From my perspective, this downvote you received on this post is more an antagonization than a complete censorship.
I mean, if your intention is to censor a user and you had the stake and the accounts, wouldn't you downvote them until their reputation is in the minus and their posts are muted for the average person to see?
The fact that this hasn't happened means the power is still somewhat balanced on both sides.
Keep posting - keep going, there is no need to submit to a tyrant or an anti-truther cartel on Hive (who knows really) - engage in dialogue where possible and remember the key intention - to make great quality content that assists in the awakening of humanity.
As long as your content is still getting air time - there is still hope.
For now Hive (although having schizophrenic episodes) is still a haven for truthers and is still largely resistant to censorship.
Reputation is only lowered from downvotes if the downvoter has a higher reputation than the recipient. Thankfully, the community has chosen to hold many of those being downvoted in a position of higher respect than the downvoters currently, so accounts cannot so easily be trashed.
Thanks for the explanation. Excuse my ignorance on the issue.
