It takes courage to apologize and admit when you are wrong. Your a human like all of us. We all make mistakes and bleed... Those qualities tempered with a willingness to change goes a long way in my books. So does being human in your approach to the accounts transitioning from Steem to the Hive Blockchain.
Thank you for taking down the black list, stopping it's use, and doing your best to make this right @arcange.
Let's all continue to attract accounts to Hive with honey rather than salt.
The sooner we all heal and move forward the better.
It is on this note that I would like to bring up the badges on @hivebuzz. I am no fan of Justin Sun, Ned, or SteemIt but I think some consideration should be given to letting go of the past completely.
Making badges like this is, in my opinion, bad taste and could open you up to future litigation as it is far to personal in nature. We don't need or want to give these people/entities more power (going forward) than they deserve here on OUR Blockchain.
This is an opportunity! Let's make clean and clear cuts away from the Steem Blockchain. Let's take the high road when they want to take the low road.
AND let's infuse the Hive Blockchain with good energy all around. Let's find compelling, fun, and positive ways to incentivise people to toss aside all things Steem and move boldly forward on the Hive Blockchain... Together!
Hive is the future of DPOS and we need to act accordingly don't you think? We have the cookie right? 🍪 😆
What do you think?
I would love to hear your opinion.
You want fun? These badges were fun!
Go back read the comments on the announcement post.
hmmmm... fun and the future sometimes don't mix. I like having fun... But when you make it personal like this... It's not in good taste @arcange. It doesn't matter who these people are... They can (and are) low lifes... But we shouldn't let them define the culture of the Hive Blockchain.
I just think this idea of "fun" that you have lacks vision. We gotta take the high road don't you think? They may cut us deep... But we should never show that it even registers.
When your shooting for the stars you don't need to wrestle in the mud.
Let's find fun that's more uplifting... right?
Normally I wouldn't say anything... But I'm speaking freely because I see you as an integral part of what we are doing here on the Hive Blockchain.
And in actuality... This is a small community of people. We want more and more people to migrate away from all those other social media options... and the way to do that is by showing them why we are better... in every way.
The people who enjoyed the "fun" behind those badges aren't the sort that will tell you what you may need to hear. The people that didn't think these badges were "fun" just left without a word.
I'm continuing to keep this conversation with you open as I hope that you can see how important you (as a witness) and @HiveBuzz could be to setting the tone for the culture of Hive.
In every success there are also the seeds to that success's destruction. We must always keep this front of mind as we innovate the future.
