after ignoring it for 5 years i am really happy i gave it a try lately.

i just really like the positive vibe on blurt, there is a sense of voluntary collaboration rather than entrenched rivalries, and the absent downvoting mechanism forces people to overcome their differences or mute and ignore each other, rather than getting stuck in endless retaliation.

it also makes everyone on blurt more vigilant about what posts to upvote, because there is no self professed content police interjecting themselves.

rather it is up to every participant to make blurt a fair and open space and to cast his votes with sovereignty and discernment. no third parties that interfere or judge what other people like to upvote.

after a month on blurt i found that none of the criticisms i read on hive about blurt hold water. which made the hive "case" against blurt even more shaky.

a wave of new frontends would be really helpful and it will be a glorious place to be for anyone who is looking for a truly uncensorable place on the internet to speak their mind goong forward. but rather than waiting for someone with huge funding to do it, everything feels way more grassroots over there which i always preferred to overly bureaucratic.and bloated remote governing of everything.
