I'm glad that Yours, memo*, and Matter exist, all of which use the BCH blockchain, and memo and Matter are ON the blockchain.

*(Yours is currently invite-only, and there are no invite links to share yet.)

There's also Weku, which is similar to steemit, but operates on different specs. And minds; though I'm not fond of it.

I spoke about the whale issue 10 months ago, and the general atmosphere seems to have only continued and gotten worse.

I'm glad there are attractive and usable alternatives in the marketplace of blockchain social networks.

I'm exercizing those options.

On the upside, if steemit content becomes editable, I might end up using steemit more.
Though... why wouldn't I just use Matter or Yours?

I can't figure out the steemit payment system, and I've gotten a good handle on being able to use BCH. Frankly, I'm not sure why I'd use Weku either -- I doubt I'd have much more luck "cashing out" than I have with steemit... but I'm giving it a whirl.

I made this into a post.
