I’m not sure anyone here is in denial we are a fork of Steem.

No denial, it is just a phrase. And the reason for that is we still have the same people that were on Steem in Hive right now. Which means we might be looking forward to seeing most of the things that tire down Steem spring up now such as Flag/Downvote war, Abuse of Stake etc

But like you said; “Mistakes are just walkways. The only way to not make the same mistake is to keep walking forward, keep failing forward.” Mistake is bound to happen but ensure to keep moving forward. I like the vibe. 💪🏽
