This is a realistic summary. You have always been a voice for reason. You treat others kindly and respectfully. I really believe that if more acted like you without the childish and vulgar attacks and memes it could have been a separation and not a war. Both cause pain but the latter kills innocent victims.
I feel sorry for projects like Appics and some individuals who have been caught in the crossfire.
Things just keep escalating as many keep throwing fuel on the fire. Now I fear that JS will just continue to seek revenge. This is hurting many that are trying to power down and exit Steem. I hope that I can exit Steem safely. I invested 10’s of thousands of dollars there.
Thanks for what you have done @lukestokes your points 9 and 15 show your fairness and reasonableness. I actually hate the politics and infighting. I’m here to have fun, help others succeed and create a little side income.
Thank you. It’s a tough situation all around and I think it could have been handled better by Steemit and Justin Sun. I’ve tried to point out the things the Hive community could have done better, but at the same time, I’m not convinced I was right. The community supporting 0.22.8888 might need to be excluded from Hive if they’re intentions really are to attack, centralize, and censor accounts on chain. Maybe I was wrong. Either way, it’s been a tough situation and I hope all sides gain some humility and learn from these mistakes to further improve and secure DPoS.
