in order to stop the attacks and milking on this blockchain, but there are way more effective and at the same time less harmful possibilities available

Yes. It's called a 'downvote.' A downvote is the tool everyone here can use to help prevent abuse. A tool. Not a belief. Saying you want to combat abuse but don't believe in downvotes is like saying you want to pound nails but don't believe in hammers.

There was no need for a softfork when the tools required for the job have been in existence for four years.

There were people here who were treated poorly for using their downvotes. If I follow this 'nationalistic' narrative I see on Steem so much, you'd call those people 'Hivers.' The ones who were forced to leave Steem. The ones who now, when coming here to visit and socialize often get told to leave.

Block users who are really harming good Steemians and who are only here to troll people

That'll be another disaster. If someone doesn't agree with this comment now, and combine that with the fact I prefer to post my work on Hive, does that make me a troll by default and therefor I should be blocked? Asking a central authority or a panel of censors to define these rules of who gets to go and who gets to stay is a terrible idea.

That list of excluded accounts is an embarrassment to this platform, especially when there are hundreds of other accounts actively milking the reward pool now, and they've been doing it for months if not years. That list PROVES the restrictions put in place had nothing to do with actual reward pool abuse. And it's sad now if someone wants to post on both platforms, they will be labelled a 'milker' and shunned from this community.

Right now, Steem is in a sad state. I have my doubts it can be repaired. Especially now with things like 'nationalism' creeping in. Anyone is welcome on Hive. If they're abusing the reward pool, that work gets downvoted.
