Up late again this evening, I found that I had failed to create the above properly, i.e. I had forgotten to tag you in it!? 🙄😞
I'll fix that now ...

I'm so glad you followed up on this @roleerob - your previous comment completely slipped my notice! I've just finished reading up on your last post, all the comments, and links... What an insightful journey that was...
You are so very principled - (only a good thing!) - it's evident that you've navigated your investments with care and thoughtfulness... despite facing disappointments and witnessing injustices. It's alarming to learn that the blockchain is caving on the values it was built upon in the first place. (Decentralisation being one! Kindness, openness, and clarity being others.)
The responses you've encountered, especially in the linked thread, reveal a troubling lack of understanding and a tendency towards personal defensiveness rather than clear, logical discourse... it's concerning to see such dynamics... particularly in someone who claims they've been entrusted with a decision-making role...
Let's hope your post makes ripples - the more community members are aware of these issues, the more wiling they'll be to address them as they come up... establishing discourse about how to establish more effective accountability mechanisms sounds like a good target to me! Oh, I do wish you'd linger around on Hive and help to push change forwards... indeed, I was excited by this comment of yours especially...
Although it must be wearying, after so many years, to see abuse being repeated in perpetuity by busybodies with too much power and not enough sense... perhaps change is on the way? Hm, I genuinely do hope so. The accounts you mentioned appear to be harmful entities, receiving compensation for promoting negative behaviour driven by personal animosity rather than constructive engagement... this kind of practice doesn't belong in the Hive community.
Having only been here for a wee while, I do like the space and see the potential for it. But I suppose ego comes about it many forms... inside the Hive blockchain, as well as out... It's disheartening, to say the least. It only instils lack of trust.
For your sake, @actaylor ...
... I hope your own "journey" through this blockchain's many different communities is rewarding and a net positive experience. My post brings "out into the light" issues many would rather not address. And I have turned away from them long enough.
So ... For me, it is time to call it ...
I will always have fond memories of my own. And will never forget the fascination of engaging directly with others all over the world.
If you ever become aware the needed reforms are actually implemented, please feel free to let me know. I hope for the sake of you and the many good people who choose to remain active, that it is not too far off.
Take care!
👋
I will do, @roleerob 🌸
