Hello Jayson. As someone who's been on blockchain for less than a week and only been on hive, the steemit incident and rivalry among other platforms seemed a lot when I first heard about it, although not surprising. We're humans after all.
I'm glad that you guys are into collaborating. From a social perspective, it should be more beneficial to everyone.

I hope you'll keep writing on hive. I'm sure new users like me has a lot to learn from you.
