I just found out that I am a member of a gang!
I myself have not yet seen so.
A little over a year ago, the gang members made a plan in their clubhouse, @double-u's pub.
They were raising money for our Uganda project and @michelangelo3 ,the guy who takes care of the tools and health of the gang members, informed me about it.
At that time I was only on Steemit and Hive and didn't want to know about Blurt.
Since I wanted to say thank you, I went to the pub on Sunday night.
I liked it there, nice people, great atmosphere and a lot of fun.
There was one (@dotwin1981), who lives under a stone and who has now unfortunately crawled away for an indefinite time and there was one (@reiseamateur) who supplied the gang with lottery tickets.
I stayed. I traded most of my Steem and Hive into Blurt.
At the time I did that a lot of people left Blurt because they didn't believe in the blockchain. Blurt wasn't even worth a dime.
But my gang, they didn't care. We met every Sunday and had fun. We believed in Blurt and we invested.
A lot of people thought we were crazy.
At that time it was not even possible to upload photos directly.
A lot of things didn't work.
"The rats left the sinking ship"
But my gang, they stayed and continued to have their parties.
It was a nice time and we became friends.
It was crazy, but I really felt that way a lot,
that I had spent the evening in a pub with friends.
Yes, we are on a blockchain here, we are digital.
But it's really no different than analog life either.
You meet people, make friends, exchange ideas, spend time together, sometimes argue, party together, give each other advice and let the others share in your own life.
Most of my Blurt gang are German.
Of course, it's always easier to talk in your mother tongue. But there are also some people from other countries, e.g. Venezuela. Through lively exchange and interesting posts, they were also accepted into the gang.
Now it is so that stupidly our pub owner is a giant whale and I am a small one. Honestly, I have no idea what the financial situation of the other gang members is, because I am not interested in their wallets.
In fact, I have so much to do that I don't even manage to make a post every day.
But I vote if possible every day posts and also comment sometimes. Every post that I upvote, I also look at.
It's time consuming.
The last 1000 votes went to 129 different authors.
It's perfectly normal to have a smaller circle of people,
with whom you have closer contact.
Me and my gang are now being accused of this.

At the same time you can probably see that with almost every account.
Try it out, @michelangelo3 already designed a tool last year.
There you can now see in which gang you are.....

(There are also said to be people who have multiple accounts and use them to vote for themselves....)
Wie ich gerade erfahren habe, bin ich Mitglied einer Gang!
Das habe ich selbst noch garnicht so gesehen.
Vor etwas über einem Jahr haben die Gangmitglieder in ihrem Vereinshaus, dem Pub von @double-u einen Plan geschmiedet.
Sie sammelten Geld für unser Uganda-Projekt und @michelangelo3 ,der Typ, der für die Tools und die Gesundheit der Gangmitglieder sorgt, informierte mich darüber.
Damals war ich nur auf Steemit und Hive und wollte von Blurt nichts wissen.
Da ich mich bedanken wollte, ging ich dann doch Sonntags Abend in den Pub.
Mir hat es dort gefallen, nette Menschen, tolle Stimmung und eine Menge Spaß.
Da gab es einen ( @dotwin1981) , der unter einem Stein wohnt und der sich jetzt leider für unbestimmte Zeit verkrochen hat und es gab einen ( @reiseamateur) der die Gang mit Lottoscheinen versorgte.
Ich blieb. Ich tauschte den größten Teil meiner Steem und Hive in Blurt.
Zu der Zeit als ich das tat verließen viele Leute Blurt, weil sie nicht an die Blockchain glaubten. Blurt war nicht einmal einen Cent wert.
Aber meine Gang, der war das egal. Wir trafen uns jeden Sonntag und hatten Spaß. Wir glaubten an Blurt und investierten.
Viele hielten uns für verrückt.
Zu dieser Zeit war es nicht einmal möglich Fotos direkt hochzuladen.
Eine Menge Dinge funktionierten nicht.
"Die Ratten verließen das sinkende Schiff"
Aber meine Gang, die blieb und feierte weiter ihre Parties.
Es war eine schöne Zeit und wir sind Freunde geworden.
Es war verrückt, aber ich hatte wirklich oft das Gefühl,
daß ich den Abend in einer Kneipe mit Freunden verbracht hätte.
Ja, wir sind hier auf einer Blockchain, wir sind digital.
Aber es ist eigentlich auch nicht anders, als im analogen Leben.
Man lernt Leute kennen, befreundet sich, tauscht sich aus, verbringt Zeit miteinander, streitet auch mal, feiert zusammen, gibt sich Ratschläge und läßt die anderen am eigenen Leben teilhaben.
Der größte Teil meiner Blurt-Gang sind Deutsche.
Es ist natürlich immer einfacher sich in der eigenen Muttersprache zu unterhalten. Aber es gibt auch noch ein paar Leute aus anderen Ländern, z.B. Venezuela. Durch regen Austausch und interessante Posts wurden auch sie in die Gang aufgenommen.
Jetzt ist es so, daß blöderweise unser Pub-Besitzer ein Riesenwal ist und ich bin ein Kleiner. Ehrlich gesagt habe ich keine Ahnung, wie die finanzielle Lage der anderen Gang-Mitglieder aussieht, denn ich interessiere mich nicht für deren Geldbörsen.
Ich habe tatsächlich soviel zu tun, daß ich es nicht einmal schaffe, jeden Tag einen Post zu machen.
Aber ich vote nach Möglichkeit jeden Tag Beiträge und kommentiere auch manchmal. Jeden Beitrag, den ich upvote, schaue ich mir auch an.
Das ist zeitaufwändig.
Die letzten 1000 Votes gingen an 129 verschiedene Autoren.
Es ist völlig normal, daß man einen kleineren Kreis von Leuten hat,
mit denen man engeren Kontakt hat.
Mir und meiner Gang wird das nun vorgeworfen.
https://blurt.blog/blurt/@tekraze/time-to-break-the-ice-or-my-views-as-personal-and-not-as-blurt
Dabei kann man das wahrscheinlich bei fast jedem Account sehen.
Probiert es aus, @michelangelo3 hat schon letztes Jahr ein Tool entworfen.
Da könnt ihr jetzt nachsehen, in welcher gang ihr seid.....
https://steem.uber.space/blurt/outgoing-votes/
(Es soll auch Leute geben, die mehrere Accounts haben und sich damit selbst voten....)
I like my gang too. Many interesting people joined #polish tag in last two months, so I'm using most of my voting power on posts written in polish language. I don't see anything wrong when German folks voting each other on own tag.
Big thanks to German community for standing up against "Blurt drone" idea
thanks man , sometimes it need people which say< STOP or NO...
But here we got shown again what can happen if ONE left the Democracy to use his power in a form of a Dictatorship like way...
The Crazy fact in all is we want all the SAME ....
PEACE !!!!
Thanks!
I agree with you friends!
Ups, ich habe gerade ein Gangmitglied mit 100% gevotet, ist mir so rausgerutscht. Sag es bitte nicht weiter :-))
Ertappt! ;-)
Thanks to you and the gang for helping and supporting me from the start on Blurt. The loving welcome you guys gave me at Blurt was worth more than anything.
Thanks!
I identify myself with #IDUVTS because I don't like automatic votes, since I like to spend time writing my posts, I would like to be appreciated for my content.
I like to appreciate the content of other people read, comment, vote and love the content, learn from it.
When the votes are automatic, it makes no sense to make quality content since it is a safe vote, the content is not valued, but only the money.
A blig platform is for publishing, commenting and appreciating those contents...
I love manual voting... Blurt shouldn't change because it will look like other platforms.
@elkezaksek you're damn good in poetic language👏👏. I enjoyed every line as I read through. I just realized that you guys are so in love 🥰 with Blurt that you can't allow it crumble.
@megadrive wrote elsewhere that sometimes it is good to disagree to agree 👍. Perhaps, this moment was needed for the Blurt family to see how bonded we are as a community of people with a sincerity of purpose for the common good of Blurt.
Perhaps, we need to go to the pub for a 🍸 drink 🍸. What do you 🤔 think? 😃 😀.
Regardless, I wish to sincerely thank all of you for expressing how you feel and I humbly ask that this whole saga be put to rest. You guys are models to us on blurt, and if it continues we will be left in shambles. 💔
Thanks and remain blessed 🙌 .
Cheers!
Thank you.
I am always in favor of discussing, exchanging, but not losing respect for each other.
We in Europe are extremely tense and frustrated.
None of us would have thought that in our lifetime we would be sitting here having conversations about war in Europe, or World War 3.
We don't need war on Blurt as well.
The pile of broken pieces is already there, but maybe we can sweep them away....
A drink in the pub is always good!
Come on by! You are welcome!

You have written every lines by heart. I always prefer to read and see your blog. I don't want to interfere in this matter (gang) because I have no idea about it. I have found you, double-u sir, jeenger sir, michelangelo3 sir, dotwin1981 sir... very helpful and supportive. You guys always helped and supported me a lot. I published a post two days ago, in which I shared my idea of Blurt Crowd Funding for Ukraine. You disagreed with it and didn't like. I accepted it happily because it was my opinion and anyone can disagree with my point of view. I was somewhat sad and upset by the act of double-u sir in his pub. I think he should hadn't say such kind of words. After that, he clarified that he was so exited and all this happened in excitement. That is OK but you can imagine if someone would say you same, then what would you feel?
However, let's come to forget all of these! I admit Blurt is the most beautiful and amazing community and it cares for all it's members. If you're still angry with me, I apologise you mam by heart. Hope I will find you old elkezaksek in future!
I am not angry with you.
And I don't think the others are angry with you either.
We are generally a little disappointed that we are seen as a money-grubbing bunch that only benefits itself.
There have been so many comments the last two days that I didn't know where to reply first....
Thank you so much mam!
Your words are giving me a smooth feeling.
Thank you and your gang to coprations others.you wrote your post very deeply.its true experience.please continue your good work.thank you very much
Thanks for everything. A good gang who always provide various help for blurt users.
Grüßt euch ,
Ich kann nur sagen das ihr alle eine coole Truppe seit und ich echt Spaß mit euch hab jeden Sonntag und die Woche über danke nochmal dafür.
Hoffe das der Stress sich bald legt.
LG Benni
Danke, ich finde die Leute auch toll.
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'm a regular user who once invited witnesses to ask their opinion about VTS. I also invite you. But you are not present to give an opinion. Now you come saying those who use IDUVTS in Profile are insulting, anti-social.
You need to know, my friend uses VTS, we keep in touch. keep greeting each other. not only friends in Blurt but also in the real world.
You have made 4 decisions in 2 days, all the decisions you give are not based on your analysis but based on the analysis of others. If making a decision, please analyze it first. don't just make a decision.
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...
I still choose to be free from VTS service. Because I join blurt not for material, but to express myself to write. If anyone votes, that's a bonus for me.
Issue is not about VTS, issue is about partial views thinking something good, and other thing bad, bad when you are not involved and good when you involved.
Ok, I don't really understand this problem. But I have a principle to always walk with my conscience!
Have you seen the comment i shared ?
You will get to know
Which comments? Maybe I've read it.
I identify myself with #IDUVTS because I don't like automatic votes, since I like to spend time writing my posts, I would like to be appreciated for my content.
I like to appreciate the content of other people read, comment, vote and love the content, learn from it.

I love manual voting... Blurt shouldn't change because it will look like other platforms.
You identifying iduvts is no issue until you respect every other person in community.
There has been a lot of deviation from main topic.
It always reach here.
Why adding coal list from us was denial.of.rights and adding iduvts was a good move.
Anyone questioned on this ?
No one
Hello sir @tekraze, how are you? Excuse me, I respect you. I honor your work with your great development on the platform, at no time have I disrespected you, I respect the opinion of others whether they choose VTS or not. But we have already had histories of what happens with this type of service, always the person like me and many who are in Blurt, who do not have money, we are the most affected by this service (VTS), because they are always votes to the same, who has money.
So my question is your content not valid? your time is not an asset? You just have to have money to be able to receive good rewards? I think that many of those who are here come from other platforms because they saw a different opportunity.
About the carbon list, I don't know what you are talking about, excuse me for not handling that information. If you could provide me with information on this subject, I will give you my opinion.
Thank you for commenting on my comment.
I do care for the work you do and i have always supported that.
But thanks for deviating the issue.
The main issue was not vts or voting ring, but how people were behaved. I don't care how you power up or vote each other.
I only care for community, and if you do not speak on that, then i am sorry. You belong to same people who have a partial view.
Also i am not against any german, any Venezuela, any African noone. You can check that from my vote distribution.
Also i can say only one thing, there is always a deviation from main issue to another issue.
Always the discussion lead to a new issue without the solution of existing one.
If you think, I'm against you and all people, then let it be.
I don't need to prove anything to anyone.
I do not think in any way that you are against me.
First of all, I think it's good that you have your opinion.
You took our german community as an example
and called us "double-u and gang".
What came out of that, you can see.
We were insulted in the comments.
Megadrive then took your graphic and demanded that I take IDUVTS out, otherwise I would not get an airdrop.
We are being sanctioned. So much for decentralization...!
gamestate is a new project of mine and I have the right to engineer the airdrop how I like, I don't demand it, just simply state that i'm not supporting that tag as it labels other users' economic freedoms, i could have done like steemhunt and said anyone who delegates to gamestate gets an airdrop, I didn't like that way of doing things. Airdrop is a bonus and a gift, I can choose how to gift.
Centralisation is silencing people of different views and casting them out of the pub (which is an open source blog) with bad words.
I thought, selfishness would be bad for everyone!
Others can judge us for good or bad. We find it difficult to judge them all, because we are social creatures. So in my opinion, every criticism given by others becomes a science for me to evaluate myself.
