RE: The NEW NORMAL...Anyone out there? How are all in this Brave New World!
Good to see you checking in! We can dive into the communities stuff eventually... the much bigger news is the Steem/Hive schism!
As of Friday, March 20th, the blockchain was “forked” and there are now 2 different versions. This occurred due to a huge political and economic clash between some of the community and Justin Sun, the new owner of Steemit Inc.
Some folks are staying on Steem, some have moved to Hive, and some are utilizing both. I’m all Hive myself, just lurking here and couldn’t resist trying to lure you over! The short of it is Steem is fully controlled by Justin Sun, Hive more resembles “Steem classic” with most of the old witnesses, developers, & apps switched over.
You were granted a matching balance of the new Hive tokens, so if you plan on focusing on one platform or another you can sell one for the other at least.
Log in utilizes your existing Steem keys, so it’s easy to get up & running! Hope to see you on Hive!
Oh wow @bryan-imhoff how quickly the world (either digital or physical) changes, eh?
I followed the link you posted, does this mean I am now ON Hive? Can I simply write from that link, which seems to be the same interface as old Steemit? If so, thanks, that was easy.
I'm not one for 'sides' normally, at least not outwardly so, I'm more of a 'let's all get along' type, I know boring stuff, but I suppose I'll show up to both parties and see what feels most like 'home'.
What I always loved about Steemit was it felt like the 'old' blogging days of the internet, for a short while anyway. And I often likened it to a small digital village in the vast digital world of such digital cities as Facebook and their ilk.
If this Hive feels more 'home' then perhaps I shall move in and set up digs and simply use Steemit as my holiday home, popping in a few months a year and on odd weekends to 'putter in the garden' as it were.
Thanks for the help!
You’re very welcome! I do hope to see you there as I consider it my new “stomping grounds.” And yes, your account carried over to this offshoot so all you’d have to do is log in as normal. SteemPeak also has a Hive based interface.

For anyone still utilizing Steem I’d highly recommend at least using SteemPeak instead of Steemit. One of the onerous things that finalized my move to Hive was Justin Sun started blocking users and posts he didn’t like from appearing on Steemit, but you can still see them on SteemPeak.
