Yep! There are very few witness that own their own hardware (witness, seed, or RPC node, if they even have one) rather than rent it from a 3rd party. It's not a big talking point, but it has some interesting security implications. Akin to "not your keys not your coins", I'd argue "not your hardware not your data". And in this case, that data could be witness signing keys.
I've been scaling out and modifying my infrastructure quite a bit recently. A lot of applications have moved over to avoid reliance on Steemit -- I know Steemmonsters and Busy are two big examples. Further, in the Chinese community api.steemit.com seems to be actually blocked -- anyx.io is a portal to them.
I'm more of a reader than a writer in most things. I do read everything in that slack, though I only usually write something if it's important. There's a lot of noise and not-useful arguing in that slack.
I don't think participation in a closed-door slack is a very good metric anyways.
Well, the participation needs to be somewhere and it isn't on chain. So at this point, that closed door Slack is a good indicator of personal commitment and involved into actually helping to decide on these issues that have been lingering for years.
Haha says the guy who doesn't post on the steem blockchain for months but comes out of hiding to post on this post and one other.
You're all good @anyx it's funny he's the one talking about participation.
Cheetah alone was a huge contribution that was very welcomed by those of us that used to manually try to "verify" users and posts in the early days. Righteous bro afaik.
He runs a full node and hivemind node using his own hardware (helps in decentralization). Probably also behind @cheetah.

I use your node too. Thank you kindly for it.
Own hardware? He will now get a vote from me.
Yeah. Have a look https://steemit.com/steem/@anyx/announcing-https-anyx-io-a-public-high-performance-full-api.

Does not participate in the Steemit slack

Participation can also be private rather than public. I message lots of people directly, as I prefer 1:1 conversations.
Just because I don't shout the loudest or the most in public doesn't mean I'm not doing anything.
