RE: Torundel the Shitposter!
I also decided to stay and i would not exactly call it a post apocalyptic stituation but more like an empty space to build and create sth new. I stopped my activities at hive, even though there users there who i like, because i cannot stand seeing all these people who defended our platform against abuse becoming abusers themselves. Without community rules we are free to do as we please and our real character comes out. So sad to see this behaviour...
Yes, I just saw (that you also stayed).
Personally I gave up on the steem system long time ago (which of course includes Hive). There's something wrong with the approach. Nothing good comes from letting the most wealthy decide everything. But in a way it had many good things and I am just trying to keep in contact with people I meet here, which is much harder when the place is divided.
As for the moral of people... I don't know. Justin Sun taking over is really a very bad turn I think, and now we have seen that having a personal code does not prevent the system from freezing or stealing our assets. They all demonstrated that. Not much is left on the system side of things.
Yes i understand what you mean. I did not gave up steem and even though i stopped posting i did my best daily to take part at all curation groups to improve the so called Proof of Brain system. I like the process and i enjoyed it even in my worst of times. There is a system and there are also the people. If people cultivate an ecosystem that rewards users and not posts the system is a failure. if we stick to a system that rewards valuable posts we might succeed.
I have a lot to say about the series of events known as the Justine Sun hostile take over but i would rather keep it for myself.
The human part - the community that is rewarding quality is of course great. I have seen that in the most corrupt and politically defunct places.
But when any old tosser can buy himself a position of power that is above these efforts it is a flaw... and it can't be repaired by good efforts... at least if the goal really was proof of work. Justin Sun is just a late example of this. It existed all along.
I have already read both pros and cons on the Justin Sun case and it seems that what it all sums up to is that the system can be compromised bigtime, but I would like to hear your version. Why hold it to yourself if you have a lot to say? Hopefully not because of the Steem/Hive flaws that I am mentioning above.
