RE: This was meant to be my steemiversar post, but now its my goodbye
Noooo @dunstuff !!!! At least, can you recount the positives you've seen on the platform here in a post?
Because where you're leaving to... It's more of the same, hidden from plain view. Although if you find a place where I'm wrong about it, do let me know!
You know what's unique to this platform though? It's all freaking transparent. Where the money is, how it is getting assigned, who is assigning it. One thing to note here is that as the platform grows, and more people stake, it chips away from the % stake involved in this self jerking, all it takes is to keep like minded people like the people at @helpie doing good for the community.
But forget about that, actually look at the kind of communities that this platform has enabled to form, and spreading money to places where it otherwise would not be possible. The things you mention about the poor not getting attention, it is happening here, there's plenty of examples like what @youarehope has done. Those Nigerians and Venezuelans you brought up, some of them are here and it had made such a huge difference. There's so much positive activity amongst the shitty behavior you cite, which I'm not discounting by the way.
My point is, in spite of behavior that is unproductive for growth, we have growth. It would be sad to see you go honestly, at least from the little time I have interacted with you. But before you go, I do ask that you first generate a list of positive things that you have seen. Then make the decision.

FOR TSE: Here and in "the real world" people need to reclaim the power of unified action. If we did that we could change this place ... here and in "the real world." There are a hell of a lot more of "us" than there are of "them." Do you suppose they've ever thought about that -- and what it could mean ... if the tide were to change?
