I hardly write about the happenings on the hive, but I think I need to contribute my quota to the recent tool designed by @arcange, and his decisions. I remembered the day we all had a sleepless night on a radio channel trying to figure out how we could get the hell out of steem. It was a long discussion, and if you ask me why this involved many people, I would say it's because the aim was to create a community free of censorship.
Yes! It worked. a community was forked out of steem and not only that, Hive got listed on many exchanges with the help of many people especially @justineh. Now, we have a community of ours and we are all glad to be a part of the success.

If we call Hive a community, where decisions are taken with the consent of the general masses, then what could inspire a single person to go ahead and make a decision at the detriment of others? @theycallmedan always defines hive as a place where you, I, and others have a say on the platform. I'm not a fan of any fucking
whale here. If anyone votes my post, fine, I will appreciate it, and if it turns the other way round, it's all good with me. Honestly, I didn't expect this kind of decision from an inner man. If this action is coming from steem, I swear. I won't have anything to say to it, because we've seen things worse than that.
Are you telling me that the steem community hasn't noticed the double posting? Of course, they have, but maybe they never see it as an issue or probably6 part of their future agenda. @arcange, your decision is very awkward and lacks scrutiny before implementing. Don't tell me you are trying to act like a nice guy, by fighting for ......................

I don't even understand who you are fighting for. Steem or hive? Because I believe that more than 80% of the people on the blacklist are very much more loyal to the hive. They might be silent, but they pledge their allegiance more to hive than steem, so if you are blacklisting that amount of people, who are you fighting for? See, I understand more about double posting. In fact, the first time I discovered it, I was like, is this right? But even then I couldn't challenge the action, and you know why? It's because we, the hivians are the one trespassing? Most people you see posting on both hive and steem pay more of their allegiance to the hive. There is no statistics to prove this, but common sense can do the math.

When I was on utopian, anything like double posting is classified as plagiarism even if it's your work. However, if you post it first on utopian and later post it on another platform maybe after a moderator has verified or rejected/rate your post, you are safe. This was the utopian way because it is a centralized system run by Diego Pucci and the community managers. Who is running the hive? Witnesses? Yes! They are doing a great job, but the foundation of the hive wasn't placed on the shoulder of some set of people, but on all then steemians who supported the drive that leads to the fuck some months back.

### There are ways of doing things. I think @arcange need some brain prodding

I'm sure you are not the first person seeing the double posting. If you are the first person calling others' attention to it. it's because you care about the blockchain, but you should have done it the right way.
I know you would ask what the right way should be, and straight this is it. Table the matter before some people in your cabal, and come up with a congress that will involve the community members to deliberate on the double posting. Why didn't the fork take place without having a unanimous voice first? It's because unity and a platform free of censorship is needed.

If that were put into consideration, I think this matter would have been addressed peacefully without any form of matters arising. Don't forget that this is a community we all created. No matter how little, we all sacrifice our time to post on twitter, come up with ideas, convince our friends, and more.

### I'm not proposing this because I'm in the blacklist. You won't find me there if you check from January to December, except if there is a bug or manipulation.

My reason for proposing this is for justice. No one gives @arcange the leadership of blacklisting people posting on both hive and steem. Whether he called it milk or butter, It's really none of our business. If there is going to be anything like this, no one should be put in the dark. There should have been a prior notification and discussions before anything like that should be done. This is a call by the community for @arcange tool to be ineffective on the hive blockchain until the issue is resolved by the whole community. Please if you support this course, let's talk about the date a radio show will be held concerning this. You can suggest in the comment section, and a time and date will be concluded.

Steem should be left to decide the double posting, and if we are going to do that, let's do it the right way? In conclusion, if this issue is left untackled, more people with like minds will slap us till we go deaf, and hive will be a story for the gods.
