Cool - I'm pretty wary after more than six years on these blockchains - but if you are happy with the set up at this point that is great. It's not usually in my nature to be on the fence but in this case I think things have been getting a bit overheated!

I HAVE SWITCHED
I fight for certain things that I really feel are core elements to fight for then not on others. Everyone has to choose their battles or you would be fighting all day lol. I actually don’t mind site rules, as long as they apply to everyone equally and no one is blacklisted from earning, I also don’t mind perosnal muting at the end of the day if someone mutes everyone they end up with no content. Like I said I truly see these chains as a chance for artists to make some more money to supplement their creative pursuits because I know how hard it is to get started and stick to your true authenticity when doing so much ‘free work’ to get started. I built a whole career in photography and know how useful these blogs would have been at that time. For me curating actually allows me to build the things I value about these chains and I know other people value other things. The only things that would stop me curating was being told I couldn’t curate the people I wished to. I don’t mind being told don’t upvote nudity, swearing etc as it’s someone else’s stake and they can have rules absolutely... although we don’t have rules, but I would only really decline this opportunity if I started being unable to upvote people I wished to or I was told to downvote ppl etc other than that even if I don’t think the site is perfect I’ll continue to do what I can to help individuals blogging and the site grow. as you can see I was willing to get into arguments, get my own posts downvoted and leave a site I was earning 80 -150 dollars plus a post on juSt to follow my values. My values might be different to others tho, if ppls are so so different I do think at some point they have to consider just leaving rly or building new front ends I think even megadrive supports new free ends rly that help keep everyone happy.
You were earning 80-150 dollars a post? - Holy cow it's been a long time since I've seen that! (Steemit 2016)
Art + conspiracy - check out this guy's site - awesome

On one of your other replies you mentioned Bastyon and not being into phones...
I hate phones and only use mine to send about three one line texts a week - I never use it for anything else, I keep it in a different room and don't answer any calls.
But Bastyon runs as both an app and a website. And the app works on PC's as well as tablets or phones
I use both - I use the app running 24/7 on a laptop to run a node which pays me about US$30 a day, and swap between website and app on both PC and tablet.
This post is one of the most thought provoking poss I've ever seen on Blurt:

I didn’t realise it had an app how do I download it?

I’ll chedk when home. I wanna do vipassana this year to cleanse myself totally of social media and my phone and reset.
Yeah towards my end on hive I was regularly getting 60/80 dollars sometimes 120 and I got 450 dollRs on a travel one that got obliterated down to 80 by whales. 40 /20 was like my lower end. I still walked away from it and got involved in arguments defending ppl getting downvoted. Never say I’m not someone behind my principles that money was useful too as I lost every single bit of work over covid
Yes - once I started posting about the covid hoax and the death jabs I had all my posts downvoted to zero from that point on - Hive is definitely deep state controlled in my opinion.
But I didn't make much from posting anyway - only about 2-10 dollars a post. I was never in any way cabal approved.
Where I did well was in buying 250k of hive at 9 cents and selling them for 90 cents - after that I was just mocking them really, until I lost interest.
I genuinely couldn’t be in there I acruallt sabotaged it purposely at the end to make sure I could never be tempted to go back on as it was so bad for me psychologically and energetically I just felt the energy was so icky but then kept getting tempted back cause it was such easy money. I just rly had to make it so I couldn’t go back on in the end.
LOL - I certainly didn't have the drawcard of making money - but to this day I'm tempted to go back and piss off my enemies - must admit I do from time to time...
Haha tbh I actually did make money off hive I moved it into other tokens almost right away much to the distaste of the cabal suck ups who think you should leave your money there till the day you die and aave lend did very well for me it went from something like 6 dollars to 600 at one point it’s back down now but still. I mean it’s hardly life changing but at least I got something for that time investment. Now all my hope is on doge and Luna 🤣🤣. I just visualise hive going to zero, so all the smug cabal followers keeping their money in there till the end of time finally learn their lesson that they are essentially just bag holders.
doge is an all out ponzi - they all are but that is an obvious one (I often say that about trannies) - get rich quick and get out!
Yeah it’s tempting to start up 150 accounts and just do micro downvotes on the downvotes cUse they don’t like it when it’s done to them but I think it’s best to just leave it to Karma and keep yourself clean.
15 accounts did my head in - its more like accounting than blogging
Yeah I acruallt think trading these tokens is smarter than putting all your shit out there for the world to see lol and spending time arguing over nothing rly.
Very true - but I don't see Blurt tokens as an investment at this point - they are more like monopoly money that makes using the platform more interesting - but they do stop spam brilliantly - that is one of the best features of Blurt I think, along with no down voting
Yeah the no down voting is rly crucial to me, It was kind of ok when it was only downvoting spam and plagerism but the problem is it can get out hand so easy . The only thing I’ve rly been bothered about on blurt was the wallet freezing etc. As long as everyone has a right to earn money then I think we just rly need to enjoy it for what it is I’m rly over arguing about it every day at this point, it creates separation and sides and stops us acheiving as steals time from real life endeavours, everything has some element of corruption and it sometimes best to just gwt what we can from platforms. I wish I had done what you did with hive for sure lol when you generate money then you have more power to change systems too.
with downvoting there is always someone with a bigger stake - i mistakenly thought with 250k of hive they would leave me alone - but no - they set an entire curation trail to downvote me
but it was mainly because of them that i bought and sold all those tokens so in trying to stop me making $5 a post they ended up making me 10's of thousands - life is funny like that
I didn’t read it all but I think something similar to her on that topic and it’s why I now use mute and see the lesson that I don’t need to finish off every conversation to the bitter end lol. It’s a field day for energy vampires and it’s perfectly acceptable to just not bother or want to reply to someone’s comment and just say have a nice day. It can be a real waste of energy. Like right now I’m in between leg squats at the gym that’s a decent use but if it eats into productive time which it has many times for me on conversations that are not mutually enjoyable then it’s rly not even being nice, it’s kind of being fake rly. Social can be amazing I’ve sold work / got jobs: shared my work/ met boyfriends and friends online but when it starts to use you it’s rly bad energy and that’s exactly what I mean when I say that I’m fine with muting. It’s not damaging freedom of speech to protect ones energy and life force and spend time in the ways you want. It’s also ok to ignore comments we shouldn’t feel we have to reply to absolutely ever comment I hVe no issues if someone just stops replying I respect that they have more interesting things to do
I feel right now ppl just want to fight or pick apart everything before it’s happened I heard a post was made about me curating in some kind of circle jerk before I had even been given the log in key 🤣🤣🤣 like wtf is wrong with ppl, I think ppl have gotten over heated and need to just chill off a bit because it’s at the point ppl jump to conclusions with even zero evidence these days and it’s close to getting where you just want to stop even using the platform rly.
