I even got a thank you note from one of their witnesses.
My only votes left was:
@blockbrothers
@coingecko
@quochuy
I voted for @blockbrothers because I respect @exyle who has been the most positive person here for all these years. That voice ruled me out of an airdrop.
Later, I was voted for @triple.aaa, which is suspected one by their terms, but then again person behind that nick is real, not some sockpuppet. By the way, he was the only 0.22.5 witness on my list. Incredibly, he somehow managed to get in to Hive, so do @quochuy, @exyle and @blockbrothers.
To conclude. They have excluded me from an airdrop because of votes for witnesses who are all good enough to become Hive users.
That's fair? What do you think?
Thank you,
@friendlystranger, investor

The entire Hive exclusion list makes no sense whatsoever and is causing way more harm than good in both the short and likely the long run. Instead of 1 centralized chain, we now have 2 centralized chains.
No, it's not. IMO, that's a major dick move.
It appears that there is/will be a way to get the airdrop if you submit a Hive DAO and it gets enough votes. Not yet sure about how it works, though.
There is a process which will be in place to allow people like yourself to post for support from the community to receive the airdrop. The excluded amounts have been set aside to allow for that process to take place. I encourage you to avail yourself of it.
They are against (decentralization) democratization. All they wont is total control. Good luck with that.
Interesting perspective you have there... those who went to Hive believe Justin Sun has no interest in decentraliztion (democratization)
So, from my perspective, creating a process to allow some to gain the airdrop they lost out on is far more democratic than the aribtrary let's change the TOS to fit the actions of Justin Sun.
That drove those who wanted to stay and see Steem thrive to decide it's not viable or wanted.
First they came for ninja mined stake. Remember? Now is: You need to vote for us! Strange concept of decentralization (democratization). I removed votes and it means nothing to them. All they wont is total control. Ninja mined stake suddenly is not enough. What's next?
I think those who feel pushed off Steem through Justin's erractic behaviour are asking the same question.. or similar.. what craziness is he going to pull next.
