I joined this community in may 2017. Almost 3 years I was very active promoting and building my following. I was very famous and I invited so many people here. I also helped a lot to grow and motivated them to stay. Some of them are even doing much better than me. I'm happy for them. But not happy for myself.
I thought that in the future I will be a whale. I thought that I will make the change and improve the platform for the best. I did my best. I even tried to connect communities by gathering them in one show. I was building that link between them.
Then the takeover happened and I learned a lot about how everything is working. It can't be changed. But even though I continued to defend but I did't like things. I didn't like that only a few people can decide for the magority. I don't think that we can call that fair. I just understood that I can't change things for the best. I gave up.
Still, I'm writing this and afraid that someone will not like it. There are things I want to say, but afraid to be flagged. Afraid to lose the little support left. That's why I'm not active. I don't want to support the fear. I want to free myself but I can't. I don't want to see other afraid. I want to write what I really think.
Most of us here feel the same. I hope that will change someday. I hope it will take the direction of eliminating the fear. I hope people will free themselves.
