Yeah, it didn't take me long to stop following him once I saw what he does here.
I'm hopeful you can overlook the value of your posts for now. I wrote a post on how I see this developing yesterday inspired by your comments here to me.
The foundation itself isn't like Banfield in my opinion. I lean more towards many who came first are from impoverished areas and it's up to us to build here what we want. This place is ours for the taking if we commit to it. We won't be censored through flagging, and as more understand one won't be canceled here it will draw more. I've already witnessed it in the time I've been here.
And, the more of us that continue to post truth will be a beacon for others unsure of where they can go without censorship.
I see much potential here, and have watched as some has already materialized.
I hope that you will change your mind and stay. Just because Hive doesn't target you right now doesn't mean they wont. I wasn't targeted much either, but I really grew tired of seeing so many in my circles who were. I got tired of seeing the meltdowns and knew it was time to walk away.
I will stay for you, I will take a few days off, restore a motorbike, plant some seeds, come back fresh, I just needed to say what I said, including my last post, the place needs a shake up, hope I shook it good, yes it has potential - but and a big one, those in the foundation need to stop arguing in public, it never worked on steemit, it will not work here, keep the drama to email or phone calls, not interested in dirty laundry in public.
Thank you :)
I mentioned that to Lucylin about an hour ago in a comment. While I also wish that their approach would have been a little different and not created so much collateral damage I understand they needed to nip what was going on in the bud.

Every week the attacks grew by the largest whale in question because he didn't get his way in forcing a code change that would have eroded personal property rights.Personal attacks on one of the co founders who stood up to him when he tried forcing a vote to erode said rights.
I find it honorable that the foundation was willing to take the hit on value for now to let it be clear that Blurt is an advocate for free speech, which includes how one uses their stake.
The co founder in question ignored the attacks for weeks before I assume he realized they were not only not going to stop but continue growing. I do as i said wish that the counter would have been different and stayed with just the one whale and not rope in so many others who were often seen with that whale. Especially since it caused one of two I'm closest to here to power down and leave as well. But I do understand why it was done, and appreciate he chose honoring speech over value. He could have simply caved to the demands to erode our speech.
