For what it's worth, I completely understood your intentions for delegating to Justin. The 'ziplomat' in me would've done the same.
I know you got a lot of flack for doing so, and no appreciative response from Justin. I do think it's true that diplomats are rarely popular, as narrow-sighted people on both sides will almost always perceive their behaviors as some kind of betrayal. It's unfortunate, but common, I think.
I've also made my move to Hive, pulled my delegations (except for minnowsupport and the alliance) and initiated a power-down. I can't abide by censorship. Simple as that.
See you over there, old friend.
When I first came to Steem it was because I'd been kicked off of facebook for literally the 5th/6th time. I found a post by stellabelle. She said I could post on Steemit without fear of censorship. I've done so for four years. When the "flagship" app on Steem is hellbent on approved opinions only... just ridiculous. Literally every decision he's made is so disgusting to my soul.
So, while I believed the empty promises around governance for a while I just can't see this thing going anywhere positive. I'm sure plenty of people can make "I love the Sun" posts and get upvoted by steemit accounts for decent money for a while, but that's not a steem life for those unwilling to bend the knee. Honestly, it's not a life for the guys who will bend the knee either.
See you on the other side. Glad you made the move.
