Here's a quick summary/comparison. I tried to exclude my personal judgement to deliver the fundamental "facts" by quoting a lot.
- Maybe I will share my understanding and opinion at a different post.
1. Soft ("temporary", "reversible") or Hard Fork?
22.2: Soft
22.5: Soft
HIVE: Hard
22.8888: Soft
2. Pre-announcement before the actual action was taken?
22.2: No
22.5: No
HIVE: Yes for the fork date, No for the airdrop exclusion and where the missing airdrops would belong to
22.8888: Yes
3. Main argument (from the performers) of the fork
22.2: "freeze" the "Ninja-mined" stakes that were "promised" to be used in a certain way
22.5: "unfreeze" the legally purchased asset
HIVE: make a decentralized version of STEEM
22.8888: "freeze" accounts that were actively contributed to the potential stoppage of the STEEM blockchain
4. Decision criteria regarding stakes
22.2: based on "promise"(with no legal evidence made public so far) by a previous owner
22.5: take one's asset back
HIVE: "Accounts excluded who voted a minimum of two sockpuppets or proxied someone who voted a minimum of two and who didn't unvote before the hive announcement with more than 1k sp" (and more)
22.8888: "Accounts that proxied or directly voted to more than 10 witnesses running the version 0.23 on the Steem Blockchain during the Hardfork with an influence higher than two million Steempower." (and more)
5. Results (so far)
22.2: Steem Inc. accounts were "frozen"
22.5: Steem Inc. accounts were "unfrozen" and Steem Inc. installed its own witnesses
HIVE: creation of a "code-copy" chain that are identical to the STEEM blockchain, except that confiscating 326 individual accounts' "asset" and Steem Inc. related accounts' "asset" to the steem.dao account (allegedly, there could be a system where these accounts may get these "assets" back, but so far no date/plan/detail announced)
22.8888: temporal restriction of 8 accounts (but thanks to the pre-announcement, most accounts (except about 3) have taken actions before the actual fork so restriction is basically limited to 2-3 accounts)
Hope this helps.
HIVE is an entirely new asset. Although to be excluded from the new asset and airdrop is awful, it cannot be compared to the actions of 22.2 or 22.888.
Also, I think 22.5 was a reaction to 22.2, but it's difficult to say Hive was a reaction to 22.5, since it appears to have been planned from before even 22.2 was implemented.
I'm sure 22.888 was a reaction to Hive, and quite sure it is entirely revenge and retribution. I am absolutely certain it was punishment because Steem is not in danger right now. I do not think anyone has the right to implement this kind of punishment.
It is obvious Steemit was involved because of their voting choices which changed as a result of 22.888 which are permanently recorded on the blockchain.
I don't see the point in continuing the battle. It will definitely harm the reputation of Steem. And for what? It seems some people want their Hive airdrop and they were promised to have a chance to get it, but they are willing to damage Steem to try and get it.
I'm still unsure of the purpose since it is not like Hive can be influenced. Sure the people affected by 22.8888 can make proposals on Steem to have their accounts unfrozen, however, this is a bizarre demand. It's difficult to understand what the goal is here.
Personally, I stopped voting for all witnesses on Steem at this point because I cannot support anyone. I would consider voting for people running 22.1 and maybe after another hardfork, but it's so difficult to trust the Steem blockchain at this point.

Agree with this. "Core" Hive people wanted to maintain their position from the very start by removing a new investor.
I don't want battle too... if they have done airdrop fairly I would even participated in hive as well.
But do you really believe that they are going to do the additional airdrop, except for a select few? If they were willing to do it, they could have opened SPS proposal. It's been already more than 3 weeks and it has not even started. To me, it was clear sign that they wanted to earn time so that they can milk/extract steem more.
It is bizarre - and the same goes for the hive airdrop SPS process. I think that part was to mirror what hive guys suggested.

I've argued all along that the airdrop should have been withheld only from the Steemit accounts.
I wish that exclude list was made public earlier when the fork was announced and people could have been removed from the list by agreeing to a simple statement like:
"I support the right to have a fork without Steemit accounts. Steem and Hive will be separate. I will participate according to Hive founding principles."
I was also hoping it wouldn't take so long, but I guess they have other priorities. In the meantime, I think people who want it should just behave regularly and kindly on Hive. Even though there is a low chance they will get anything in my opinion. Personally I will support it for everyone who agrees to behave on Hive.
I agree both are bizarre. It was a centralized decision on Hive. Two wrongs don't make a right, but then again, what goes around comes around.
Although I've personally changed my posting style on Steem a little, my rewards have dropped accordingly. I do think milking Steem presents a problem, especially for people who left under very nasty terms--those who did more than just pick a side and continue to cause problems. I think this should have been avoided from the start.

more than 3 weeks
The Hive Hardfork took place on 20 March. I understand in blockchain time goes fast. But this is literally only 2 weeks 1 day and 23 hours ago.
I am happy to read the comments with sanity and coming from people with clear mind and objectivity here. It feels like you pushed away even more people from Steem then already moved out with Hive.
It is so weird to combine Hive with Steem in this comparison. Steem exists. Hive exists. Steem people get attacked because they are part of a fork.

Yes. There will be an appeal process and everyone that was excluded can get theior tokens IF THE COMMUNITY DECIDES SO.
I personally will vote against any of you getting anything as is my choice on a decentralized blockchain.
Ill also make sure to attack anyone on twitter and on HIVE that votes to give any of you anything.
Because my voice matters, all out voices matter on HIVE while only 1 voice matters on STEEM.

Don't confuse things, the exclusion list was created to prevent people who supported the centralization of a blockchain from trying to make a similar move in another. No one was blocked from Hive, simply their balance was transferred to steem.dao, but they can participate in Hive if that's what they want. And, currently a first list is being created to give the funds to people who were unfairly excluded from the airdrop.
It's funny that you share screenshots about the HIVE price after the obvious intentional dumping that was done

Im not the one confusing things here, its you guys. Fix the list ? Hive is centralized thats why we have an exclusion list to begin with so stop talking about decentralization when everything happened in secret decided by a few.
And intentional dump ? Are we doing conspiracy theories now too?? 😂😂😂 People dumping their free airdrop to buy more steem is intentional Yes but not the way you are implying it.

its funny that you guys scream decentralized at every chance you get but your actions says otherwise. Hypocrisy.
Well done Steemit Inc. now freeze more assets and burn them if you wanna be fair, they have already recieved the equivalent amount in Hive through the airdrop so they havent lost money they just didnt double them overnight.
They are just mad Hive is going to zero. Its not our fault thought, you choose to migrate so deal with the consequences.

If its a new asset, then why did they take the same usernames and all the contents that many users did not explocitly allow them to take on their chain? They claim its a fork from steem blockchain. I dont think they can get away with a "new asset".

Hello, a forked blockchain is considered a new asset in accordance with the taxation rules of the IRS:
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_(blockchain)
Therefore, it is perfectly acceptable to consider HIVE a new asset since it is considered a new asset for the purposes of taxation by the largest and most dominant tax authority in the world. I'm assuming most other countries that have a tax policy on cryptocurrencies have a similar policy.
I understand people didn't give permission. However, if one logs into Hive to do anything (the keys were not changed), this would be considered as acceptance of the airdrop.
Whether or not blockchains can be copied is irrelevant since it is public and open source and by its nature, it is constantly copied. In anycase, you remain entirely in control.
Do you have any substantial counter-argument?
Or are you just saying it's unfair because not everyone got the airdrop? I'm unaware of any legal sources saying this is not allowed or if it affects anything.

Fork (blockchain)
In blockchain, a fork is defined variously as:
"what happens when a blockchain diverges into two potential paths forward"
"a change in protocol" or
a situation that "occurs when two or more blocks have the same block height"Forks are related to the fact that different parties need to use common rules to maintain the history of the blockchain. When parties are not in agreement, alternative chains may emerge. While most forks are short-lived some are permanent. Short-lived forks are due to the difficulty of reaching fast consensus in a distributed system.

I do not see how these accounts can "actively contribute to the potential stoppage of the STEEM blockchain":
a) They do not have enough SP to overule the current witness positions.
b) They are powering down and therefore their influence on steem will diminish over time.
This softfork will only make steem look like a non-friendly place for investors. It is an obvious attempt to try to stop these accounts from selling their steem on the market which only tarnishes even more the reputation of steemit and those that are supporting it.
What happened to the promise of not freezing the funds of account holders?
