I haven't been on there for so long... but yeah, it's not cool. I'm sure people are doing it because they already were collecting autovotes there and are, as you say, double dipping those same autovotes on Hive.
I got all my tokens off that old blockchain as soon as I could... and sure I've probably lost some money doing that, but it was the principle of the thing y'know. No regrets.
Same here. Immediate power-down and with each payout, immediately sold and bought Hive with it. Def could have held on and made more, but I couldn't in good conscience even hold it anymore. It was dead to me, and still is.
I powered down at the beginning too, but for a while I left my small delegation to dustbunny intact; eventually I stopped that too though (still have it in place on Hive) and sold it off. I left just the tiniest amount of tokens in there in case I need to do any functions for some reason, but otherwise, yeah.
I think some people who have language barriers reading all the news might be some of the double dippers? Or people who really struggle with settings; Actifit had it that the auto-setting at first was to post on both chains and you had to go in and change your settings if you only wanted to post on Hive. I wonder how many people just post their steps every day and that's about the extent of their chain use and they don't even realize because they're all kinds of tech-unsavvy or that's the only app they use so they're unaware of what happened.
I, personally, didn't see these people simply doing actifit auto-posts. They're legit double dipping/cross posting.
If there is a language barrier, or an unknown auto-setting for some people, that's a different matter. I'm not referring to those people.
I still have about 7 powered up over there as well, for the reason you mentioned.
It's the purposeful posting and legitimacy given behind that, that I won't tolerate or support.
Glad to hear you disbanded from there too :)
Oh for sure. With you there. I just try to think of all the angles because I'm sure some people are just unaware/un-tech-savvy/etc. But people who know what's up, should know better.
The people I follow, at least the ones I saw, would have to plead major ignorance to admitting they didn't know what happened. I've been here a long time, and so have most of these people. They know.
The un-tech-savvy people have an excuse, I guess. But again, this is not directed at them. Even though I wish they knew.
