I can testify to this:

I agree, I don't think everyone who stuck with Steemit had ill intent.

Steemit is my first entrance into real blockchain space, hence, I feel glued to it even when most of my posts there earns nothing most days.

I knew steemit was a downward spiral after my wife @goodysam made an introduction post a couple of weeks ago and got no warm welcome unlike here on Hive.

I wish the users of the two blockchains well because I believe in the principle of candle 🕯️ lights, it looses nothing lighting other candles.
