Before I start, this is about keeping silent on things going around, mostly against me, not because I was fearing someone but just out of respect for someone.
It's about the pub and double-u
Double u as a friend
When I joined blurt, I don't know of many people here, so someone asked me to visit the pub and I was happy seeing all the people there.
By the time I worked on some features, everyone was happy. Then I got to become a witness, it was time when I got in touch with double-u regarding some features. Then he supported me by giving his witness votes plus the foundation and personally asked Jakob to vote for me.
I was happy at that time, and I still am happy.
I and double-u never had issues, as we respect each other until now.
So, before anything I say ahead, I wanted to tell you this so you all don't take it as a personal thing.
Double u as weakening the blurt
But recently many things happened here on blurtblog as well private groups of witnesses. I have been doing a lot of dev work that all people love except for some people or a group of people.
You all know my contributions on the platform. Even after those contributions, I had to face a lot of discrimination and some bad words against me.
I could have simply moved away from this platform like I never ever joined here. But as I know they need for devs here, I make a stand not to escape and instead face them bravely here. Because blurt belongs to everyone here even with a person having 1 blurt, and not just foundation or whales.
So back to the main point
Every time there is an update, there are people from a specific group speaking against the feature. And it's continuously happening from the same group but different faces.
I believe being a decentralized platform, we have many brains to think of and discuss. But things are different when it's about another side.
When the foundation says or does anything they ask for community discussion, but when double u do, just ping Jakob's inbox about the situation.
All of you may think double-u is not doing anything, but he is behind the scenes. Irrespective of his seniority and his experience, he is just complaining about everything to Jakob and not discussing it with the community.
Because of the big stake and whale status, he thinks he has control of the blurt.
I was hurt today with the comment from the pub by him.
Before he was insulting people for his use of the VTS tool. Now the comments on one post. What next we can expect?
As, i say again
Blurt.blog is a decentralized platform without any censorship, freedom of speech, freedom of views, and opinions.
But recently from @double-u and gang, I am seeing more discrimination.
I have expected him to be gentle and wise, but he is becoming rather bad and that is not a good thing he does, and because of these things I stand against him now. As a witness, it's my duty to guard the principles of blurt.
He is only creating pub posts each week and getting blurt, nothing more.
Lets move ahead to this
Voting ring of double-u and friends
If you think VTS is against the blurt and may damage it. I accept that but something is worse than VTS.
I mentioned somewhere before, a manual VTS or a ring circle.
Manual VTS
So, a manual VTS is when people do vote for each other manually irrespective of the content. And this is happening.
Vote ring
when whales are supporting each other only with big votes rather distributing it to people
So, let me show some proofs
and a list on git
So, whenever they speak against development, they just don't speak because development is bad, but because they know, as more tools will come, more of these practices will be discovered and vote shares are disbursed.
With these proofs, I now leave the decision with the community if it's bad or not.
As a personal opinion, I am not against double-u, but as a witness, I am against his attitude towards the people of blurt.
If you think I am wrong, please stop following me and you can also unvote for my witness
if you think double-u and gang are wrong, then you know what to do.
Also, I urge people here, not to agree with anyone only if they have a high stake including me. Views and opinions should be unbiased and don't just follow anyone just to get high votes, or vote witnesses to get high votes in return.
A message to @double-u
As a friend, you always supported me. We have nice talks every time, irrespective of some miscommunications. You asked me about features, I built it. You asked me for fixes, I did it. But if I still stand with you today as a witness, then I will be doing wrong to my position as a witness.
I hope still we will have the communication because the platform is about discussions and I hope you will be back to the double-u I met and admire not the current one.
About drones and weapons
There is a saying
An eye for an eye will make the world blind
So, a weapon for a weapon will cause mass destruction and only more lives will be lost.
So, I support the people of Ukraine with my stand to promote the truth irrespective of parties involved and be the witness of all wrongdoings, whether Russia or Ukraine do to the people.
Because in the wars of government, it is only the people who suffer.
---
I agree, however your graph is misleading as it only counts the number of votes and not the weight.
But true, for friends I have known for years and who have spent a lot of energy on Blurt, I vote partly regardless of the content. Especially when someone has helped me repeatedly. There is a big difference between manual and automated VTS. An automated VTS does not vote out of gratitude, he knows no feelings.
You are completely wrong about that. In fact, I would very much welcome the development of tools to analyse abuse. And I think I am also speaking in the spirit of the "double-u gang" when I say that. My outgoing vote counter is one of them.
Yes, in my opinion you are wrong on some points, especially about the intentions of double-u.
Please read the post again, there is a gist link with the weights, you can see 100% from the kingpin, yours luckily are 25%
Oh no, I also gave 100% votes, for example
Overall, 23.9% VP of my last 500 votes went to "double-u gang", is it wrong to support friends?
I have read more carefully:
That is a serious accusation. Can you or @tekraze, please give a concrete example of the developments you are referring to here.
So exhausting this topic.
Everybody should be able to do/ vote with his stack whatever he/she/ it wants.
To me it lookslike the full " divide and conquer " game which makes it harder to be together successful.
@tekraze can elaborate on this, one I can remember is the puke post about the Coal list which was only activated to help calm the situation where delegation feature removal was being asked for, also recall the one where we blocked delegation to VTS on the wallet and that also wasn't good enough, but @tekraze was in the middle of most of it and can elaborate.
Again I don't mind people supporting friends, but don't brandish others for doing the same, there is no difference between a manual and automatic VTS in terms of ethos of excluding the greater community. #IDUVTS is branding people and really not nice, so if you have a purist opinion on something please ensure you are living up to it.
Yeah we brand our self with this nobody else is branded . And everybody is free to use it or not.
And wasn't it your opinion Ricardo that everyone should do with his stake what he wants and vote if he wants ?
If we decide to vote people who support VTS less or not at all then that's our business, your own opinion!
And yes I vote my friends more just for the reason that I decided to stay in my own little bubble.
And maybe you don't realize what bubble means in social media, that means to have your own small or big community.
We never wanted to remove the delegations feature, we would have just accepted that as a "lesser evil" to get rid of VTS. You were the only one who called delegations (and I quote) "my fault".
Blocking the ability to delegate to VTS was a good move, but unfortunately too easily circumvented.
Then we had to start helping ourselves as we were left in the lurch by the developer side. The FREE #TAG IDUVTS in the profile and scripts filtering for it was our only way to see who also doesn't tolerate and use VTS to include those users in our Private Bubble.
We are not branding people to be something "evil" or to use, people are showing the flag to show that they do not tolerate everything that harms the whole community.
Because it is a huge difference if you vote in your personal bubble or if you give your whole vote power to a collective without knowing which garbage is voted with it.
We reward people who support our cause, but don't discriminate against those who don't.
But now that you sanction everyone with [ IDUVTS ] you are much better than us!
Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
Well, I am saying this again, I already closed this topic and I would not talk again on the development part.
As I do for the community and not a few people, I am not answerable here.
Thanks for saying I was wrong.
So with your vote counter, I am surprised, I am the only one interacting with more accounts.
It's not just about feelings, it's about economics, as always the same thing has been raised the VTS can harm economic value, and the voting ring also have economic value. Don't try to act smart and mix both two.
This issue has been long, the problem starts with one thing, and becomes a completely different thing when people add their own versions to that.
So, if one thing is wrong, then another thing is also wrong.
Oh yes, and I'm afraid that's exactly what we're experiencing now.
This is what I am experiencing from 3 months now
Hello dear honorable sir.
Something I have written about the personality of woman.
Click here to visit.please,
https://blurt.blog/blurtyield/@firdaus1998/what-is-the-women-s-role-in-nation-building
I do very strongly suggest that everybody chill and remember that the threat of nuclear annihilation is very stressful so you feel upset and that probably one of the worst things that you can do is turn against one another in one of the communities that we have to build each other up.
I just want to say that I understand completely both W's point of view and Megadrive's point of view, and that I don't consider our german's an octopus circle jerk love fest.
Hi Jakob, thanks for reaching out to me here. I haven't shared anything when things happened against me, because the community supported me.
This is also not about me or even about megadrive supporting drones, it's about what's happening here. I was just speaking for what I saw was insult happening to the community because of a view not favorable to the group, it's not about any one person.
It's not about manual VTS is bad, and auto VTS good, it's about when you talk against things, when you already doing things. That is bad.
I don't have any personal issues with anyone. Because at last, if I don't stay here, I will be still coding somewhere else. So, I simply don't care what they say about me or what they do.
Thanks for responding.
Thank you!
@tekraze unfortunately you have forgotten or concealed an important piece of information. The entire German-speaking community counts just about 20 people. 20 German speaking people write your post and the small community reads and votes for these posts. But these people also vote for other people who do not speak or write German. Here from a Wahlring or also manual VTS to write, is very far-fetched. If it is nevertheless very reprehensible to support the own German-speaking community, because it is the mother tongue.
"Then I am GUILTY, in the sense of the charge and speak your verdict."
I personally, have never attacked you in any way, shape or form, or denigrated your work. I am not a person who "talks down" to anyone. I'm not going to slime around and prove you right in order to scam your friendship. To then run to another to bad mouth them and scam his friendship too.
Honesty is very rare, I have found that people are not always honest with me. They tell only what they want to hear, but it is not always the truth.
For example, one person says "It's great that you want to buy weapons to kill others" and the same person says to another person "I am totally against buying weapons". In short, one person and 2 different statements. What is really true?
Even if you don't like my statement, it is my honest opinion about the article and also about the comments. I have never read so much hate at once.
Finally, respect and recognition cannot be bought and are not taken for granted. They have my respect for their relentless work and time they spend. You as a person I can not say it unfortunately, because I know them far too little and it would also be a lie. But what is not yet, can still become what.
the germans are great
Thank you!
If you want to see hate please read what double-u is doing to smaller users of our team https://blurt.blog/blurt/@megadrive/firing-my-first-salvo-of-sanctions-against-double-u-and-his-supporters
lets not be firing salvos
Those are my personal salvos, not the foundation.
yeah, regardless
have a look at my post and have a thinkypoo
Your post is great! Can't see anything there related to the above.
Salvo of emotional abuse already fired at one of our team by @double-u
First of all, I never said german here, it's only you who mentioned the number. This was never about targeting any community. But to stand against the people of the same interest doing something wrong. I was silent when things happened with me, but it escalated to the community, so I had to do this as a witness.
I personally don't discriminate against anyone, nor do I have issues with anyone. I only highlighted it because the group is supporting things working in their favor and talking against things not working in their favor.
We had a chance to talk on discord, not personal things but just programming. So I would not talk about that much, you already know me. And i will not justify that.
https://blurt.blog/deutsch/@elkezaksek/i-like-my-gang
The difference is the hypocrisy of calling others a gang and using derogatory terms like #IDUVTS to dehumanise and idiotify others while yourselves engaging in anti-social voting behaviours and treatment of others.
I didn't call anyone a gang.
We were referred to as " @double-u and gang" in @tekraze post.
IDUVTS just shows that I don't use voting services and personally read and upvote all posts.
It is neither a badge, nor a branding and I do not want to dehumanize or idiotize anyone.
I remain that such services are not good for Blurt.
Of course, it always depends on what your goals are.
I invest a lot of time in Blurt. Since it has been fun so far (and I don't mean financially) it has been okay for me.
I was always glad about the fact that in Blurt discussions took place, but no enmities arose.
That was probably also an illusion...
The gang is wider than that , i mean more people are upvoted fully in this gang .
Now i understand why Michelangelo stays behind his curtain and have now removed his witness , everything is clear when we see right ?
You are a great person and a great dev and even though my stake is small , i will work on growing it to support you always .
It is very true and sad that the whole vibes here in blurt is negative because of huge accounts voting only eachothers , when i said something about it i was casted out . Voting their own comments at 500 blurt , also very little efforts posts fully upvoted with a total of 2000 blurt by double-u and the gang .
Do they even care since Blurt coin havent cost them anything ? And they can now enjoy 100 times more money back ... i thought they were giving to the community like they say they do , or maybe like they think they do ? but truth is truth and it is sad and ugly .
Thank you for being here Tekraze and for your coolest attitude and moustache 😉
Yepp there is more to see than what currently people are seeing.
I will not comment anyone by name, but there has been a practice going on. I thought someone will speak up from the community itself, but they were instead begging for the votes.
The effort from them is only the complaints and no solutions.
This can be solved only if community speaks for and not by one person like me.
Lol i am flattered 😉 thanks
This clear list of witnesses should not have our support .
It is very easy to follow the gang trail and see who is in it and the dance they dance
One should have a dynamic witness list not static. But i don't recommend deciding merely based on links. But see other factors too.
The Jerkcircle is out of mine , i am not a hypocrite
Weirdly enough , some of those accounts were upvoting me in the beginning and then stopped when double-u casted me out . Michelangelo never answered one of my comments , i bet they chat in discord and have a little red list of names like the
Stupid kids in schools 😂
They can sit on their stake and eat it from their bum
Yesterday one of the witnesses used stupid words for a Blurt User. Today I look back on those words a second time. Thank you friend.
It is very important to have a wider vision of any situations 🎏
We grow stronger together
👍
As i said already don't expect votes from people.
But now you realised what's happening and what can happen.
You can still be friend with someone when having a disagreement with him.
Votes are nice but i dont post for votes , i am used to buy my coins always .
You like my posts thank you for your votes , you dont , fine for me .
I was pointing the vibes around a before and after situation or words but now i see
That since i was connected to @megadrive i got casted out by the Jerkmans , but i have no problem with that ... i am not for sale .
Disagreements is no problem , it can even be healthy .
Communication and fluidity is key !

LOL how you suck !
I have no problem upvoting my 20VP on my posts and i dont hide like an Hypocrite
Like you do , like all you guys do , The little Jerkcircle you are doing with your German Buddies , you are proving now how little close minded you are and how @megadrive has all the right to spit in your face , now i am even wondering what you are really doing in Africa ???!
With a mentality like this , it cannot be genuine love and connection with People who are not your race and color and certainely not German .
Not everyone is Blind and certainetly not me , anyway your pityful few photos posts upvoted by you jerkcircle just to swallow the whole Blurt pool for yourself is despicable.
Long Live Ukraine 🇺🇦 ( Probably the fact that the Jews are in Power there , bothers you )
https://blurt.blog/deutsch/@elkezaksek/where-are-the-good-vibes
You said " this job satisfies me more than going shopping " ? 🤣
In which world do you live in ?
Well great for you , i guess shoving your face in your little shit list has touched your ego
More than i thought ....let me do it again
Looking forwards, we need to keep working on expanding and improving that data website. Then we can see relationships more clearly and then we can look at how best to break the symmetric voting values while preserving some sense of fairness.
As we see repeatedly, it is the finances that break the social bonds - rarely the other way round.
And as you say, private vote-rings are the same as paid vote-rings - their footprints are very similar. This was true 5 years ago on Steem, just as now. ;-) The tactics needed to mitigate both are, however, very different as the economic constructs are now very different. But let's look forward to some much-needed disruption.
Can be better if we make this a public tool, so people can know. I will add it to my to-do list.
I mentioned "data website", so wasn't meant to be a hidden tool.
Whether new voting algorithms can be constructed is another issue - and as very few users calculate consequences, then the public data may at least give some indications. The deep problem remains that when everything can be calculated then it can also be manipulated - that lies at the heart of the naive steem-voting system.
Yes, the ideas are always in mind. To give people a better understanding, but yes if they know they can hack. But at least, something will be improved.

I also see why @ciderjunkie is so vocal against me and our team, he gets a lot of support from at least 3 members of your group and some delegations I believe.
Do you really think im not able to stand for my own reasons against something??
Is the delusion of persecution so advanced that one can no longer distinguish between truth and madness.
I have written my own beliefs in my answers, it is cheeky to assume things that are not true.
It's cheeky to see what kind of theater is being staged here to defame people and this is part of it!
The way users are being treated is clear and on chain, the branding of IDUVTS imposed as a derogatory mockery of others is clear. There is nothing unclear in this situation.
Only in your selfmade reality !
Also your answer to my reaction has nothing to do with what i said and you earlier !
That is hilarious and a short to being ironic.
What is this about leave my site? Everythkng is public. Muting someone is an option but that does not mean one cannot still comment and express themselves freely.
A danger? In what reality is expressing their opinion a danger? Only if you give them power then they become dangerous.
Imagine the hitlers of this world given their famous speaches in a different light ie: nobody listening to them or following their orders. They will just look an idiot yelling at an empty audience.
That comment is no different than when KKK told me directly to leave the country because my skin color and ethnic background is a danger to them. Delusional at its finest. It is the type of a far left wing thinking brain.
But its funny. He too can spit out whatever he wants. No one has to listen. And that is the beauty of it. Everyone makes a choice to obey or disobey. And it is always voluntary. Even when threatened, if fear doesnt rule you, you can still choose disobey.
If anyone is in no position to say no, then you are not in control of your own self.
Just because we agree to does not mean we didnt have the power to disagree either.
Anyways,
Circle jerks are bad for distribution but even more so when whales do it.
The graphs above are a bit confusing to me. What are the numbers? Why is freekeo on it? I know for a fact he is voting on many diferent users.
Could you gonin depht and explain the graph for us who are illetare tonsuch things lol
His wasn't the only name on that list that confused me. He does so much for Blurt in retention via curation, as do some of the others I find on that list.
I think it's easy to confuse mutual bonds of interest and caring as a circle. Of course I vote certain people more often. I appreciate what they bring for me to the site. And because of shared interests it's common sense that in many cases the appreciation is mutual in shared beliefs and interests.
None of which matters if we respect property rights and freedom of association.
Amun-Ra
Your 100% correct.
With each increase in BP our responsibility grows. BP is strength and we do not not need uncle ben on the death bed to tell us what that comes with.
Keep doing what you do Spiderman. AND
Thank you for your support!
Thanks for your views and support.
The graph is just a week's data and includes people regularly voting for each other.
About @freakeao he knows this too, but he has a decision to continue or not.
I will not name anyone on the list to be wrong or right, but just showcase that something is happening here.
Gotcha.
Thank you for some clarity. So are the numbers going back and forth some averagge of blurt or is that voting strength in the lines?
Also where do I go see a graph with mine? Lol
That's like from and to, and also reverse, kind of tricky.
The tool is not official yet
https://steem.uber.space/blurt/outgoing-votes/?Acc=yayogerardo&Anzahl=1000
Thanks. Seems I too have some favorites lol Mainly artists and truth seekers. Certainly with each increment of BP we gain the bigger the responsibility. Token distribution becomes more looked at the bigger we are here. IMO.
It's perfectly normal for people with the same interests to find and support each other.
https://blurt.blog/blurt/@megadrive/firing-my-first-salvo-of-sanctions-against-double-u-and-his-supporters
One thing I love most about blurt is the interaction I have with one and all. I have never had such experience with steemit or hive. Blurt is just amazing. Dear @tekraze, I know of the wonderful works you've been doing since I joined the platform. You should know that in life, not everyone will support your works. It doesn't matter if they do or not, but provided it is a solution to a problem for all, then it stands, irrespective of their love or hate against your work. I really support your work here, and I am glad to read from you that you...
Now, over to @double-u whom is one of the people look up to.
When I first saw the comment last night, I didn't really understand it until now. Blurt is a decentralised social platform, so I believe everyone have the right to say whatever they want. It's called the freedom of speech we all know that. I think @tanweeralam has every right to support which ever country he wants to, but what majority of the world wants is peace. The words by @double-u to him is not really encouraging as I believe blurt is decentralised. We all make mistakes and there's always room for correction. I am not against anyone, I am just a simple guy who wants peace to reign over here on blurt, between Russia and Ukraine, and the world at large. I still have that same respect for you @double-u and @tekraze.
Thanks, the issue is not about me. It happened long back and I was fine not to talk anything about that.
I just have to take a stand for people facing discrimination for having a view somewhere.
It was about the community, not me. If it was about me, i would simply disconnect and never turn back on blurt.
I was joining @double-u's pub for fun but now I realize that it was my mistake because I realized that he has very proud of his BP, may be he thinks that people come to his pub only for getting upvote but it is his misunderstanding , people join his pub only for fun not for getting his upvpte , so he told @tanweeralam with all his pride, leave my site, you are danger for me,
go to Ukraine to support them , yes we are still supporting Ukraine because supporting oppressed people is humanity and our duty too
I never understood a damn word of his damn Pub 🤣
Lol, Pub was at least for me a way to meet all people at once i know, which is difficult when not on single post.
I am new to blurt platform. Sometimes I used to join the pub of @double-u to have some fun there . But because my blurt power is very little so he told me that If you want to support them, then go to Ukraine. Supporting Ukraine and save the lives of the oppressed people was only my point of view. And there is nothing wrong with supporting people. And anyway, that was my personal opinion. Someone might agree or disagree. But I was very disappointed to see the reply of @double-u and it hurt me very much. But I didn't say anything, I always respect elders. And that's what my teachers taught me. That's why I did not say anything after that I thought I would leave this platform. But I am very thankful to @tekraze sir and @megadrive sir and also to the people who raised my point and encouraged me . And I'm glad to see that there is no shortage of good people on this peletfarm.
I am grateful to you all.
Well, there's a mistake! ;-)
elders!? had to laugh.
OK, I do understand, I live in a country with similar attitudes, but you are then free to express your own displeasure at his response. You are allowed to be truthful in return, rather than expressing it here.
I am very grateful to you. It was very nice from your words. That you gave with me.
We are all equal irrespective of blurt quantity. Here the quality and the views matter.
You are absolutely right. Your words brought comfort to my heart. I heartily thank you.
If we respect property rights and freedom of association none of this becomes a problem. VTS, self vote, assocation none of that is anyone elses business.
For what it's worth, when I've mentioned issues with you, none of it was part of speaking for anyone other than myself. Nor was it meant to imply I don't appreciate the many good things you've done. Just (in my eyes) valid complaints that I wanted to make you aware of.
It seems to me that much of this latest conflict would have been non existent if done the way it is now, from a personal position that perhaps invites others to willingly be a part of, much the way elkezaksek does with her aid program.
I also think it would garner more support if it focused on helping the normal citizens and not the militaries involved. I see one of our members trapped there as an inspirational tool that would somehow justify this military involvement. I would much rather see something that would more directly benefit her and others, such as help with necessities and if needed, to fund an escape into a bordering nation. We have one here in our midst (ajerkoff) at Blurt who is next door to this who has been taking in refugees. There is much we could do while leaving the tyrants who think they own the people to fight with their own devices.
For the record, there are many fine people on that list called farming. Who do much for the benefit of Blurt. I hate to see appreciation being reduced to a label of farming. There are many I upvote regularly and some of them upvote me regularly. Not a circle, not a farm. Just water rising to its own level.
Glad you are posting this here in the open. Hopeful we can at some point respect all property rights and freedoms of association/action.
This time, I think it will be a short comment with you.
It's easier for you all to do complaining posts when some other person is involved and not when you and your friends get on the list.
I have appreciated you in the past because you speak up for what hive is doing and censoring people.
But at the same time when the double-u pub censor and even insult people for keeping a view, you got silent.
We all know her doings, and we all support her. But the data here shows people involved. It does not mean all are wrong or all are true.
And at last, as I always say, I will be angry when you agree with me. So please continue with your views against me.
Thanks
I am rarely silent. I called out the bullying and hypocrisy over the VTS/IDUVTS 16 days ago, in this post here. It's the second part, after I air my concerns on lack of communication once again from the Foundation when problems arise. This time it allowed not only myself, but as you will see from the comments others to think either we were hacked, or the chain itself. However, I don't wish to revisit that. Either the Foundation will communicate better in the future or will continue leaving us in the dark when major issues come along.
https://blurt.blog/blurt/@practicalthought/blurt-talk-2-was-blurt-hacked-and-mob-mentality-on-how-others-use-their-stake
If you look at the second part of my post, it targets the bullying and hypocrisy of the whole IDUVTS club. I pull no punches, and invite you to read just how vocal and specific I was in not being silent and willing to be shunned by all in the IDUVTs club. I don't take to bullying well and would rather just forgo support than be someones puppet, sucking up for some tokens. My pride and conduct is worth more than some tokens.
I hope that you'll notice in my segment on the chain/site breakdown that I voiced both ignorance and concern that we were left in the dark. My tone was not attacking any real point other than lack of communication, using my ignorance as a partial foundation that really wasn't necessary.
Contrast that to my very sharp language in conjunction with the IDUVTs and I hope that not only will you see I have not remained quiet, my language there was most certainly attacking. Very strongly. I consider (perhaps wrongly) my tone in the first segment to be assertive, in the second segment aggressive.
I hope this has given you cause to revisit the idea that I remain quiet when it involves any cliques here. I hope perhaps as well that seeing the contrast in my two presentations on that one post can perhaps lend credibility to my declarations that despite my vocal ways that I not only hold nothing against you. But I believe the chain has achieved (until recently) a stability unimagined before yourself and Saboin came aboard. But doesn't mean I wont voice my concerns as I do at times, and unfortunately (for you) you are the most active blogging wise with us, which I appreciate. At times it seems (as I complain of) that the Foundation in many ways has moved onto other projects, and at times it seems like you are the main lifeline between us and them.
Thanks for notifying me of this, I take my words back on this. I saw this post of yours, but have not read it completely, as I need to have a free mind to read and understand your words.
The chain stability as I say is the same as before when I was not here. Only I can say with more devs coming, and moreover, projects and people coming, we are having more users here than we were before.
This means, more of a load on resources and sometimes, we may not be able to keep up the services because of that. It's not like we are doing some experiments, but some other people doing experiments with the official RPC's . So, we have connected with devs and teams and asked them to run their own RPC's . We are doing whatever we can to try to support blurt, but not all the time we can share not because we do not want, just because we don't have time.
So, we appreciate complaints about the working of the blog, but not like conspiracies. I hope you get what I say now.
I just post updates whatever I can as I am mostly working on front-end changes. @saboin also working on behind the scene things, that matters only to witness and node runners, so sometimes he don't share.
I am in full support of economic freedom, I have no issue with vote rings actually, nor with self voting, but when people oppress others with ideals and pretend to be without fault, that I have an issue with. Why brandish the label IDUVTS as a shame tool while doing Manual IDUVTS behind the scenes, hypocrisy to the max.
I agree, which I spoke out loudly on in the second half of this post 16 days ago. Rather than retype things, I'm going to link you to my comment as some of it (as with the post in question I link to on it) is perhaps something as Blurt co founder you should read as well.

I've been grateful that in views on property rights we are aligned. The other chains have displayed the dis-ease that comes when those rights are ignored. And when whales are allowed to control everything. I very much enjoyed seeing you stand up on that forced vote and not roll over. I fear the day when the Foundation moves on as mentioned and there is no one to stand up like that anymore.
Here in the U.S. the founders saw how this flaw worked, and installed what is called the electoral college. They were smart enough to understand that the masses would be in the port states and didn't want them to be able to lord over the fly over states due to population numbers. That wouldn't have been appealing for any fly over state to be a part of. Of course there have been growing calls to abolish it along with so many of the ways that were designed to be tools for freedom and property rights. But even back then the founders here understood whale dynamics.
Hello Paaji!
I have joined Blurt recently and have started my journey 4 years FROM STEEMIT to HIVE to BLURT. These platforms established one after one and fundamentally for the same reasons. I'm not here to judge anyone but people love BLURT as mood is light here. There is lot of hatred growing on other blockchains and fundamental USP of BLURT is that it is welcoming and most of the times neutral. I hope users stick to this welcoming nature and understand their responsibility and display maturity here on this blockchain. I'm really sorry if there is anything of that sort happened here to you but I absolutely loved the memes development that you have done and you stay motivated in same direction. You will be loved definitely 💪
And thanks, I will try my best to have users treated well. It's our community together.
every matrix simulation shows that your evidence is totally messed up
Hundreds of people left Hive, Leo and ProofofBrain over one Bully threatening people with downvotes. Even telling people that if they upvote someone they don’t like they will be downvoted, or will not get their vote. This reminds me of this new IDUVTS badge people must post on their profile. It is brutal Intimidation. These bullies cause lots of problems. We don’t like bullies.
Yes, any type of discrimination is the same process
It takes guts to write so much and your work everyone has seen how much you have done on your blurt.
If I talk about those who speak bad words
so listen paji 🤣
Haha thanks but read again. It was to speak for the bad that happened against the community not me, as I have lived with the same for a long. And now things like these do not matter to me. But as a witness, I am just putting community voice.
I really respect you @double-u sir but I didn't expect such kind of behavior from you. Every person has his own ideas and he can express them with a good manner. @tanweeralam has also rights to support any idea or any person. So he did so. But unexpectedly, you said him to leave your site(pub). I'm very upset. I used to join your pub every week but now no more.
Blurt for all, please do good and let others to do same!
Mankind has a principle and foudamentel right, that a man or woman differs with his own opinion at the stages of home, society , nation and also international. It never happens that one man's opinion is right for another man and it is also never that one man's opinion according to another man's.
In fact, if seen, this world is running on the axis of diversities. Here every person is free from another person in his own opinion. He can express his opinion on his own wish. It is his principal authority. Especially , let me express one thing that the basic purpose of our life should not be to kill other person without any reason. We need to stand by him with tolerance and empathy. We want only peace. Keeping humanity at rest, always standing against the atrocities on human beings is the real humanity. Because what is happening in Ukraine, wastage of lives, wastage of goods and wastage of another thing all these are not defining recognisation of humanity.
At present, there is a need for peace within Ukraine.
Lastly, in particular, I would like to say to honorable @double-u sir and respectable @tekraze sir and in generally to all blurTians, that you do not take personal sarcasm here by making this matter so big, because it is creating a difficult situation that will be very difficult to maintain normality .
It is an earnest request to all the people, that they should express their views with discipline and try to understand the other person's wish, your opinion can be different and your desire may be different from the other person. But it best needs to be presented in an untouched manner. Here every living being is free with its own thoughts and feelings.
Be peace! No sarcasm! No war!
If you think this is all just sarcasm, then i am sorry to stand for you all. Enjoy the fun
I'm sure your dev effort is a significant contribution to BLURT. I'm also sure there are many people who are grateful for your effort, including myself. Thank you!
Yepp Devs know each other well.
Thanks
It is a sad situation. You have done a lot of good work and yet there are people who are against you.
It seems like they have a personal grudge against you. I don't know why anyone would hate you.
Anyone who works for a community must get respect. I know the kind of negativity certain people are spreading here.
And I know the kind of circle voting these self appointed leaders of anti-vts do.
One of these guys self-votes 30% of the time and there are others who are much worse.
Looking at their circle voting and self-voting acts I gave up self-voting since January 2022.
If vts are bad then I think excessive self-voting and circle voting is also wrong.
Should I start a new hashtag called I Do not Self-vote? #idnsv?
In the end all I want to say is that @tekraze you must not get demotivated by these people. You have done a good job and Blurt is a better place now because you and other dev's have work hard on it.
Thanks for supporting me always
I will not agree as same eye for eye will make everyone blind, will mess up the real value blurt bring
Anyone who works for a community must get respect. I know the kind of negativity certain people are spreading here.
I respect their feelings for me. But they should be clear of what I do wrong, and open up instead of keeping to them.
There is nothing in the world that can not be fixed with a discussion.
The motivation from happy people are more than the unhappy people here, so i am happy to be here .
Also I do dev work because I love to do and not because someone ask me to do.
I am.free to continue or move away.
The fact that you decided to speak out the truth without being afraid made me happy, you put on courage and split out the truth. This is the type of people we need on blurt, war is a bad thing and I never support war, we all want peace
Let keep praying for Ukraine
Thanks for your view
The witness is a role model for us blurt users. When you first joined blurt, the conditions here were very safe and comfortable. But now I feel sad about the current situation here, a lot of fighting is going on. This will certainly have a negative impact in building this platform. I was still very impressed when I first got to know blurt. At the time I really didn't understand how blurt worked. I just learned from @djunmul, but it's not enough. But I was wondering through posts and comments with the aim of getting witnesses to answer. I am also very happy, the witness who greeted me the first time well, he is @tekraze. I think @tekraze is a nice person and likes to help blurt.blog users. Especially new users. I also think all the witnesses, like @eastmael, @megadrive, @doble-u, @tekraze, @saboin and others they are all good, just different opinions, but one goal to build. I hope, whatever the circumstances and the problem, can be resolved properly and with healthy discussions without causing conflict on this platform. Hope we are all well and stay friends.
Yes we try to stand with people for them , but sometimes we can also be wrong. Just make us right again by adjusting the witness votes.
It's a dual sided weapon for the people
Yes I agree with that. Everyone has different mistakes and solves them in different ways. Hopefully all problems can be resolved well, and we will all become a big community and be able to change the world in the future.
@tekraze You are an experienced developer and a decent person. Personally, I express my respect to you. You have done a lot of good for the Blurt platform, and this is the main thing. Thank you very much for your work. Good luck and prosperity to you. 🙏
Thanks
🙏

Thanks for supporting
whatever happens, you have contributed to this platform. thanks to your thought and hard work, this platform has been enjoyed by many people around the world. hopefully the difference of opinion between these witnesses will be a step that will make this @blurt.blog better. keep spirit 👍
Yes , he works with all his enthusiasm
yes, I strongly agree with you
Thank you for being brave enough to uncover the truth, here is my reply to the situation https://blurt.blog/blurt/@megadrive/firing-my-first-salvo-of-sanctions-against-double-u-and-his-supporters
Yes, I called the process stupid, but not the person. As you already know how and from you were influenced to share this.
Why do you see who influenced me. Why don't you see my activeness, my comments, and also my concern for Blurt. Even though it's small, but I've always wanted to be a part of Blurt for the better.
I am not affected, by anyone. I saw VTS activity, I have analyzed to the best of my ability.
You need to know, If I use VTS, I will not come to your post. Why else come here there is already a VTS.
Ohk good luck with your intentions.
