I was just concerned about the same thing - over on Hive.
(We are currently spread rather thin between these two platforms.... if Sina is able to pick up comments on Steemit after all - thought there were VPN issues/dial in issues) then it makes more sense for both of us to be in the same location.) OV has decided to never ever ever never come back onto Steemit no matter what anybody ever writes here. Powerful place this turns out to be, attracting or deterring, while we all only want to connect, be understood, understand or earn an honest token of appraisal.
