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.
