@fuzzyvest I wanna be clear:

In china and russia when "the uncle" is prohibiting something, it is stated as something akin to "various reasons."

BTW: "the uncle = the man"
2nd BTW: In China, it's Xi daddy "xi baba"

I don't blame you or anyone for their first reactions to this ,but I strongly encourage each of you to dig deeply into this and attempt to learn as much as you can about the contexts within which these sites will operate. It is not the same as our context.

there are plenty of ways that smart people in steemits community (or even these proposing cloners could build that would empower the community to all be able to read eachothers content regardless of spoken language. Instead we will be divided.

Now you have to speak English if you want to be heard and read on Steemit. Russian-speaking community will never be bigger than English-speaking community. However, Golos could be self-sufficient as there are several hundred millions of people for whom Russian is a native language.
