Every year I go away for awhile and I completely disconnect from the internet, and damn near everything else.

Coming back online often feels like entering a new world or foreign country and you don't speak the language. I was incredibly excited to come back and in a stellar mood as well. To make a long story short, it didn't take long to discover some drama around here. Someone took it upon themselves to mention me in a bashing session. Followed that notification and the trail of breadcrumbs. Wasn't impressed with what I saw. Even here in this fucking comment section I'm being treated like I'm in support of something that I wasn't even around to see. Being accused of all kinds of bullshit and I wasn't even around to be a part of it.

Last time you and I spoke was probably back in July. Was I in support of a few issues around here and bashing you folks? No. I spent several hours and a few days trying to help sort things out, providing a good healthy dose of honesty, and not putting up with any bullshit, because I wanted some problems solved once and for all.

I just found out about this new tribe from this post after someone I follow reblogged it. So here's the 'solution' but unfortunately I've a feeling it'll be a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Hive, and the decentralized nature of Hive, now provides members with a platform free of downvotes. It exactly what they fucking wanted. But I doubt they'll make the adjustment, put the problems in the past, and move forward. There's literally no excuse now to be out there bashing the community and pretending to be suppressed. There were second layer options the entire time but those were ignored as well.

These second layer tokens, it's still Hive. If HIVE is the dollar, these tokens are like the pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. They can earn on Hive. They can covert their pennies into dollars if they want. They can convert their efforts into having a say in governance. All these choices are on the table and available to everyone. But like I said in that comment, you can make a million changes, but you can't change the people. They'll continue on bashing.

So all this combined and having my heart ripped out of my chest for no good reason at all makes it damn near impossible to want to 'create' something. My head's not in the right place now. Maybe in the new year. I want to get back into it but... blah...
