It's over, I am powering down

in #hive15 days ago

Well, what can I say, it's been a nice experiment the last couple of years. First Steam and then HIVE. I really like all the things I have learned. Actifit has been great, it got me moving almost every day for years. And I might continue using it, it's great fun.
However, I actually do no longer believe in the HIVE blockchain. I have been downvoted by @buildawhale for over a month now, without having been given a reason. This social network is just not a friendly place. Whales can do whatever. I have been asking for the reasons for the downvotes on the Discord server, and I can't say it was a welcoming environment. And since the whales were over there, I figured this place is not managed as it should. At least not to my taste. Maybe some might be OK with all of this, but looking at the HIVE blockchain fewer and fewer users do. Anyway, I wish everyone the best, including the haters.

Yeah it's been a bit sad the way some people get treated. All the best ahead for you👍

Thanks man, you have been great.

It's so fabricated it doesn't even get hidden behind a prolonged war of words. I am sure he'll enjoy spending it and possibly reenergize at some point in the future.

I'll spare him the burden of having to carry around my couple of pennies. Chances are they'll just end up on the ground and I'll pick them back up. Is that an activity for Actifit? Maybe I'd still stand a chance at getting rich.

Heay, we all want to get rich ;) !!!

What was the reason given? Good luck on your like man

For some reason I was not allowed to upvote myself at all. Pretty crazy. There was a discussion about this years ago. They told me back then it was allowed if I didn't overdo it. Now without warning or reason given they think it's OK to vote me into the ground.

They won't remove from downvotes if you stop?

Some people in the Discord group suggested that might happen, but the guy who actually owns the bot only made 2 sarcastic remarks towards me, so I don't know. So for now I will continue using Actifit as I think its a great project. But I no longer believe in the HIVE blockchain, so I am removing my HIVE.

Hopefully we'll see you on the rebound!

We'll see. @themarkymark is still downvoting me with his bot even though I have stopped upvoting myself. It's just toxic whale behavior. If they would upvote themselves, people would complain seeing the large upvote values. But if they can use their voting power to kill all the upvotes of the minnows, that burns tokens and in theory increases the value their tokens in that way. Of course if they continue like this, no one will be left besides a few whales and HIVE will be worthless. Its already happening. The amount of active users is almost 10X smaller than last year.

Like in the real world, it always works out for the hierarchy somehow....
