We'll have to agree to disagree.

I don't see any freedom in belonging to two dictatorships. I like @ats-david's idea to move, but the key is "move," and not "split away." People generally only move to something better than where they are, and we do need to move. especially the dApps, web front-ends etc. Not have one foot in each pond.

I stongly believe a clean cut is needed to a better (with greater on-chain freedom and governance) solution, not just another one the same. It would be way too easy to not move. There is freedom to choose to stay with the TRONSTEEM, or move to a better STEEM, with greater on-chain freedoms.

Out of principle, I wouldn't want to keep stake in something I don't agree with the way it was captured from the community, and I wouldn't want anyone who still supports the new owner here to also be on the new "FREESTEEM." If I decide to move, I leave one to go to another. But fomo seems to trump ethics in many places.
