RE: Where Have all my Steemit Friends Gone?
Hey you. It's been a while!
Yes a LOT had happened in just a couple of months. Steemit Inc was sold to Justin Sun of Tron in February. He wanted to do some things that the community didn't want, so they stopped him from using the Steemit stake to take control of the Steem blockchain, by freezing those accounts temporarily. A questionable move, but just as questionable was Justin's move to take control anyway, by getting some exchanges to power up customer Steem and voting in 20 temporary witnesses.
Long story short, the original community witnesses forked the chain off with an exact copy near the end of March and it is called Hive (at least currently, but that's another story). You have an account ready and waiting for you there if you wish to use it: https://hive.blog/@evlachsblog
Many communities have packed up and gone there. Some people have stayed on Steem and some are using both. Most of my friends have gone there, but some are still here, so I'm trying to juggle the two.
I hope you are well.
Oh wow, thank you for replying.
So ned has gone? Where is he now? What did Justin want to do that people didn't want?
How come I have already an account on Hive? Do I use the same passwords or keys that I use here? Can I post the same exact thing there what I post on here?
Anyway, how are you? How's semi-lockdown treating you so far? Hope you're well, too.
Glad to receive a message from you.
I see you figured these questions out anyway! Lol
I keep forgetting to check in on Steem, sorry.
That's all right. All good. Yeah, I tried my posting key and it worked.
