Well, what a perfect conundrum of a post! There you are with a busted nose — ouch! — and now upvoting the post feels a little bit like "liking" the post... which just feels plain wrong on some level. So well done, for that!

Friend of ours actually had to have her nose "re-broken" (at 38!) because of the many times she'd had it broken as a varsity volleyball player in both high school and college. Nothing quite like a spiked volleyball to the face to mess things up. Anyway, the repeated break-heal-break cycles built up enough inner scar tissue that it was causing a serious sleep apnea.

As for people talking smack about Steemit... I try to remember that we have a giant contingent of "money for nothing nomads" who drift from one new site to another in search of... well... money for nothing, and anything that impedes their scheming will cause them to jump ship. I guess I don't take it personally because they've been doing it since long before there was Steemit, and long before there were blockchains. "Please like and vote and follow me" is probably a 20-year old phrase... no less annoying now than it was then. And not likely to vanish.

I get that there are those who feel like Steemit turned its back on the original ideal of being a "social content platform" and instead seems more like a "proving ground for app development" for the Steem blockchain. And even if I see myself as a Steemit "loyalist," things like the DLive departure was a bit of a sour note.

But what do I know? I'm just a CAT!
