Code and updates and all that geek stuff is not my gig at all so I generally shut the fuck up about all that because I don’t understand it. And I might go speeding out of control and crash into something.<\/h2>\n

But this post by @reggaemuffin<\/a> – https:\/\/steemit.com\/witness-update\/@reggaemuffin\/witness-statement-for-reggaemuffin-proposing-hardfork-adoption-requirements<\/a> Got me thinking.<\/p>\n

Cool logo, I wonder if he’s a rastageek?<\/p>\n

On Steemit we seem to have developed a culture in which really long posts with zillions of lines of typing are highly valued.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Meanwhile short but on to it posts are widely read but considered “shitposts” because the author didn’t spend two days writing them. We are not Twitter – and fair enough, Twitter is a bunch of retarded censored bullshit that could soon be replaced by GAB.<\/p>\n

In my two+ years on Steemit I’ve only really seen two hardforks – 19 which went well, and 20 which went fairly badly. So before my time there were 18 other much smaller hardforks.<\/p>\n

Because I want to be able to log straight into five different Steemit accounts on my computer, I use five browsers (Firefox, Opera, Torch, Vivaldi, and Chrome) and pretty much every day one of then seems to want to do an update.<\/p>\n

About two years ago Firefox (my favourite browser) did an update that fucked it completely so I stopped using it. And then about six months ago they did an update that made it the best browser ever, no contest, so I went back.<\/p>\n

Minor updates can be an irritation, but maybe they are a safer option than trying to change everything in one go. After hardfork 20 I don’t think anyone is hanging out for another hardfork, so this idea may sink without trace.<\/p>\n

But here is my two cents worth (well actually I don’t have two cents anymore) – stop trying to write the ultimate Steemit post, or the ultimate hardfork – and just stick to one idea at a time.<\/p>\n

Following my own advice, I’m going to try doing that with my own posts. And that is it – my idea for this post – do more SHITFORKS.<\/p>\n

Now you are talking. Get down to my level, more pictures and less words. I started out reading comic books and that worked well. \ud83d\ude42
