RE: 13 To 4 Week PowerDown on Steem Blockchain / YES
Not the same. They put what was an explicitly temporary block on some accounts pending discussion. They reverted it later. Seizing funds is a hypocritical move when Justin said it was a wrong thing to do. The fact is that Justin controls Steem. He can decide who gets to be a witness. Any dissent will be punished and that can include taking your funds away. I'm a minor player, but Steemit still wipe out my rewards for criticising then. Freedom is dead on Steem unless you suck up to them. That's why I no longer want to be here.
I go where the true community is.
That voting process was incredibly rigged. There was only an option to deny funds overall. Not for each of the respective choices.
I.E. If I want direct votes not to get airdropped, but proxied votes to get an airdrop, I still have to vote for the no airdrops at all option. It was an eloquent way of getting the witness' desired result.
Some might call it a cult. Whatever the case, my experience has been that Steem is a much more encouraging and welcoming environment right now.
Anything you don't like can be called a cult. Steem is now the cult of Justin :) He controls what happens and the community has no say. Enjoy all those paid/self-vote posts that suck up the reward pool.
Don't worry, I only have 4 more weeks to power down. Shame exchanges are reluctant to touch Steem.
