Hey Chris, I'm a bit shocked you out of DBuzz as you seemed super committed to it. Having you go MIA was pretty surprising and as a user I'm a bit disappointed that dbuzz development has experienced a big halt. I was just discussing some bug features to the platform a few days ago on the DBuzz Dev channel at chat.d.buzz
Hope the platform can survive

We all hope DBuzz can survive. It has been my fave posting dApp and helped me and many others baby-step our way onto Web3.
I'm interested in seeing the project survive too, and I'm waiting on the sidelines to see what happens.
If I'm able to, I'm interested in making up for my prior departure.
Not sure if I will be able to but it is something I think about.
It's about to go bye-bye. Now's the time to step in if you have interest. If it's open sourced it would be good for it to continue in any way possible. Talk to @agorise. It would be a real shame for DBuzz to not exist. Especially as it is an easy onboarding for folks new to the concept of Web3 and blockchain-based social media.
Yes, I am not in contact with the DBuzz team as of now.
If @agorise is interested in spinning up a fork I can donate http://microblog.app if it's @kencode that leads it.
I'm not in a position to step in right now as I still need to clear out some confusion in the mind, working on The Path to Enlightenment right now.
That would be amazing. Even better to get domain so it can continue.
@epodcaster @jza,
Called @nathansenn and he thinks it's a good idea to have @kencode lead D.Buzz.
I'll be completely out of the equation as I surrendered my stake for the betterment of the project.
Let's see if this can get resolved, thank you everyone.
Alright then, but obviously funding is going to be needed. For the first few months we will need to get acquainted with the code and start squashing bugs and improving its efficiency and ux.
We'll also want to spin up the dbuzz api node again (not HAF yet, have not had a chance to audit that).
Also, if Agorise is assuming this project in perpetuity, the d.buzz domain name will need to be transferred over.
Also, if not too many people object, I would like to focus on the short-form, not the long form blogging. One thing that dbuzz is really good at is short form and I would like to stay focused on that instead of trying to compete with peakd and ecency, as they have mastered long form blogging. Dbuzz shines in the micro-blogging space.
A couple of the whales hate me though and my political and scientific views of the world, so someone else is going to have to be the marketer of my skills to them (of which they have been fully aware of since 2014). If they say yes, then let's type up the Proposal and get on it. Let me know, I can be reached any time on matrix (http://agorise.chat) or by email at: [email protected]
Wonderful news! Keeping DBuzz alive for the benefit of the Hive community is important. Thank you Chris for helping to navigate the transition. Even though you are no longer officially ties to the DBuzz team, you have put the good of Hive above all else. Thank you, sir!
I'm personally so paranoid as In quite defensive of my timeline. I would hate to lose the history of my posts, so when I hear 'fork', I take it the worst way
Yeah, already talked to @nathansenn, he's interested in @kencode leading d.buzz . . Ken would only do it if funded given that he's a software developer by trade.
I'm interested in that happening and it would be new Manangement, I no longer have any official affiliation with dbuzz

Guess you didn't read my last message but I left you a message on telegram.
Hi @jza,
I apologize for my abrupt departure.
It was actually due to health reasons related to over fatigue and over exerting the mind.
I have a heart for HIVE and I appreciate the opportunity I had to lead d.buzz.
If it makes sense and is best I may come back to build on Hive again, but I would need to first straighten everything in my mind first, and it would be at a much smaller scale, thankfully d.buzz is Open Source on an unrestricted license.
I did not think this would happen but now I need to dedicate most of my time to thinking clearing, cultivating wisdom and making better decisions.
I had thought d.buzz could also stand without me, and I wish it would have stood better than it has.
P.S. I remember you saying you'd consider software development again. Are there projects you are considering yet?
Not really, I'm retired, I don't have to do this, but that doesn't mean I'm not a user and promoter of Web3 tech and DBuzz has been a big part of it, even before I met you.
I didn't foresee this drama to happen and it's a bit sad that it has. I think projects should have an operation plan and redundancy as well as a sustainable business model, wherever is freemium, user vs corporate services or advertising.
But they need to have and hire the tools to make the company competitive and not just base the operation and continuity off grants and donations.
Just like v4v, liketu, splinterlands and all the other hive assets are important to me and want to see them succeed. I'm open to talk to devs, report some bugs, and do some UX discussions in my free time. But development is something that will take real time and can't do it for free, at least right now. I don't even have a laptop.
But I'm sure the Philippines has a lot of good developers at least good enough in javascript bugs and API management of data.
