Really goodbye this time

in steem •  5 years ago 

Hi Steve - I live mainly on Mastodon (where I heard about this fracas via Dick Turpin) and I haven't visited Steem in ages.

I find this all rather sad you were (are) a great resource, posting regularly, with interesting content, constantly helping others and an advocate and evangelist for the Steem platform.

But now, it seems you're migrating to something called 'Hive'. Now I know nothing about Hive but after your recent negative experience, I'm a little surprised you're not using your own platform to host all your content and decouple all dependencies on third party providers.

Recent events have ably demonstrated, that a third party simply can not be trusted - with your data, your words, or your 'money'.

All the best - hope you continue to have a presence somewhere.

    Ah - researching Hive, things become a little clearer. It appears to be a community led Steem spinoff. By the community for the community so the fact that you are involved is fairly, err, obvious. Good luck with it.

    You may want to extract your $40 of Steem whilst it still has some value. I may be able to help with that. It now takes 4 weeks to power down the SP. @dickturpin started doing this, but the Ionomy exchange is not taking Steem any more.

      Hey. Good to hear from you.

      Hive is a fork of the Steem blockchain that excluded the Steemit stake as that was being a abused by a new owner. You can log in with the same keys you use on Steem https://peakd.com/

      Steem is not what it was. One guy, Justin Sun, basically controls it and most of the good people moved to Hive.

      I've run my own blogs before, but it's hard to get much engagement. Hive is much more social, even if some people are just after rewards. For what I make it has to be fun. I still think a blockchain based social platform has potential. The fork shows the community can survive a hostile takeover.

      Cheers.
