1- STEEM has never been centralized. Even when 20 sock puppets entered the top 20, STEEM remained decentralized. Steem has a backup witness solution, meaning that even if those 20 sock puppets nodes suddently crashed, the network would have kept on running, and was therefore still decentralized.
What? You might as well say everything is nothing. You don't understand the meaning of the word centralized.
DELETE the coins of 300+ accounts who supported JS when forking to HIVE, about 30% of the total supply.
Nothing was deleted, a new network was created sans the balances used to necessitate the creation of that network. Nobody was owed anything on this new chain. If Steem fails because of the irresponsibility of these Steem stakeholders, they don't get a parachute to Hive. You bought it, don't break it. But that's just what those irresponsible stakeholders voted to do. It's not everyone else's responsibility to teach them (or you for that matter) what a decentralized blockchain is.
Nothing was deletedThe fact is that 300+ members arbitrarily were removed from your 'airdrop', and the old STEEM/SP/SBD on your chain is still there, but inaccessible. You can maybe fool others with words like that, not me.

What part of new network don't you get? It's created out of nothing. Nobody on Steem was or is owed anything.

How come HIVE still has 4 years worth of contents that were posted on STEEM, as well as all the accounts that were created on STEEM?
The first 41M blocks of your chain, are coming from the STEEM blockchain. Your blockchain exists because STEEM was there before. Without STEEM, Hive wouldn't be there.
So how can it be 'created out of nothing'?

English borrows words. One of the advantages of not having a centralized authority in control of language. It's part of the reason English is the new lingua franca, to borrow another romance phrase. :)

No problem. You are one of the only witnesses who has always been there who has been rather redistributor. But unfortunately, you have been there too long to understand that you have created a caste with undue annuities. It is the opposite of capitalism.
You know, we are French and the discourse of the common good and preferable censorship in this sense there, we understand it. But I doubt that the TOP 20 of witness steem are in this ideology.
You have decided unilaterally to freeze accounts. This is contrary to the central idea of blockchain. All this because the wind has turned for you ... Honestly apart from all the other points, on this point, you have lost all credibility.
I'm even talking about the fact that HIVE is a registered trademark ... amateur work.

Hive is not a registered trademark the same way that hair or pencil is not. It is just a common word in english. The trademark is for HIVE Blockchain Technologies LTD not Hive. Legally you cannot own a common word in any language. They have no case.
This reminds me of when McDonalds (the fast food restaurant) tried to sue someone in Scotland for using their familly name to refer to their estate. Suffice to say that didn't go well for McDonalds (the fast food chain).
EDIT: actually the case I was referring to was in the state of Illinois.

Don't use disputed names. I will give you a good name. "pupa"
This name is still centralized. Because I am loyal to the queen bee. A good name to write instead of "hive".
Oh, this is what I'm really worried about. I'm not making fun of you.

Hi there
I've been reading through many comments related to new hive chain and I've seen your comment too. Many users are being torn, however majority seem to be moving to new hive.
Are you fully moving there or will you stay on both chains? Just curious. I'm trying to figure out what to do myself.

I am moving to hive, I started my powerdown on steem a few hours ago. Although I will always have my steem account so I could use it in the future.

Big Thx for your reply. I think i will stick around on both chains for time being.
I also figured that you may find this post interesting and worth your time:

Honestly, I don't think any perspective is wrong on this. It really comes down to what you think the role of witnesses is.
From my perspective, the community voted witnesses forked in secret, but they did it on the communities behalf. They were elected officials who, arguably, were cheated out of their role. We can debate semantics, like whether a verbal contract of "The Steemit Inc. funds are only to be used to fund development, not vote" should have been taken as law or not, but this all comes down to ones philosophy.
Personally, I think the Hive team did what they honestly believe is in the best interest of the ecosystem. I believe dtube is also acting in what they believe is the best interest for the system. Justin Sun is the only actor here who I think has not acted in the interest of STEEM or the codebase/ecosystem STEEM represents.
You have my vote @dtube. Thank you for integrating HIVE into your platform so quickly, and thank you for choosing to be a witness and keep STEEM alive. Whether STEEM is decentralized or centralized depends on whether we can keep 4-5 genuine witnesses in the top 20. I would like for 16+ to be genuine, but 4-5 lets us know the chain itself will be kept alive without any funny business. From there, those 4-5 witnesses would get to choose which Steemit Inc. upgrades are worth keeping and keep them in line. If that can be achieved, there is hope for STEEM yet.
