What’s your experience with the witness channel you have been 25 at times do you ever get let into decision making/ witness decision making / get to express an opinion?

There is a good tone there - lotsa respect and everybody is being heard... This is a learning by doing process I think... My impression is that everybody is doing their best in the interest of Blurt! I have a good feeling! 🤙🍀

If you have an opinion that’s the complete opposite of the others do you feel heard? Is it respected? Cause when I see screen shots it’s looks like that person is just told to leave but your in there and I trust you more than people I don’t know at all so can you confirm you could completely disagree with MD and others and be heard and respected and your opinion taken on board?

You know I am not a discord fan... I like it out here on the chain... But the few times I have been in there, it is as I described above. Topics being discussed and problems looking to be solved... 👍 I know you are unsettled, but shake it off and move on... Everything is going to be alright!

But have you witnessed someone completely disagree with MD on a big issue and then be heard and MD re considering his opinion? I’m sure it’s all lovely when everyone is in agreement but it’s the disagreements and how they are handled that are important.

The biggest issue for me was the freezing... I showed them all my post that I wanted to discloese and got several feedbacks incl. MD... He said go for it and told me to maybe leave the last part out...and he was right by that! 😜👍So for me, everything is ok...

I’ve noticed even you have changed you used to be a straight talker and now everything’s a bit cautious/ fumbled/ avoidant. Not sure if you realise that but I can see a real change.

You're right! Well observed luv! ;) I want Blurt to work for all of us! The more I get involved, the more diplomatic I have to become, to stay in the game... I don't have any other place to stay apart from Blurt... On Hive the narcissist Markinator nukes every comment of mine... Steemit is chinese...

But you can count on one thing! I want the best for Blurt and all of you guys!!!!

If I go in there, wanting to kick everyone's butts, how far do you think I will come????

I want this ecosystem to grow and thrive!!!! Don't underestimate what I am doing... ;)

But when you said I don’t agree with freezing accounts this is bang out of order did he listen to you and offer it for a vote etc ? How did that decision go? We all want a bit of transparency here cause there is way too much fumbling over stuff and lack of clear concise communication from anyone in charge.

Lol sometimes it’s not about shaking things off sometimes you have to advocate for change and ethics. The main thing right now is transparency and as a witness we voted in I asked a really simple question about how disagreements are handled in the discord chats and the answers even from you seem to be avoidant ? Why is this? Are you afraid of disagreeing or something? I really thought you were someone who could be honest etc and speak up your truth.

I’m not looking for a specific answer if you say yes I feel totally happy that I could completely disagree with MD and he would reconsider his stance and I’ve seen people completely disagree with him and get heard and seen him change his opinion on big things then that would also be a cool answer. Right now all I’ve seen is screenshots where when someone has disagreed they have been asked to leave. This might be out of character or there may be more to the story but your answers are quite avoidant lol it’s rhis lack of transparency which a number of us don’t like we just like the truth. This doesn’t look good as the point is that we have to believe if we vote in a witness to represent us they have the capacity to actually make changes.
