Dear Steemians, Dear Steemit Team!

This report follows on from one I wrote eight weeks ago... and will be the last of its kind.

After 88 weeks as Steem Representative, I look back on a time in which I behaved exactly the same way on the Steem as I would have without this position: I am always ready to talk, approachable and endeavour to seriously familiarise myself with new material. It should come as no surprise that this is exactly what I will continue to do! Just without the reports ;-))

Seriously - I have largely avoided these reports because, in my view, they contain nothing of substance. I consider them superfluous as a pure guarantee for high votes.

I'm sure you've already correctly deduced from my farewell speech that there will be no new application from me. I am very satisfied that I have tried myself out and perhaps been able to make the odd wake-up call. Beyond that, I don't see anything else I could move.

Some of my suggestions over the past few months have been taken up, others ignored. I am therefore happy to make way for someone from the younger generation of Steemians, who may be a little more persistent in getting their platform right. I wish all applicants luck and the Steemit team a good hand in selecting the new SRs!

What remains for me is hope: that in the long run the interesting bloggers will prevail again, that the abusive activities will come to an end, that the networking here can contribute to a better understanding among each other, that Steemit will remain stable as a platform and as a decentralised system (will it?) and that the basic mood will become more optimistic again...

Finally, I would like to draw your attention to a new Witness in the Steem universe: you can now vote for @wakucat. Let's make sure she gets a chance to prove herself! Who still has a vote left: @wakeupkitty, who is behind this witness account, has always delighted us with surprising and pragmatic ideas, is a friend of clear words and hopefully brings a fresh, dynamic wind into the ranks of the still often inactive Witnesse...

Thank you very much for the trust you have placed in me and I bid you farewell as outgoing SR. See you on the Steem!

Yours @weisser-rabe

Deutsche Version:

Liebe Steemians, liebes Steemit Team!

Auch dieser mein Bericht folgt auf einen bereits acht Wochen zurück liegenden… und soll der letzte seiner Art sein.

Nach 88 Wochen als Steem Representative blicke ich auf eine Zeit zurück, in der ich mich auf dem Steem genau so verhalten habe wie ohne diese Position: ich bin immer gesprächsbereit, zugänglich und bemüht, mich ernsthaft in neue Materie einzuarbeiten. Es dürfte keine Überraschung sein: genau das werde ich auch weiterhin tun! Nur eben ohne Berichte ;-))

Im Ernst – diese Reports habe ich weitgehend vermieden, weil sie aus meiner Sicht nichts substantielles enthalten. Als reinen Garant für hohe Votes halte ich sie für überflüssig.

Aus meinem angedeuteten Abschiedsreferat habt Ihr sicher schon zutreffend geschlußfolgert – es wird keine neue Bewerbung von mir geben. Ich bin sehr zufrieden, daß ich mich ausprobiert habe und vielleicht den einen oder anderen Weckruf absetzen konnte. Darüber hinaus sehe ich nichts, was ich noch bewegen könnte.

Einige meiner Anregungen in den vergangenen Monaten Wawurden aufgegriffen, andere ignoriert. Meinen Platz räume ich daher gerne für jemanden aus der jüngeren Generation von Steemians, die sich ihre Plattform vielleicht etwas hartnäckiger zurechtbiegen mögen. Ich wünsche allen Bewerbern Glück und dem Steemit Team ein gutes Händchen bei der Auswahl der neuen SR‘s!

Was mir bleibt, ist Hoffnung: daß sich auf lange Sicht doch wieder die interessanten Blogger durchsetzen, daß die mißbräuchlichen Aktivitäten ein Ende finden, daß die Vernetzung hier etwas zum besseren Verständnis untereinander beitragen kann, daß Steemit als Plattform und als dezentrales System stabil bleibt (wird?) und daß die Grundstimmung wieder etwas optimistischer wird…

Ich erlaube mir abschließend, auf einen neuen Witness im Steem-Universum aufmerksam zu machen: für @wakucat kann ab sofort gevotet werden. Laßt uns dafür sorgen, daß sie eine Chance bekommt, sich zu beweisen! Wer noch eine Stimme übrig hat: @wakeupkitty, die hinter diesem Zeugenaccount steckt, hat uns immer mit überraschenden und pragmatischen Ideen erfreut, ist eine Freundin der klaren Worte und bringt hoffentlich einen frischen, dynamischen Wind in die Reihen der immer noch vielfach inaktiven Witnesse...

Ich danke vielmals für das in mich gesetzte Vertrauen und verabschiede mich als scheidender SR. Wir sehen uns auf dem Steem!

Euer @weisser-rabe

88 is a very long run, and I wonder how many can say that they worked that hard for such a long time

I agree with you that there is no need to write if there's nothing to share, which is a fact. For sure, with the rewards of these reports can be done something good for the community.

I didn't read your "weekly" updates, but read you and liked what you wrote, also because it was never the average blah blah, but what you noticed and can be improved if we only would join hands.

Like you, I have hope, it's possible, even if it's only with a small group to make Steemit a blooming platform,

I have no idea how many will read your report, but if you ask me, you will always be the SR!

Thank you for mentioning me and giving me your trust.
I can not say I will not disappoint you since we never know who is willing to lend a hand and how many will work against, but I promise I will do my best.

A big hug to you and a creative, relaxed weekend!

🍀♥️

Thanks, Kitty! That's a lot of praise!

It's well deserved. It's always good to have an akert, critical person to avoid everyone dozes off.

Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann... ;-))

Kudos!
I admire you for that decision. I am sure it will make you feel better and more satisfied as only the genuine bloggers and those who truly believe in the platform will remain. True, reports bring more influx but are so boring. Also in the long run, they won't bring new people or investors to STEEM as I am sure new people would be attracted by interesting content and reports... aren't that. I hope the steemit management team finds a better way to pay its curators... ask them to be creative and write something more meaningful, for instance ;)

Have a lovely weekend and thanks for bringing my attention to that new witness! :)

Hugs from Bulgaria :)

Hugs back ;-))

You have demonstrated what many people find difficult to imagine by working 88 weeks straight. Not everyone has the eyes to understand the sincerity and dedication of some people you are one of them, We saw it with those eyes. The way you worked with dedication and responsibility will remain a shining example of inspiration to us. Your activism is the strength of our journey. I convey to you my deepest heartfelt gratitude. Best wishes from.

Many thanks for your appreciation!

Weldone for your role, efforts and contributions during these past season of your SR activities , they are all appreciated!

 last month 

Thanks, Ubong! I think we both know: in the future I will act in the same way...

 last month 

You always have the right plans!

Thank you for all you have done to help improve the platform.

I'm here to stay ;-))

Late to the party, but I just have to say three things:

Consistency.
Righteousness.
Straightforwardness.

And above all, a remarkable way with words.
I have yet to come across someone with such depth and understanding—the way you choose your words, the way you see through texts—it's truly something else.

I’ve always admired you for that.
And of course… you're here to stay.

Ciao

I was expecting it but I guess it was your chance to support the deserving ones! I know you're right up to some extent when you say the reports are nothing but vote catching document but from now on it's gonna be different as the SRs are being given extra responsibility. I hope you will reconsider your views.

 last month 

I will watch. I have a bold assumption: most of the nominations will again concern the same users who are already well networked as admins, mods and SRs...

My support continues to go to those who convince with good texts. The difference made by a delegation of 5000SP is not that big. The main thing is that, with or without SR status, I am looking for users who have received little attention. And you can judge that because you do it yourself ;-))

 last month 

I understand your concern but do you think all are the same? Are you the same? You were much needed at this point for this important job.

 last month 

Yes. I thought so. It didn't work...

 last month 

I can only say, you're missing a chance to support the deprived ones.

 last month 

Wow this is amazing! You keep recording of how long you have been a steem rep.

Working with you as curator exposed me to know you and I didn't regret it at all because I learnt so much.

It's unfortunate that you will not be reapplying again as steem rep but it's ok, we respect your choice.

I want you to know that you did great as a steem rep. I wish you all the best!

 last month 

Thanks, Ruth! All things have it's time... ;-))

Great efforts and all the best 🤠😊 👌
