Hey buddy! It has been more than a year, eh? I apologize, I'm not always good with names. What is your username at Voice? I'll add your blog there to my blog's following list; in case you someday want to syndicate your articles there, too.
Methinks that more people who use cannabis would probably like Voice more if the promotion of cannabis wasn't fucking prohibited there! I couldn't believe it when I read that on its Ground Rules page.
Update: Since I syndicated my article at Voice, a person from Voice replied and basically said it is only that promoting the commercial sale of cannabis is prohibited at Voice for legal reasons, but that anything posted there to promote cannabis culture is not prohibited—and that they are now going to update their Ground Rules to better communicate that.
I hope to post my articles at Hive, in part because Hive in being a censorship-resistant decentralized blockchain is a bona fide archive. The future of blogging is decentralized, especially now that there is so much censorship at the Big Tech social media publishers—including their having colluded to cancel Parler.
That is why methinks everybody should consider syndicating their articles on as many platforms as possible, and that every article should firstly be posted at Hive—along with the inclusion of its Hive link on whichever other platforms they syndicate their article on (as I did on my blog at Voice), in part to help grow the community at Hive.
Methinks the idea of "Hive as an Archive" is a tremendous selling point for a greater adoption of the Hive blockchain, though it is probably so that not everybody at Hive does necessarily like that idea. Some people want to be centralized at Hive, or at Voice, or whatever. But the future is decentralized.
When Parler was Death Star'd by the Darth Vaders of Big Tech, how horrible that must of been for all of those millions of people who had spent many years of their life posting their content there. Genocide isn't "only" the murder of an entire people; genocide is also defined as the destruction of an entire culture.
The idea of Hive as an archive can help everybody to preserve their culture, no matter what their culture is. It is often said that "history is written by the victors", but shouldn't history be written by historians?

Yeah it is a shame the way things are going. What’s ever more concerning, people are cheering on big tech to censor people.
I am Jonathan Zane Phillips over there I believe. Been so long I forgot.
Hey Jon, I found your blog there.
Sadly, that cheering of censorship is symptomatic of their small-mindedness. Methinks the more it happens that cannabis and other mind-expanding plants and mushrooms are legalized, the less censorship in society there will probably be.
