RE: We Need Your Help to Protect Steem
The secret forkers should have never frozen his stake based on tweets and hearsay. The witnesses seem to go by this us against them narrative, but I don't.
I don't want to see Steem destroyed because of some proxy voting wars.
I've come to terms with the fact that Justin has bought the Pre-mined Stake + Domine Name = Steem Blockchain.
There was no "coup" as you say, the witnesses abandoned steemit and didn't even try to make things work. Let us be honest and say there was no real threat to the chain, lies.
Ned was surrounded by disrespectful people who from what I hear were planning to shaft him with this Forking rubbish months ago. smh.
Don't be disingenuous. Steemit Inc and several exchanges colluded to create sock puppet witnesses and used them to seize control of the top witness slots. What is that if not a coup, and a blatant violation of promised neutrality from Steemit and the exchanges? That is exactly the kind of interference the temporary soft fork was intended to forestall, and it shouldn't have mattered anyway since it was only a code enforcement of prior promises made by Ned et al. and the Steemit TOS.
Sun is the one actively destroying STEEM with proxy voting. When the witnesses were ousted, they also accepted Sun's dishonorable behavior as the new status quo and determined the only way to secure the community voice was to fork into a new chain.
If you are trying to draw some kind of equivalence between denying an airdrop in a new chain and freezing accounts in the old chain, or presenting a proposal for public discourse and creating secret blacklists, you can only be a quisling.
