 social media. I've actually written a book. Well, two books, to be truthful. The latest one, which just launched (about 10 days ago), is titled Web3 Social: How Creators Are Changing the World Wide Web (And You Can Too!). Unfortunately for Voice, they imploded about the time I was wrapping it up, so I took out everything I was planning to say about them. They barely get a mention.
At any rate, if you're looking for a good read that discusses several different Web3 social media projects and their benefits, I'd say that's the one you want.
Hey Allen,
Thank you for that reply. It was disappointing to myself and others who were disenfranchised with Steemit that the Voice social media platform turned out not to be a free speech platform.
You probably already know this, but if not...Larimer who values free speech has developed his “Mandel” fork for EOS, that if implemented, will remove Block.one as the controlling interest in the development of the EOS blockchain. If it isn’t implemented, I suppose that Larimer might use it to fork EOS into a completely new blockchain, and similar to how STEEM was forked into HIVE.
Thank you for having mentioned my "ARCHIVED AT HIVE: Reply to Susan Jarvis Bryant at The Society of Classical Poets" post on your "Web3 Wednesday: How Are D.Buzz & Leo Threads Different?" article.
Allen, it is admirable that you and your wife are living a decentralized lifestyle by being full-time and year-round on the road.
Have the two of you visited any of the many historic sites in the U.S. where there are the remains of the great cities of the ancient Native Americans, such as the “Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site” in Illinois?
As your profile page mentions Pennsylvania, which is near to where the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment was, I mention this not as licenced medical advice: I hope for you to consider researching the many articles and videos that teach “how to make food grade medicinal clay water”, if you are not yet familiar with that method of detoxification, because it can probably help to detox anybody who is being exposed to the toxic chemicals in the water and air that have polluted or are on their way to polluting much of the U.S., Canada, and Caribbean countries. Two weeks after those toxic chemicals were improperly incinerated by the evil and insane politicians, the snowfall here in Ottawa, Canada was an incredibly fine powder. Before two weeks ago, I had never witnessed snow like that.
From Lannie.
Thanks for the suggestions. We lived in Pennsylvania for 16 years before hitting the road. We're not full-time, though. More like 3/4- to 1/2-time. We spend our winters in Texas. We're now discussing making more but shorter trips, so we might be gone 1 month at a time but up to 3 or 4 times a year.
I have not been to Cahokia. That sounds amazing, however. We've spent most of our time in the southeastern U.S. and between Texas and Pennsylvania. We catalog our small town historic district tours on our YouTube channel.
On Larimer, he keeps bouncing around. I'm not sure I've got the faith in him that he seems to have in himself. It probably wouldn't hurt EOS to fork, and it would do it well to get it out from under Block.One's thumb.
