There are concerns that some apps and sites are insecure at this point because they lack any developers behind them which could lead to folks' keys being stolen and/or compromised.
Also some apps/sites have disabled their account creation and not participating in onboarding new users which could/would potentially help to turn the tide against the sock puppet witnesses.
Just an observation of mine.
It's actually based on someone trying to force the "anti-steemit" narrative down someone else's throat.
I fail to see how a potential security risk as well as sites declining to create new accounts is interpreted as an 'anti-steemit' narrative.
Most folks are just trying to use the Steem blockchain and onboard new users so recommending known functional and secure dApps makes perfect sense.
Yes but if I drop a link on Twitter with steemit.com/blahblahblah, I don't think it is healthy to come on my tweet to force it down on my throat. Being decentralised means that people have freedom to do whatever the hell they want with their account, right?
I was unaware of that occurring to you and no I do not think that doing that is right. Folks are free to use whatever they want. Personally I like informing folks of the options and letting them make an educated decision for themselves.
All the 'bashing' is counter-productive.
There are a few people who fail to realise that people are watching and all this bickering is giving those looking for ammunition the perfect opportunity to sell #Steem short.
I have attempted to keep a lid on all the pent up emotion that appears rife, especially on twitter, but it's like a pressure cooker ready to explode.

My sentiment exactly!
Yeah that seems like a better approach.
I agree
Not true. Every frontend uses Keychain for login.
You don't even need to give the steemit.com site your keys anymore.
Not every dApp supports Keychain. Some use SteemConnect. Some use directly inputted keys.
