There will be no Blurting for me, thank you

When you see some type of shit in crypto space, you really have to ask what the actual fuck. I don't get the motive behind this new fork of Steem but I have to say that it seems very sketchy and very poorly done. I mean they practically copy and pasted Steem with the only change being the name and that ridiculous logo.

I still can't make any sense as to why this fork was formed considering that it is basically Steem, and I mean, completely the same. Literally everything stays the same over there, bar the fact that the trending page is totally in Korean, filled with spammy bots or maybe I have a computer virus.

I was initially planning to dump all my tokens from the airdrop whenever it gets listed but as @trumpman pointed out here, there might be some shady shit going on in the background with regards to your keys.

As far as I can tell, this is a fork that is as pointless as bearshares was and will dissipate into nothingness in the nearest future. If you're brave enough to log into the platform with your keys, then go ahead and check it out. For now, I'll be an external observer, waiting to see if you guineapigs survive.

Well it might actually be the guys on steem responsible for owning this place by all means. It's a huge copy and paste, my my!

You know. It is exactly the same thing as Steem, and as far as I can tell, it is pointless.

You should never login to any Hive/Steem/Blurt/Zapata/whatever website using any password.

Instead, you should use Keychain to sign your transactions for you. Blurt.world is integrated with the Steem Keychain browser extension. Your passwords never leave your browser.

You can log with Steem-Engine, and you don't need to log directly on their website.

Well, it's basically supposed to be Steem without the downvotes as I understand it...

As far as I can tell, they have made themselves victims of "the dilution problem" before they even are getting off the ground...

Weku was basically a copy of Steemit done by people thinking they could do better because of the hardfork issues. Bearshares then was a copy of Weku done by people who were pissed off that they couldn't run their scams. So you have a copy-of-a-copy.

It's like photocopies... every time you make another copy of a copy, the image sharpness dilutes. With social sites/groups, the dilution happens in the form of fewer features on one end (because the tech crews are generally smaller and smaller) and fewer users on the other end as the number of users willing to follow become fewer and fewer.

It may get up and running (Bearshares still is...) and will have a small dedicated core of 50-100 users who are amassing HUGE numbers of tokens... each of which will have a value of about $0.00000001. Blog for 3 months, and cash in your tokens for $0.17, have a nice day!

The fact that Hive worked as a spin-off still amazes me, but I'm guessing because we had such a high-profile defined common enemy, not just some disgruntled developers AND the public press in support, it worked.

Perfectly summarised I must say. I learnt that they're basically Steemit but without downvotes, so their motive is to "take things back in time".

I think one telling factor with Hive, which you pointed out, is that there was mass movement. I suspect that in years to come, Steem might actually look like it is a copy of Hive.
