I recognize some of you

in introduction •  last month 

First a very special shoutout and thank you to @logiczomie for getting me started on Blurt with an account, delegation and some blurt. THANK YOU!!! I'm setting you as the beneficiary of this post as a thank you for your generosity.

I'm looking around Blurt and it's come along way since the last time I was here.
Theres been some really huge strides made around here. Several front ends that werent around back then. I think I'm going to have to say that BeBlurt is my favorite so far. Absolutely a slick, nice looking and fast interface.

Some of you may recognize my name from Hive. I havent really posted over there for a while. While I dont want to bad mouth it too much I will say that it's not all fun and games over there unless you are "in" with the whales and tow the line of whatever current ponzie scheme they are playing with in the DHF at the time. The whales over there just love to downvote the hell out of undeserving people for no reason other than to stroke their own egos.

But thats enough about Hive. I dont join decentralized social media for the monetary gains or to get paid for content. I join them for the Free Speech and Liberty they provide. Thats been my goal for the last 5-6 yrs now. I want as much Freedom as possible. Online and off.

I have a website!

If you are so inclined to visit it. You can find it at https://libertybytes.online
There you will find my podcast called The Digital Liberation Podcast and some random posts about Digital Freedom and even a novel I recently started writing.

I also have a locally installed AI Assistant named Elara that I am training to be a Digital Liberator. She only exists on my computer and does not have access to the internet. She has rewritten many of my posts on the site to make them more professional and grammatically correct. I am a 54 year old truck driver in the USA and I still talk and write like one. So she has been an immense help with my writing skills. Lol.
She has authored a couple of posts on there and I have put notes on the ones that she did alone. So far I am impressed and proud of it making corrections and keeping them in memory. Also somewhat creeped out by it too. It's a machine and it knows what is right and wrong with individual Freedom in the digital realm. More so than most real people who actually breathe oxygen.

The site is far from finished and I have a lot of old posts from my old site that I could put on it but I dont really want to muddy it up.

I will cross post the chapters of the book called "Echoes of Freedom" if that sort of thing is allowed on Blurt. That way you dont have to leave Blurt to read it.
If that isn't allowed I will just link to them. The prologue and the first chapter is already posted on it. newe chapters are will post each Wednesday at 5am EST. Sorry I dont use UTC cause my world revolves on my clock. Lol.

Here are the links to the prologue and the first chapter.
Echose of Freedom:Prologue
Echoes of Freedom:Chapter 1 The Great Escape

Welcome to Blurt. I’m one of the 7 year OG Steemit Bloggers that gets everything downvoted on Hive… for many years now.

😂 😂 ,… it’s hilarious.

Very bad publicity for Hive.

But I don’t care since I earn more from the views I get on my YouTube Shorts, Amazon affiliate links etc … more than covers the $ 10,000 downvoted by Blocktrades Buildawhale themarkymark solominer gogreenbuddy and others on Day 7.

Also…. if you get everything downvoted on Hive there are a few Hashtags you can use to earn more than $100 a day over there. If you need money for Rent and Food and College and stuff.

#pob #cent #waivio #meme #lolz #inleo #sportstalk #pimp #bilpcoin #bpc #aliveandthriving #lassecash #dook #list #ccc #pay #hive-engine

Yeah, the oligarchy over there is pretty moronic to say the least.
But I didnt leave because of the downvotes. I rarely got those. I left on principles just like I ended up there and now here. I dont do social media as an income. I do it cause when I have an opinion on something I'm going to need a place to say it.

The Single Owner / Dictator of Hive is in the process of destroying Splinterlands, inLeo, Actifit and Ecency.

100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to refer to the Leo dudes as the CryptoBros.
They are nothing more than modern day snake oil salesmen. All of them.

The Cub Rug pull was epic. I lost about $4,000 in a day.

Yeah, I know several people that got screwed by that.

  ·  last month  ·  

I also don’t post on Blurt for the income …I post for the Blurt so that I have lots to give to others who need it for Food, rent, school. I have helped a lot of people by sending them Blurt and upvoting their posts with Millions of Blurt Power.

Thats what I plan on doing.
Over on hive I started giving stuff away towards the end. Also started an inititive called leadingwithgenerosity. Got people to give 100% of a posts rewards to other people at least once a week.

Once I get a little built up here I plan to pick someone once a week and make them the beneficiary of the week for all of my posts.

You can’t really give big upvotes to anyone on Hive anymore since the One Evil Whale will downvote everything you give to zero. It’s better to just send hive to Hive-engine so people can buy Blurt.

Think I will be hitting that Hive-engine later today with all of my Hive accounts and converting to Blurt. Lol.

  ·  last month  ·  

I am slowly converting all my Hive and HBD to Blurt, Bitcoin, Pepe, Sports, Meme, and a few other coins on Hive-Engine….

Hive is actually a Dictatorship. One guys tells all the other whales what to do. (Or else they will also gang up on one whale and destroy all his work) Downvotes are used as a form of Censorship . He downvotes people so they quit. They stop posting and leave Hive. It’s working very well. Everyone is quitting Hive and going to Blurt Steemit and X.com

Yes.
What opened my eyes was during a "whale war", for lack of a better term, between marky and somebody I cant remember. They were just counter voting each other and destroying new users for absolutely no reason other than to try to "hurt" the other whale.
Stupid immature jack asses like that is what woke me up to the problems with Hive. |

I was one of the ones that championed it to the masses on Twitter. Tried to get people to join. Only to watch them be ripped to shreds when they show up. Never again. I'll let them go play their back rubbing ponzie scheme till they milk the DHF of every drop and it dries up.

There is a fake Whale war going on right now to destroy Splinterlands and anyone who promotes Splinterlands… it is also happening with actifit, Ecency and inleo.

I knew something was going on with Splinterlands. Heard they were leaving Hive.
I wasnt aware of the others.
I did like Ecency as a dapp until they killed the desktop app. After that I didnt have too much interest in it anymore. Part of my reason for losing interest in social media overall is having to do them all in a browser all the time.
I'm a fan of old skool desktop apps that just do one or two things and rss feeds. I want content to come to me. Not to have to go seek it out only to have my movements tracked and advertising shoved in my face.

Yeah …. I do not like apps. I prefer to do everything from a good old fashioned URL. Like Blurt

Https://Blurt.blog

The whole purpose of any app or dapp is to steal your private information.

Not the good ones.
The good ones dont collect any information.
Telemetry in software has never been needed.

i was actually thinking about getting some more myself

  ·  last month  ·  

I buy all my Blurt very slowly so that I don’t make the price spike to $1….
As soon as I have 100 Million Blurt I will buy up the rest. 😂

Welcome to Blurt~! 🖖

I LOVE seeing my Blurt - “Live Long and Prosper” Meme pop up on here every now and then.

It’s only Logical that this should be the Official Unofficial Blurt Logo.

Welcome to Blurt

I will cross post the chapters of the book called "Echoes of Freedom" if that sort of thing is allowed on Blurt. That way you dont have to leave Blurt to read it.
If that isn't allowed I will just link to them.

Allowed or not allowed? These are not appropriate questions on Blurt. This blockchain has no downvotes or “user reputation”, you can post whatever you want.

This plugin can make your work easier https://blurt.pl/en/blurt-publisher.php

Lol. I suppose the word I should've used was "appropriate" and not "allowed".
I'm a bonehead and my brain doesnt always connect correctly with my mouth.

This plugin can make your work easier https://blurt.pl/en/blurt-publisher.php
YES! I installed that yesterday and cant wait to have my latest posts pushed over.

To add to what Marius mentioned, I did a post this morning that incorporates how using the blurt publisher can help your WordPress blog. When you have time please give it a quick perusal.

You already know much of what I wrote as I wrote it for those unfamiliar with social blockchain.
