How was your experience at Blurt?

Fantastic at first. I transferred my Steem FAQ to the Blurt FAQ and had a direct connection to a nice guy from the Blurt Foundation. I was a witness on a Raspberry minicomputer and very happy. The coin was low but the community was OK. One day the situation got ugly. I don't want to talk about it. An irrational war broke out and all German participants voted me out as a witness because a German whale demanded it. Now you know, why I am so shy today.

why I am so shy today.

Are you though?

Of course not. That's how I was as a child. Until I was about 20 years old, I had a terrible inferiority complex. Today, at 72, I am mature enough to recognize a lack of integrity and greed. Since my failure on Blurt, there have been some nasty characters on Steem that I simply don't pay any attention to anymore. The only stupid thing is that I forget a lot of things, don't actually hold grudges, and make mistakes myself, like everyone else. Some of the traitors will probably get another vote from me today by accident.

But those who I noticed as the biggest disappointments back then will probably never be "friends" of mine again. They are the ones who were intelligent enough to keep the originator of the argument in check and appeal to reason, instead of following him uncritically out of greed and shamefully letting me down. A member of the Blurt Foundation even officially apologized to me for following the originator of the argument. To date, not a single apology has come from the German community. They all acted as if they weren't there.

You can't move the world with people like that, let alone a blockchain. They are completely pointless existences for community projects. Well, and since then I haven't taken part in any community projects anymore and DU is the only community I still show up in because the management has been taken over by a very honest lady who of course makes mistakes, but at least they are intelligent mistakes and not as stupid as the mistake that broke the Germans' necks on the Blurt. The whale in question has at least withdrawn from the blockchains in shame. At least he realized what a mess he had caused with his hubris.
