yeah it is a difficult one to swallow. it's interesting joining something that we all have wishes to see it go in different directions yet really cannot shift the infrastructure creation. i still think we can make something amazing of this place on a grassroots level regardless of the slightly sociopathic and tone deaf leadership.

thanks for the review of Minds! I think i have an account there (i've dipped into a few other cryp blockchain social sites), but none of them have really "taken" for me. wow alarming to hear the stats on them believing kavanaugh. i couldn't believe what a baby he was in the hearing.

I just hope one of the SMTs manages to get traction before some other site like NRVE, Minds, etc. does, or their frontrunner advantage with Steemit will have been squandered.

totally agree!

haha i hope it doesn't undermine SM for you too ;) i haven't gotten into that yet, but i did read your review of it the other day and it tempted me a little further lol!
