Hey @Steevc, I understand your concerns, but can I ask, have you considered what the old steem wits did with excluding certain Steem users from the Hive HF, was very similar to HF23?

It seems to me that this really boils down a referendum on Justin Sun, if you ask me.

Not the same. They put what was an explicitly temporary block on some accounts pending discussion. They reverted it later. Seizing funds is a hypocritical move when Justin said it was a wrong thing to do. The fact is that Justin controls Steem. He can decide who gets to be a witness. Any dissent will be punished and that can include taking your funds away. I'm a minor player, but Steemit still wipe out my rewards for criticising then. Freedom is dead on Steem unless you suck up to them. That's why I no longer want to be here.

I go where the true community is.

That voting process was incredibly rigged. There was only an option to deny funds overall. Not for each of the respective choices.

I.E. If I want direct votes not to get airdropped, but proxied votes to get an airdrop, I still have to vote for the no airdrops at all option. It was an eloquent way of getting the witness' desired result.

I go where the true community is.

Some might call it a cult. Whatever the case, my experience has been that Steem is a much more encouraging and welcoming environment right now.

Anything you don't like can be called a cult. Steem is now the cult of Justin :) He controls what happens and the community has no say. Enjoy all those paid/self-vote posts that suck up the reward pool.

Don't worry, I only have 4 more weeks to power down. Shame exchanges are reluctant to touch Steem.
