Looking for the light?

This recent HF had many people up in arms and being pretty critical about the platform.
I was personally unable to post and like many I was not happy 😡

But I decided that I needed to cool my jets before my head exploded 🤯

I had reason mind you to be upset, I couldn’t post, I could comment and I couldn’t transfer.
I felt muted, I felt like the powers that be orchestrated a Minnow blackout

But hey, that’s just frustration talking. No one got up that day and said, let’s figure out how to screw over two thirds of the people on the platform and piss them off enough that they might quit.

In reality, it’s much more likely that it the law of unintended consequences coming to play here.
They were making changes to help with spammers, scalability and other stuff: (insert your reason here.).

These changes were bitter pills, meant to make us stronger for the trials and tribulations to come.
They hurt, we didn’t die, hopefully we are now stronger.

We are all part of an amazing social media and cryptocurrency experiment. Hell this whole Bitcoin cryptocurrency thing is an experiment and very risky business.
We chose to jump on this horse and take it for a ride, so we need to buckle up, hunker down and figure out how to steer.

So I am gonna stop 🌧 ng on this parade and start appreciating its good things, maximizing those, recognizing and acknowledging it’s short comings and try to minimize the effect of those, because that’s the positive stuff I can do to make this place better. Please join me.
