While I. Understand a lot of the frustration, particularly with regards to a small handful of downvote abusers, I find some of the people complaining about this stuff to be either unhinged (hive is controlled by a satanic cabal????) or without a realistic plan for how to build anything that really improves upon what we have. You need people to keep buying the token otherwise the value goes to shit and I don’t see blurt as being incredibly capable in this regard though I do wish them well and do post from time to time.

I’ve been spending most of my time at INLEO because there isn’t much drama there and they’ve been really welcoming to me since they opened up to non-finance content. They are also super capable, and they also don’t seem to be on great terms with this so called “cabal” (which I think is merely just a bunch of social awkward people with anger issues). It’s also not perfect but its allowed me to focus on writing and interacting and stay out of bullshit drama.

I never had any illusions that crypto or hive would solve al our problems. I’m happy if it solves a few, and that it does. It also has more than enough going for it to grow and seems to always self correct over time so I learned to just try to lead by example and not kiss any asses that don’t deserve it and try to be who I am and say what I want to say without starting shit. I’m an artist first and foremost and if it helps me develop as an artist or fund it, it’s worth being here.

My IRL is full of real community and hive has its pockets of it too. If I ever find a better place to connect IRL with digital and the ability to gather resources, I’ll be there. For now the best thing for that other than Hive is Instagram lol so, yeah I’m not quitting hive now.

Let me know where I can find you if you decide to leave for good
