RE: DLive is joining the Lino blockchain, moving away from Steem
How can a small group of devs "steal" anyone? You're free to come and go as you please, as are they.

Of course, everybody's free to come and go as they please. DLive surely got bought to move, and probably for a substantial sum of money since they were already doing great over here. Why not use both chains? Because they are part of the Lino team.
They can leave but, the way they leave seems just like a slap in the face to the blockchain that put them on the map. Why give away 100 Points? Because you need new users and are trying to acquire/steal them from here.
But yeah, maybe you are right, a handful of devs can't steal away Steemians to a new testnet platform because, with all its problems, Steem is still the best social-media blockchain out there, and the industry standard at the moment. Thus, who would leave it for something non-existent? :)
I'm willing to test the waters on this new endeavor of theirs. I am nor ever was exclusive to @DLive or #STEEM, but I believe that both will be successful on their own accounts. I'm a streamer, and I still do the occasional stream on twitch, of course it's not primarily for the money or that twitch has all the bells and whistles, it's to show my audience there are better alternatives like DLive. I also blog, and a majority of my posts are oriented towards life as a streamer, so even after DLive pulls out and blows their wad in a younger, prettier, less experienced partner, I'll still be blogging on @Steempeak.
Its because they can be on both chains, it's not as if they have cooties all of a sudden and the community will forever shun them, even though the thoughtform of "Steem loyalty" cannot fathom such alternatives.
Two Million In Delegations from Steemit. Yep. Theft of users and using us to fund their startup, intentionally planning to then go take 20 Million from the next hotty.
In marriages, it's not called "theft", it's called domestic abuse and adultry.
I know we dont always agree, but I have to say you pretty well nailed it this time.
Even a broken clock ;)
LOLZ!
Wheres the covenant or in this case the contract? In reality, Theft doesn't exist when you talk about delegation, what is delegated isn't taken, it was given.
You don't look old enough to have been in business or tech very long, and the knife in your mouth also tells me some basic kindergarten knife safety lessons were overlooked, but google "collusion" and "The story of the Trojan Horse", thanks for your input though. ;)
Yeah because this had anything to do with "the knife " in my mouth and not everything to do with these two facts:
They can't "steal" users.
Nothing was contracted, nobody made vows either.
The Trojan horse, good one, skipping right along from "adultery" to "collusion". Hilarious.
@baah I have to say that I concur with your coherent comment here big time!!
Their loyalty is to an idea yet they fool themselves into thinking that the manifestation of that idea is the end all be all regardless that the execution is lacking and has been for quite a while. It's the idea behind Steem that they ought to be behind, who cares where and who executes it, and if someone does it more conscious and consistent with the ethos of the idea then you've got nobody to blame but yourself if you stick around the poorly implemented idea.
Yeah, it is pretty bad, like a divorce.
Yes, they can be on both chains but, obviously, they don't want that since they are leaving Steem for good, their delegation is already removed.
But that's good; if they don't want us, it's better that they are leaving now than, leaving when we're huge. :D
Hmm, but I was talking about us users being on both chains..
Sorry, my bad in that case.
Yeah, users can use both chains, it is already happening, that's not such a huge issue, necessarily.
But, people didn't just used DLive for their service but, for the chain they were operating on. A lot of people became video content creators after the launch of DTube, and eventually DLive because they saw an opportunity in doing so since they could've got rewarded in Steem.
People were also able to stream on Twitch it's same as DLive, probably better as technology but, many of them never did it since it's not Steem.
DLive developed their tech here, with the resources we provided, and are now leaving with to another chain, and that is the reason people are mad.
They are mad because they feel cheated, they feel cheated because they think "they stole all these resources " but clearly if everything was given without expectations there wouldn't be an entitlement over dlives lack of "loyalty" to a website, and since it wasn't given without those strings attached good on them for being mad, next time maybe when something is given it won't be disingenuous, maybe they won't share shit next time, we shall see because this might be the much needed catalyst which addresses the concerns that Dlive has mentioned which remain without any reassurance for ever being addressed, the joke of "we'll cross that bridge when we get there" as we're neck deep in water..
