Feels like ages since I've last posted, just wanted to drop in a quick post saying I'm still alive although I was feeling under the weather for a while there and haven't been able to focus much on Steem things. I have to admit the recent hardfork and the "negativity" that came with it has sure taken it's toll even though I do see most of my activity justified and I'm sure the majority would agree with me. Although I don't regret treating some users the way I have been treating them I do regret being a bit vulgar about it as it just puts both parties in a bad light. Anyway, we'll be continuing using our downvotes the way we see them fit on overrewarded low effort posts, plagiarism and other blacklisted users who still seem to want to attempt and get post rewards by different means and their actions by retaliating on my posts and ocd's compilation posts show what kind of people they are more than my words would.
I'm awaiting communities to become open for everyone so we can start kickstarting some with our voting power so a lot of my recent focus has been on building partnerships with other well organised and communities with a lot of potential to become a big part of Steem. Partnerships here does not really mean the usual definition of it, meaning we're not really getting much out of it ourselves but instead just helping support them with our stake and delegated stake for the greater good of Steem. I'm hoping communities will bridge the gap a bit from all the splitting up that has occurred here in the past - everyone and their cats have a different discord server and token and it seems like they've forgotten that we all share this ecosystem and inflation together and should work together on fully utilizing the platform we already have which keeps getting evolved and being made more and more scalable. With communities I am hoping there will be more partnerships and teamworks and at the same time work on one of the biggest issues we still have today which is easy onboarding. There are some solutions being worked on for this so I am hopeful that we will get it fixed in time.
I've also spent a lot of time planning other things and projects here on Steem but my activity doesn't really show it. Being a full time Steemian people often think that most of it means you're doing it on the chain but unfortunately that's not how things work right now, even though I wish more things would happen on chain. Anyway, it's the weekend now and I'm going to be trying to relax a bit and maybe do some Gods Unchained streaming as I think that community will be one of the biggest moving forward in the year 2020 as it has already shown an immense growth and just keeps growing even though the updates from the GU team have been a bit lacking lately. The fundamentals are still there and the majority of newcomers that have gotten into the game but been new to crypto in general have appreciated our platform here and what it does for content creators. Looking forward to see that growth and all other communities in the upcoming year and also other blockchain gaming projects.
We have a small announcement to make soon with another "partnership" so stay tuned for that. It is time to stop being spread out too thin and get together to showcase Steem to the world and everyone who only has bad prejudice and experiences from the word crypto due to all the shit it has brought out in the past. It'll be an uphill battle but luckily for us the centralized platforms are making our job easier.
