RE: Attention Newcomers~
Hi @theterminal thank you for your team's help and assistance to the newcomers of Steem blockhain particularly Steemit users. I'm glad that they are other projects dedicated to helping newcomers with their inquiries.
The thing that concerns me is that the founder of this project seems trying to paint Steem blockchain in a bad light and as Steem community members, I don't see this as a good thing for Steem blockchain reputation and best interest.
Your team has been mentioning on the Terminal discord server how Steem blockchain is not decentralized and all those comments about how incompetence and bad the works of Steem developers that will bring ruin to Steem blockchain are not the things we want the newcomers of Steem to read. This seems like an attempt to influence them to go to Hive as I see you all never mentioned any bad thing about Hive even if there is in my point of view. I apologized in advance that I have to put this screenshot of some of the conversations that you all have in there here out in public just to support/prove my point.
How is this "show allegiance to no particular blockchain"?
I'm aware of this situation but trying to brainwash or spreading your Hive propaganda to newcomers of Steem on your discord server by putting Steemit and Steem blockchain in bad light most of the time is not good for Steem community as a whole.
I am sorry for the comment in that first screenshot. Two or three of us had been trying to assist a Steem user with an issue that was complicated by the removal of a feature from the Steemit platform without warning. My comment should have expressed frustration over that one feature's removal, nothing more. My apologies, and I will try to be more vigilant about over-sweeping generalizations in the future. You are absolutely correct that such can be distressing to others.
What was said in the second screenshot is merely the truth. Because of the huge stake that Steemit,Inc. holds, the Steem blockchain is not completely decentralized. But, it's fine for it to be run in a partially-centralized manner if everyone is okay with that. Perhaps I could reword that paragraph with a more positive spin. I will certainly give it a try.
Thank you for bringing these concerns forward, so I can improve my personal communication and try to be more neutral in the future.
