RE: BuildTeam CEO Update: STEEM/HIVE Services Roadmap
As someone who is still running a steem witness can you tell me how you feel about these changes to the terms of service? Some open and honest communication would help during these trying times.
Do you agree with these changes? Were you consulted at all before they were changed? Do you really believe people need written permission to promote each other? Am I seriously not allowed to promote anything that isn't Steemit?
User Conduct
14.1. When accessing or using the Services, you agree that you will not commit any unlawful act, and that you are solely responsible for your conduct while using our Services. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you agree that you will not:
14.1.7. Use our services to promote third-party platforms or to promote each other without our written permission.
Hi, I saw this recently yes. It is absolutely ridiculous. Seems worse than Facebook censorship, I was not consulted, Justin Sun just does what he likes without consulting anyone. No people shouldn't need permission to promote each other. Justin controls steemit.com so I suggest you start using Steempeak.com or busy.org going forward as they do not have those restrictions, we should make a movement to migrate people to other frontends on Steem.
Thanks, I appreciate the reply. I'm switching to Hive but would also like to hang around here as well. I've messaged all the current witnesses who have at least 1 post (which sadly means only a few of the current witnesses) and asked the same thing. I'm trying to get a sense of which witnesses to keep supporting, you already have my vote and I'm happy to keep it that way :)
