RE: I made the mistake of voicing my concerns about the upcoming hardfork.

If you do shut down @cheetah, please either open source the software or detail the methodology you use for it.

Best of luck weathering the storm 😐 I think you're a very valuable witness.

It's an interesting question about giving the project to someone else. I spent so many months improving the logic, gauging response, tweaking code, and so on. Hundreds and hundreds of hours.

To be kicked out and to have to give all that work to someone else to run simply because I, myself, am no longer valuable to the community, but the bot is?

Seems like a giant kick in the teeth. Sounds to me like an oligarch stifling out opposing parties by taking what they have. Reminds me of Tesla and Edison.

I'm not sure where you're directing that but I hope it's not at me 😨

What I'm saying is simple: open source it if you want it to have a life beyond you, come rain or shine. I think the perspective you've outlined relies on a feeling of competition which I do not see regarding @cheetah.

Not you, the current situation! My point is that cheetah is my pet. It's a package deal. I'm not going to allow Steemit to kick me out but keep her.
