It is an emotional day, and I think we are ok to give some of that.
The hours, which are days and weeks combined put into making this place fun, engaging, etc have been many for some.
Thank you for the reassuring words, multiple mergers and acquisitions have clearly had a good/wise influence on you :)

Your post is bang on. They sold out and shit on the users who had no choice. So much for decentralisation and community.
That's old world, Steem is supposed to be new world!
I don't take it personally and may have done the same myself if i'd taken half the shit he has.
I stuck a post out at the time of the 'fork out steemit stake' backing the fact that it was farcical. It was mostly silent (-10% out to utopian, dlive, dtube, etc).
I'd like to be way out but I suspect whatever has been bought will not be so inactive.
