Cheetah Bot said Steemit Censors People for Their Opinions Now.
(Tow the Line)
Where to begin with how this makes me and many long term users feel? The community is incredibly divided due to the action of a select few at the top of the Steemit food chain. Those at the top on either side of the fight didn’t take us users who supported Steemit into consideration when their greed and lust for power took over the basic constitution of Steemit and the love of its community.
(I literally googled image searched "greed" this image seemed most fitting)
Justin Sun certainly pissed off many people in powerful positions but he never broke any of Steemit’s constitutional rules enforced by the code of the blockchain. Rules the original dev’s created so they could maintain power but ultimately lost control of based on their own rules. The original dev’s gamed their Own system until it backfired so they created a new game.
So, lame!
Looking at how Hive is functioning it’s basically the old Steemit that benefits the creators and their favourite users as usual.
(the queen bee decides everybody's place in their society, clever name for new Steemit)
Before the Hardfork I had read many articles that were negative towards Justin Sun but didn’t read any that were positive towards him but I know they are out there, I just didn’t stumble upon any. As we all know to stay in the graces of the higher-ups we often choose to stay silent or ignore those things. Only a select few with true courage like @freebornangel truly stood up and never got flagged into oblivion. Good on you sir!
And now @cheetah bot is spamming posts, even post about food, saying it “now” flags people’s opinion. @Cheetah truly lost its path. * (the creator of cheetah bot is still a witness for the original Steemit chain, but also on the list of banned users, umm wtf?). It was meant to flag plagiarism and copyright infringement. SO SAD, Steemit has really lost its way, which is GOOD and BAD.
(steemit is still chaining users to the top dogs, thanks @cheetah you are a real trooper, the type that kills civilians. Steem is doomed with this method, so is Hive. It's the users who suffer, not the leaders. If you have no users what are you leading? you ass?)
The old system wasn’t working no matter how hard the dev’s tried, they were just too into keeping the status quo, and when that status quo was lost, they ran away and started something else. So weak!
Embarrassing
(Steemit now and Hive have been caught with their fly down showing the fish they caught).
Anyways that’s my rant; if Cheetah wants to flag me for having an opinion I will let that speak for its self about Steemit’s new managers. And if Hive leaders don't learn to respect everyone on their chain and not just the ones in the circle jerk, it will fail too.
But if 10's of thousands, maybe 100's of thousands lose because of the decisions of 20 people, who is the real loser?
In no particular order, I am just calling names I know movers and shaker on Steemit.

@scaredycatguide @timcliff (Tim I was one of you first supporters and you don't even look at me now) @officialfuzzy Just to name a few of the current users from the time Steemit began.
(At Steemit's original dev's, you created this environment, and no you might be duplicating it with Hive.io Karma for All)
Ummm no, your narrative begins entirely off the mark and involves only things that you conjured up, none of which have any kind of semblance to what actually happened. You seem to think that consensus don't mean shit, slandering the top witness as "hackers" over the fact that they formed a consensus to temporarily not allow certain stake to vote and transact is ok, which some think is theft, or hacking, but is neither or even remotely similar and they as the top elected witnesses and embodied will of the community have the ultimate or final say over these things, and consensus is law. FagSunJoe keeps saying 'we' stopped the hackers. FagSumJoe, yeah, you sure did. 20 top witnesses agreed to "hack" you guys, because jelz I'm sure fagsun. Lolk

Justin Sun only did things the Steem blockchain allowed him to do. When he acted out against the powers, the powers created new blockchain. If what he did was not allowed it would not be possible based on the code of the blockchain. I really don't like him either but I also am not a fan of the others.
Such a horrible place this chain became. I don't expect much from Hive other than continuing what this place once was.

You don't get it. It doesn't matter that there wasn't anything done that wasn't allowed by the code, it's the fact that he threatened the network and that he later commandeered it and completely compromised it. Not allowing him to do that is saying that someone allowed him to use exchanges to power up people's steem to be used to vote his sock puppets as witnesses, or that "the code allowed it", as if such a thing could be coded out somehow..

Yeah, much to be desired from either of these chains.
The idea still lives, can't kill those.
Maybe hive delivers, maybe not.
I just want to be able to log in and post for my pittances.

You keep conflating Steem with Steemit. There is a big difference between the two.
Justin colluded with exchanges to vote in witnesses using other peoples steem tokens that they cannot withdraw anymore.
Justin does not have a good reputation in the cryptosphere so we dont trust where he is going with this. The ninja-mined stake was always a problem here so we found a solution that doesnt involve destroying someones steem.
Witnesses created a brand new blockchain. Justin Sun can keep his steem tokens and do what he wants with them. We never stole anything from him and if you want to stay here, be my guest. Many of us have invested thousands of dollars into this and don't want to see it ruined.
Anybody can create a hardfork if they want. The market decides if it's valuable. Many steem forks have happened over the years and none of them were successful because the market decides its not worth investing money. Now that we have dozens of developers and the best talent on Hive, it might become more successful or it might not.
I was initially against a hardfork because I don't want to see this community divided and risk my money getting destroyed. But after seeing Justin lie all the time, I knew this place wasn't gonna end well. Its easy for someone like you to talk about others being greedy when you don't have any skin in the game.
If you wanna stick around, thats up to you. How's China these days?

Whatever Justin Sun did, was only capable because the blockchain code allowed it. Don't get caught up in semantics "steem/steemit. you know what I mean. My point is the code was never broken to get him into power, he folled the rules, and understood it better than 99% of users.

I'm done with Steemit/ Steem w/e. Hive too. It was a good run while it lasted.
