Dear @tristancarx,
@f3nix writing here. I am very proud that you are part of our community of writers, the Bananafish. Your words remind me of all the values we stand for and are also a great source of inspiration (being you the official community inspirer we couldn't expect anything different!). I might write lot of things but I want to say that we are way bigger than this Steemit, we are humans with projects and passion and flesh and blood and what we have here is just a tool to express ourselves, not more not less. Let's not let a simple medium to take our humanity, our true selves, away for the sake of another shitty hierarchic and pyramidal order. We have enough of them in real life. What did @josephsavage create? A way to express solidarity and a hope of growth even for those that don't own to a golden whale's circlejerk. The Bananafish used and uses the @steembasicincome for a little of self-funding. So far, during all the account's existence, we just distributed upvotes and rewards between writers, thanks to our many contests. We created loads of good content with our fiction stories and poetry. Are we abusing of the platform? I don't think so. Yet, there's this self proclaimed hero that believes we need a flag. Go on, we don't give a shit because you know what? A story, a poetry, any expression of art and humanity lives beyond your little thinking and also beyond this simple box called Steemit. Bravo, Tristan. It's a great lesson of freedom for all of us what you did today. Looking at our wallet, we are broke at the Bananafish. Do we care? Not really, we're not greedy bastards like others. We'll find a way like we always did with the help of many to let the creativity flow once more and who cares about these flags. Hope you like my drawing.. always forward together and hoist the Bananafish colors high! (And now fuckit I'm also voting myself because every cent is precious for us and for the peeps to whom we will distribute them).
Told you, @f3nix. I love this community and those that come to step on it are in for fight!
I'm so happy to be with you guys as it is one place that keeps me coming back. We had our Quest in the Realms, which bombed money-wise (haha). That was my first time working with a community of people to produce something. It will always hold a special place in my heart so I must thank you, @f3nix, for creating the space where we strive to work together as a community.
Your picture is awesome.
Everyone joining and hosting a contest, owning or giving SBI or up voting in a circle is hunted for. CCC (@team-ccc) is a very small community investing in newbies. Each contest is hosted by a little fish and the prizes are paid by them too and they all are victim now.
This guy has over 10 accounts and tickets for 2000+ more accounts and is pissed he can no longer use his bid not. Revenge on the little fish is a fast and easy way to reduce the group of active members (and fill the steemit pool).

I can just add that we don't vote in a circle. We upvote the artistic production of everyone participating in our initiatives and also we selfvote because of funding reasons. This community account gives 100% for the members of our open community. We have been helped by witnesses because we create real content and not shitposts, but at the moment the money to run it come exclusively from @f3nix (because I enjoy) + there are the delegations of our core members (because they enjoy too). Everyone else get free steem and upvotes.
@bananafish I believe you but if it comes to it I I it et in a circle if my circle is a common tag like #freewrite #cc #ccc #appics, etc. If it comes to the downvoter he will make more rules to downvote because he can. It would be a great gesture if he started to upvote good content too. Thanks for commenting. I wish you a great day nd hope more will join and start writing. 💕
