Open letter to communities and witnesses : A few things to say about steemit before maybe saying goodbye

in #openletter4 years ago (edited)

First of all, this is not aimed at any specific community or person. Many times someone with a lot of influence and power wrote an open letter to seek support, open our eyes, unite us to defend ourselves as a community, and all those other things that always involved "community".

Before you get angry reading this, or that you probably won't even finish it, I think that as part of this blockchain, even though I'm not a witness, even though I'm not a community leader but a simple user with the illusion of really getting the different communities together, I tell you that I also have a voice, I don't have any power to bring this to the trends and have the different people listen to me (read me).

Above all I have respect for each one of you, and I am referring to the leaders, those who have the power to influence us and motivate us to make decisions together, as they always write in their publications "united as a community".

I'm sorry, you may be wondering why I put the word community and union in quotes, and the truth is that for a long time I have been carrying a great disappointment, but especially today when I take the time to digest all the things I see, it hurts me more. Literally this morning when I woke up I cried from the sadness because I feel that all this is not fair.

There are many times that I wanted to convince myself that we could really be a community that works together, each one with its own objectives, but always supporting each other as we did when we gave an opportunity to the new window called "hiv..." I don't know if I can say it, I can end up mute of steemit, surely not, because I repeat, I am a person also with a voice, but today and for a long time I am nobody before those who have the real power.

I'm not going to stop and say the things that are going on, I think you each know what you're doing, and I'm telling you, you're doing it very badly. Especially the leaders, those who always use the word community in bad times, but in good times forget about us. Even if you stop here to comment or maybe to give me a negative vote, the truth will never escape.

The bounty pool has become a disaster, and it's for the benefit of people selected to those in power. Once again those who are in a neutral position but who have a talent and want to keep trying to be at home and see how it goes are simply used and discarded.

His actions in declaring war on someone who has done things wrong, and I mean Justin Sun and his allies, also affect us. Before all of this happened, and I mean what my eyes are seeing, I thought to myself, "Surely those who have power will help small communities, will support small users, will give their last breath and support before saying goodbye for standing tall. And what you see, it's just the opposite, it breaks the standards of moral abuse. Because when you involve the community in your speeches, and then forget about it, it is simply an abuse of your influence.

I really regret what is happening with the frozen accounts, I really feel bad to see that my steemit house, my steem world, is in a constant confrontation of individual and collective interests, but not community ones, you could never call it a community thing.

I can understand that things were done that were inevitable in the minds of some, and that many agreed to carry out such actions. But once again I say and ask ... why do you forget that important element of community?

I also come back and repeat, I am nobody to you, I don't have millions of sp in my wallet, I cannot support my community in any other way than to offering my services as a curator in the different communities I have been and am still in.

But I can state a truth, roadstories is part of that community to which you spoke, you wrote an open letter. He is the same guy who surely went to your private messenger service in disagreement to ask you for support, not for him, but for the community in general, to ask you for a contribution from those millions of sp that you have and that maybe in my perception could give an extra use for the community.

But perhaps I lacked much more, because I am not a computer engineer, I do not know how to make an application with value, I cannot only make a project with the value before your eyes that is not to enter to each one of the publications, great works with enormous effort that many of us make and to value it with your support, one that I never had.

I am the same guy who also wanted to be in the trends one day, who felt jealous and now feels anger for always seeing the same people in trends with a content that I will not criticize, you are in your right as people of great influence and as investors... but, where are my rights too? 2 years and several months have passed, I have never been able to have a post at more than $100, it would be a dream, wouldn't it?

I am the same roadstory that is no more than a simple user that lives in Venezuela, specifically in a neighborhood where there is no signal for the phones and much less for the internet, but that in spite of everything was always at the service of the communities and for the communities as a curator, moderator, assistant, even a friend.

Many people who don't know me will think I'm crazy, but what they don't know is that many people like me, who have no power at all, also have the same feeling hidden inside them, of feeling lost, disappointed, abandoned, displaced every time they see the reality of the blockchain. I can perhaps do thousands and thousands of redactions to get vote after vote, but I must remember that steemit or hiv.... it is not just me, I cannot greet someone as a good person and have bad actions in the blockchain, I simply cannot, but do not feel that I am calling you hypocrites, it is not that, and if it were so do not feel offended to someone foolish who has no power, only a voice that the leaders have never paid attention.

I agree that we should have done something, when we saw that our house was living downstairs, but can you really say or affirm that our house was not already cracked?

By the way before I go on, you probably don't know, it's probably something very obvious, but I don't speak English, I use a translator and I support myself with the daily practical knowledge I have when talking to the community, with the people behind those usernames. With dedicated people who love this world because they can do something that the real world may not allow them to do, and who therefore get the food they put in their mouths every day.

So...how can I not feel pain for everything that happens?

Why is it that even though you have a project and you vote for publications, I feel like you're still leaving us behind?

and finally, although I still have many things to say...

Why do I feel that you don't listen to me when I have the right to be heard? Could it be that really because I'm a user I'm just that... a machine to produce content, to wait 50/50 to support and value you, and to think every time I'll do it later to ensure a tiny vote compared to you that leads me nowhere.

I miss things when there was 70/30, not because I earned more, but because I saw the abuses as an excuse to say "they deserve it because in a way they support us".

Please do not feel offended, these are humble words, maybe it is a wrong thought that I should take out of my inside, because really when I see the end of a house that gave me many things, is when I pay more attention to see all the cracks inside it.

And now I enter a new house, where I begin to see the same cracks. I am part of it and I want to change, will you do it?

Maybe I should say goodbye to you, Steem, but in a very bitter way.

You have made a description of the two blockchains in a single publication, I see the same injustices in both, as a project I have sought help in both because a lot of friends left and I would like to continue sharing but you know? no one responded to my requests or rudeness was bait with this humble project, here in Steemit I see how in addition to making many mistakes now put in bidding some delegations instead of using criteria and study the best and most supportive options and worst of all is that they offer for a month, yes a month. ... thieves, swindlers and those who burst the rewards pool are already waiting to use their charming snakes to receive that delegation and continue plundering the bounties, or they will demand a fee for giving you their vote thanks to an advantageous delegation, or demand a fee for publishing in their community to see if you get their vote, I have seen this in those who left and those who stay. There I see experience among those who are in charge and no intention of any project growing if it is not from their circle, here I see inexperience among those who are in charge and no intention of being advised by those who might know about this. But it doesn't matter, nobody will read us and I write to you as a project and not as a friend, you will have already see that.

Has hecho una descripción de las dos blockchain en una sola publicación, veo las mismas injusticias en ambas, como proyecto he buscado ayudas en ambas porque a una se fueron muchos amigos y me gustaría seguir compartiendo pero ¿sabes? nadie respondió a mis solicitudes o la grosería se cebó con este humilde proyecto, aquí en Steemit veo como además de cometer muchos errores ahora ponen en puja unas delegaciones en lugar de usar criterio y estudiar las opciones mejores y más solidarias y lo peor de todo es que las ofertan por un mes, sí un mes... ladrones, timadores y los que reventaron la piscina de recompensas ya están pendientes de usar sus serpientes encantadoras para recibir esa delegación y seguir expoliando las recompensas, o exigirán una tasa por darte su voto gracias a una delegación ventajosa, o exigir una tasa por publicar en su comunidad a ver si te llega su voto, eso lo he visto en los que se fueron y en los que se quedan. Allí veo experiencia entre los que mandan y 0 intención de que algún proyecto crezca si no es de su círculo, aquí veo inexperiencia entre los que mandan y 0 intención de dejarse aconsejar por los que puedan saber de esto. Pero da igual, nadie nos leerá y te escribo como proyecto y no como amigo, de eso ya te habrás dado cuenta.
