You'll Get No Further Endorsement Of Credibility From Me

I could probably farm a few rewards that your dwindling user base will never read, but it just feels like I'm helping to give you credibility. From here on, I refuse to participate or host any of my intellectual property on your dumpster fire of a blockchain.

That's All Folks

I don't want to tell you what to do, but if you're still posting your intellectual property there, even to milk rewards, you are helping to perpetuate the lie that STEEM is anything but a centralized disaster. I thought they might be able to turn it around into a more Asian-centric platform, that at least retain some semblance of decentralization. Given recent events, that is obviously a lost cause. I had intended to keeping some STEEM on the platform, but I have serious doubt about that at this point.

Okay okay, those of you about to get all up in my grill to tell me Hive isn't perfect. You are right. But it isn't that flaming train wreck we used to call home either. This has the possibility of getting better over time, STEEM on the other hand... Lost cause.

@splinterlands got a farewell post censored. That's where I drew the line.

So When Will You Draw The Line?

Sort:  

I was only thinking this today. I have been dumping a few posts, single pictures with some mumbo jumbo text added, you know the sort of stuff that some others get massive rewards on...Can't really see the point and figure I've done it for the last time. There's no need perpetuating the ass-fuck that is steem and if I never hear the platform mentioned again it will be too soon. I'll take my funds and exchange it as quickly as I can, for whatever I can and get hive. Powered up another 1800 here only today.

Huzzah!

You know...I was telling Taraz, Boomy and Asher the other day in a chat...I've waited three fucking years to shit post on that platform...And now I can I feel guilty. Oh well...The sooner it dies the better...I'm even willing to let the 12,000 tokens I have there in a PD go to see it die today. Lol. Now that's commitment right?

I hear ya. It took me a bit to finally let go too. I'm sure everyone has their own personal threshold, so I'm not going to judge.

Yep, I think there is so much shit posting there, certainly by english-speaking accounts now...Everyone is a bit over it. I figure I'll just focus on hive, which feels positive to me, and let the other go, which feels, and is, negative. People can do what they want there, no judgement from me either...It's all meaningless. It was good, turned to shit and now it's time to move on. I think you'll find the usual suspects people like you and I who post regularly and with some personality and effort, will drift away. The few crumbs to be collected can go to someone else. Doby can have them. Lol.

I think once the 4 weeks of PD's are done there won't be much left but a rotting carcass.

Test acknowledged. Welcome to hive!

Steem can burn now as far as I am concerned. Just give me 4 weeks to sell my funds. There's little in the way of good content there and all the developers are abandoning it. Who wants to risk their funds when Justin may seize them?

Yeah, spending any effort there feels like pissing into the wind. I'm just waiting as I suspect many are.

Well, I have already drawn the line not to post anything. Only upvoting some travel posts / known faces , till I am completely powered down.

Posting there to farm rewards may sound tempting, but looking at the crap bustin jun and his simps keep spitting on the internet has made me hate the platform as well. Even though I wasn't one of those whales that got screwed. If anything, I find the good thing that came from it that is the Hive platform is more impactful to me, and I hope other people feel the same way 👍

It's almost like steem is the shit airdrop :-)

I made that decision a while ago.
Have a look at Steem.pruner to put links to Hive on all your Steem posts or erase them from frontends.

I did that! It's the reason my blog is a literal dumpster fire of goodbyes! :)

Big beefy lad @huaren.news flags all my stuff on STEEM now so little point in me posting anything there anymore.

Amazing that we are seeing borders form between the two blockchains. That clown is a perfect example of the dichotomy of the two chains.

It was this STEEM attack that got me going. I was going to leave him alone. He needs to clear off HIVE.

I stopped posting about a week ago. I still vote, but I think I will stop this soon, or maybe just be an ass and downvote any post I see.

In anycase 4 more weeks and it will barely be worth voting.

Haha, tempting...

I just recently Pruned all my posts. Replaced all the post with a link to Hive. Smell ya later Steem!! Dumpster fires never smell too good

I don't know why some people are still on steemit.
Time to move all to hive.
Well people purpose differs

Some people have trouble letting go :(

I drew my line the day of the hardfork

That was probably the best time. It's much easier now that I have significantly less stake powered up.

huaren.news has done huge damage on steem as well with his more than 0.4 million SP.
I am being bound to unfollow your downvote trail Mr @joshman. He has
Downvoted most of my steem posts about 13$ there. Sorry. I am being effected all the time in that war.

Yes, that's for the best. Downvote trails aren't for everybody, and I don't really recommend them in general. Best of luck to you.

Thanks for your support. And well wishes to you. Do the good work for the community. Good deeds are always appreciated. Thanks again.

🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m putting effort writing.... omg....

Do your thing!

Need more pump to boost the energy.... so many negative rumours nowadays...

I had continued publishing there, but with this post, I finish editing! Thanks for the warning.

Good to hear. Thanks for reading!

PS

Flipping it for this shitpost: 80% rewards to @justinparke for dolphin acceleration.

Give thanks my man, too kind once again. I'm hoarding a little HIVE at the moment ready to power up if there is an HPUD on the 1st of next month.

You'll be a dolphin in no time!

@justin did you poer up on the 1 st of June ?

I think it was actually the 2nd. I spent the 1st trying to find any info about #hpud, but with no luck.

Well we have a power up room and the tag power up mahouts have shown our posts

Just discovered it on the @TheTerminal Discord, thanks @brittandjosie, you're a legend.
