TravelFeed made a diplomatic announcement and it was quiet and there were no issues until someone in the Hive slack started accusing TravelFeed of supporting JS when TravelFeed is independent. If you want to analyze the conversation, go back to where it started, and what was the motive behind that. From that trigger, a number of people (not everyone) attacked @jpphotography and he has to defend TravelFeed from the wrongful accusations. And from there, things blew out of proportion.
TravelFeed always meant well for our travel bloggers and that is why there were requests for support whether it is in Steem or Hive as users have this freedom to choose.
I am doing an onboarding presentation to travelers I am stranded with here in India. Despite the hurtful words thrown at TravelFeed and the team and the actions made, I will remain neutral and will mention the cross posting service to BOTH Steem and Hive. I just hope that from here on, our users will not be punished due to this misunderstanding.
