RE: 🚨 Someone Stole My Writing Here and Reposted It Elsewhere 🚨
I totally get it that personal opinions can be heavily tilted at times. With issues like this, it's much like a court case: even after a verdict of guilty or innocent, no one truly knows the entire truth, let alone in a situation like this.
What's more, as a new and low-level user, what am I supposed to do when they drop such a bomb in my lap with remarks like that? Take sides? I wasn't there, and that was so long ago. I'm neutral, and neither side has harmed me personally, though now I've had my own bad experience on PeakD. If there's a bad actor there, then what? Do I just direct my anger at the site itself?
I wish I could give you advice about Hive (PeakD), but I haven't used it since the fork, so I'm totally out of touch. There are definitely some people who continued to use both chains, but I don't know how common that is or how successful they are.
I know of at least one person who has continued posting unique content on each platform, and I know of some others who post duplicate copies of the same posts on both platforms. In general, I think the person posting unique content in both places probably gets more voting support (but that could be wrong). That strategy is definitely more likely to protect you from downvotes from hivewatchers and others.
Personally, I don't think you should be forced to take sides, and I think most people on Steem would agree. On Hive, I think there are probably still some people who would pressure you to choose - as you're already starting to see. Some people here have actually been driven away from Hive by that sort of toxicity.
Anyway, at least I'm glad that the community over there addressed the post that had been copied from you.
You know, I actually had a moment like that recently – I accidentally reposted something from Steem. Thankfully, no one called me out, but I figured it was best to amend the post since we can't just delete them. These days, I'm really trying to post unique content on each platform, even though I don't really know many people there. A friend on Steemit even delegated some Hive Power to me, so I'm mostly just doing prompts and Actifit posts over there. Nothing too elaborate, and honestly, not many readers or comments yet either.
