Despite everything, here’s hoping you will submit an airdrop proposal when those are ready. Many in the community do not agree with the selective airdrop and many will find support when they launch their proposal. I hope you will be along those.

On a personal level, this whole show has been one of vindictive reactive move, a never-ending escalation. I am not yet convinced the escalation will end soon(ish). As a user, stakeholder so far I have mostly felt that my options were “can’t win” or “lose”.

While I guess I may soon get to it, I haven’t posted anything yet since the split became an obvious fact. Staying on the fence, being across both sides is being made more difficult every day because due to the centralized nature now I think some semantic arguments fall in the water and there is effective censorship happening here (If argued well, I also support that the airdrop was censorship but I haven’t seen anyone make the valid censorship argumentation yet).

I’m torn, have constant ambiguous feelings over all and generally feel pretty lost in everything.

It’s all been quite the “excremental show” and I am always wondering ever more if our human culture, one driven with money at heart of it, is mature enough to make platforms like this work. Anarchy culture, born on socialist principles, is often not understood and for many the name alone is a deterrent. As we all know education is slow, costly, and apparently easily forgotten or rejected too.

Stay strong, stay healthy, and keep doing what you do... I am not sure I will continue to observe the chain for a long time but whenever I do or have a quick look, I hope to see a budding and thriving community. And here’s hoping many of you guys still come over nevertheless, and that not just to request a power down. 🤘

PS: One thing I would want to highlight though - two in fact - is to lobby for further decentralization as right now STEEM and SBD may be securities. Additionally, if funds are frozen or moved to the DAO - or nulled - the currently centralized operation of STEEM would effectively put Steemit Inc at legal risk (or Tron Foundation SF, whoever is on the company papers in Delaware).
