Hive was never a threat to Steemit. Justin Sun was the threat, and continues to be a threat as demonstrated yet again here. Hive was the solution to the threat. An imperfect solution, but as the saying goes, "any port in a storm."

The demand for a complete community split is insane, but it is being pushed by Sun and Steemit, not Hive. The campaign of censorship and arbitrary terms of service have driven out those of us who had hoped to see some sort of truce come about. But every action taken since shows how power-mad the new Steemit team has become. Anyone who chooses to support Steemit Inc. with full knowledge of these actions is complicit.
