Yeah - its a shame - we've seen what it can be, and also what it is now (not much) - but I have never seen any other platform come close to what this was at its best, and I suspect that no others will, so although I'm pretty negative about it all these days, I keep sharing some of my blog posts on my @frot account and would really like to see it recover. Not likely, but I must still have a tiny hope or I wouldn't have done this post.

Having my @sift666 account "blacklisted" doesn't give me much optimism though!

What did you do to get blacklisted?

I trolled a post a few weeks ago by calling out all the bots "commenting" -

And then I had a look at this bot's habits:

They appear to be putting about 50-100 people a day on a blacklist (which they don't display) - in fact that is all @buildawhale posts about! - presumably so they can steal our money - and they give themselves a $10 upvote for doing variations of the same blacklist post once or twice each day - unbelievable...

I was wondering what evil deed you had done. :-)
Pity everybody didn't find out about it, then they might stop using bots.
What happened to "teamnz'?, do you know, were they blacklisted as well?

I don't know, they just stopped voting about 10 days ago - so I've taken back my delegation as part of my powering down process - I really hope I'm wrong, but at this point I'm very pessimistic about the whole platform. I use bots on everything I post on my main account as an insurance against being flagged.

I thought you and your boss were part of the instigators of teamnz.
I hope the site remains, it was a good idea at the start, maybe it will return that way again

No we just gave them a delegation.

This is my current opinion of what is going on:
