RE: Will you change your voting habits after HF21?

in #steem5 years ago

I do not chase tokens, and am unconcerned with financial rewards. HF21 will not change this behaviour. I post what I believe, and upvote folks that seem to me to have support coming, for various reasons. I came here to participate on a social media platform that is was (see @fulltimegeek) remarkably resistant to censorship, and potentiates completely voluntary government to be effected. Steem has incredible potential to change the corrupt government and financial institutions we have inherited, so that we can leave just government and financial institutions to our posterity. I wish it was living up to that potential.

It's not, and HF21 is going to make that worse. I'll leave when it's time to turn off the lights, but I'll miss the honesty and integrity of folks I've interacted with here, including you. I do wish I was wrong about HF21, but I don't think I am. @steemit is powering down millions of Steem. I reckon they don't think I'm wrong either.

Seems to me @fiveart has it right.

Thanks!

Can you please explain to me how steemit can be a social media platform if people are limited to engage to others by their SP or whatever they call it? After HF20 I could only post once every 20 hours or leave 3 comments.
That is not what I call socializing. It took me weeks to find out how come and it is not something I can explain to people.

It does not make Steemit attractive.

IRL we are limited by our financial position, and this does regulate our ability to interact in society, so IMHO that's not the actual source of the problem. Steem magnifies this limitation insuperably, as IRL we are far less limited by our financial circumstances than we are on Steem. Sometimes quantitative changes create qualitative changes, and this is exemplified presently by RCs on Steem.

I do not know what IRL and IMHO stand for/mean.

Sometimes quantitative changes create qualitative changes,

To be honest I can not say that happened but might be I have an other picture in mind of what "quality" is.

Thank you for taking the time to explain this.

IRL - In Real Life, and IMHO - In My Humble (or Honest) Opinion.

Thank you for teaching me something 😀💕

"but I'll miss the honesty and integrity of folks I've interacted with here, including you"
aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee getting soft in these dark hours

but on a serious note, I hear ya and I wish I was wrong too, it's really not looking good. it be nice to imagine the witnesses rejecting it.

IIRC @liberosist has stated he will. He's unfortunately not 17 consensus witnesses. I've done all I can to dissuade EIP, but I'm not 17 consensus witnesses either.
