RE: The Katharsisdrill project
Thanks, mate! (And congrats with the trending post. That wouldn't have happened before the fork!) The thing is that what it takes is just a matter of ordinary people with close to ordinary morals to have a healthier Steem. The downvotes simply made me go look for something worth downvoting and boy are there a lot out there. Steemit is a can of scoundrel worms.
The fork has been a very positive experience for me :D
When there's an economic system tied to a social media that is also decentralized (cannot just ban people), it is bound to be a platform for abuse attempts and quick money grabs. It took a while to figure that the system needs free downvotes, but I think that once we figured it out, we will recover – the positive change is and will weed out the negative that was able to grow during the past couple years. You know, what has been taking place here, is really remarkable: complete shift in culture and shutting down big abusers, big stake holders starting to curate, new stake is being spread increasingly to good actors – which makes the chain much more robust for long term. And now that the base layer is equipped with tools to make it healthier, we are setting up nicely for SMTs. Interesting times ahead :)
I am flappergasted about what is happening. I more or less had decide to leave two weeks ago. Now suddenly there is something to fight for.
Haha, the Hard Fork came just in time!
