I still had your account on my "followed" feed! Welcome back! There are people who cross-post to both chains, but I have almost entirely abandoned St**mit. Hive is where all the creativity seems to be.

Sweet! i definitely remember you. I don't think I'll be touching steemit. I guess maybe I'll listen to what a defender has to say, but I really don't know any. I guess I would have to get on the site to find out.
There was a lot of bad blood at first. People accused HIVE of stealing content because the new chain had their old posts. Some people were denied airdrops of new HIVE tokens because they supported Sun's puppets. But a year in, I'd say this is the better environment. St**mit is full of spammers, vote farmers, etc. like always, but it's a lot better here. The integration with TRON might have been neat had the situation been handled differently and Sun actually worked with the community witnesses, but we will never know now.
Actually no it was downright trying to force people to post on steam it and keep Community there with canacurate then anything else the entire community across blockchain moved over.
I should know I was part of the Town Halls...
Yeah, the centralization was bad, and the censorship it allowed was disgusting. Steempeak just shut down posting a few days ago, but there was never really a decentralized API node system like we have here to let them be a beacon of non-censorship. If we had that, it still might have allowed us to undermine Sun's control freak behavior.
His responses to every HIVE change, including rewriting the Steemit terms and conditions to forbid discussing it, was downright Orwellian. It's like he was taking cues from Chinese government attitudes toward free speech.
Well when you are in total control you can make all the rules...
That's exactly what he wanted to do and in fact his idea of hey why don't we just make a special exception just for him really went over well I would say..
Well honestly enough we had the best brightest people on the entire planet in our chat rooms. During the town hall meetings we actually had the top echelons of intelligence on the planet.
And it was pretty simple did we just negotiate and continue to capitulate to someone who is only going to continue taking but never give?
Or do we move out and go next door where everything we have is all still here and we just continue growing expanding and having a new world.....
All while he is cut out.
Honestly enough this is an amazing time to be alive and to be involved with the blockchain!!!
We are a microcosm of what real freedom allows. We aren't tied to geographic national traditions where lines on maps were drawn by people long dead, or bound to the coercion of oligarchs and conquerors. It is literal anarchy tied to freedom of association and true ownership of content. The result is miraculous progress, not stagnation and violence. If we can bring this mindset into meatspace, humanity has a real chance for liberty.
If we weren't fighting with each other we would be among the Stars currently.
Did you know I actually gave up my chance to speak so we could hear from Justin Scum and his idiot friend?
