RE: The WOX Travel Contest will no longer be held
I don't think you should dive into your local community.... Again, of course, it's your decision alone.
I sometimes follow posts in the Ukrainian community - of course it is a bit more time-consuming, sometimes actually less relevant for me. But I am aware that you are all affected by what is happening in your country. And many other people on the Steem too, of course. But what can they say to alleviate your situation...? If we are honest: nothing. So that's probably why they keep quiet...
Are you in contact with @gor671? We miss him, he probably also lives in a disputed area... I hope he is doing reasonably well!
@o1eh - this war will end. Not thanks to you or me, not thanks to Europe or the US, not thanks to sudden Russian insights... But it will end. Then it will be important how you got through the hard time yourself: full of hate or full of hope ;-))
No, unfortunately he never joined our Telegram chat, so I don't have his contacts. I don't know why he stopped being active.
You are probably right. But under the current conditions, I cannot pretend that nothing is happening, smile and give prizes to participants from Russia. So I removed this inconvenience from my activity on Steemit. However, it was necessary to do it without explaining the reasons, because now many people think that I drink coffee from the skulls of Russians and eat their babies :)
In general, I think nothing will change in my activity on Steemit, only there will be no contests. But there will be more comments. This is how I plan to interact with authors as a moderator.
