I SELF-CENSORED.
I'm doing that right now by being careful how I comment on this post. I had an argument about self-censorship, and how it affects content, with one of our boy kings. That argument seems to have knocked me out of curation rings, big ones. In perpetuity it seems, too. Not a good look for Hive, but also not a good reason for me to flee altogether. Hive is just another of our made up worlds. We can fashion as we will. I don't think it has to be perfect, humanity and all.
I am grateful blurt exists because I can get info there that is no longer being posted here, except by accounts that either tolerate the downvotes (might even wear them proudly), or burn or decline their rewards. Kenny's banner does tell it truly. Here's a little innovation on his words: woe be to those who post criticism of hive anywhere on planet earth, especially blurt. Ya gotta watch your back, even there.
Anyhoo, you have my support in whatever you choose to do.
Slowly everyone is getting Demonetized and Downvoted on Hive.
