Wow, that were some days of ups and downs; I almost left steemit, as I felt that it was falling apart and going nowhere. Fortunately I sat down for a night and dug deep into this blockchain. On this trip I discovered a layer in steemit where - instead of complaining and calling for @ned - people decided to take action themselves. Since then I am an avid follower of these wars. They might go down in history as the Wars of Steemians Finally Realizing what Freedom & Anarchy Means. And the narration is amazing!
I was always a bit taken aback when people on this platform called for the 'bosses' to police a bit more. This is the habit of our fucked up world pouring over into this anarchist platform. No surprise: Almost nobody is used to live without directors/presidents/bosses or whatever you want to call them. But finally it seems that more and more steemians start to understand the meaning of self-governing, micro-policing and taking responsibility .
I am very impressed by @ned and his patience to let this play out, and thus have a chance to mature. Respect!
If you want to follow and/or support this war, @flagawhale is a good place to start. Other heroes & people involved: @fulltimegeek, @hendrix22, @thejohalfiles, @friendsofgondor, @lyndsaybowes, to just name a few.
I am scared of getting in the line of fire, as many of you are. But there is the safe and important 'healing' going on: Warriors who were heavily flagged by the 'enemy' need your upvotes to heal. Brilliant!
I have to say I am happy to have found my way back to embracing steemit!
See you on the road!
