We've been discussing solutions with the devs rather than the Bernie approach of trying to pitchfork them.

They seem to mean well and, with a bit of work, what they are doing can contribute to the ecosystem. For example, instead of tweet to hive. Should be hive to tweet.

I see Hive account@dhimmel does make a valid use case in tweet archival. Something absolutely vital in the current age of censorship but maybe decline rewards and a few tweaks to the front ends could keep the clutter out of people's feeds.

Due to the nature of reblogs, I don't think it can be completely removed from feeds unless the front ends opt in to do so. If they do not, can't really fault Hive account@dbuzz as I don't think it can be done chain level at least as I understand things to work.

I can totally understand if they have a bad taste in their mouth though and leave. The way it was handled was pisspoor to say the least.
