From everything I read in the apology and comments I doubt if anything really has changed. I believe those who use both platforms will still be "punished". There are others who already have been doing the same thing (going after those using both platforms). They are mad because steemit screwed them so now they are striking out against user who did not do anything to them.
I will try and keep my curation account going, but my personal account is now powering down and sending some hive to the curation account. I will sell the rest. I believe that the curation account will still be attacked. Then "they" are hurting those that they ignore anyways, because if they hurt the curation account then I cannot be of service to those who to a helping hand.
I would like to think that Hive will become stronger, but there are too many that agreed with the original post, or are already doing what the first post proposed.
Do what you need to do. If people insist on punching down here on Hive, they will eventually be left with the wreck of what could have been good... the competition is too fierce.
Note that the sentences structured as people fell victim because they deserved it? I did not accept the apology, because the word brings absolutely no remorse to me, matter of fact it was a demand on my apology. I'd rest my case here, but with a huge negative impact.
I saw that, but I also have read that English is not the first language of the poster -- so, I give the benefit of the doubt. I also went back and pointed out that words are fine, but action needed to be taken -- a mitigation of the damage. That has been done, as I understand.
