RE: Digital Freedom and Blockchain: how to secure your rights online

I get the notion you're confused about what censorship is.

Well blocktivity.info has delisted Hive without notice, even though it’s one of the most active blockchains in the world, and Blurt is a key sponsor of that site.

Getting the hive token delisted is not censorship. Don't know how you came up to that conclusion.

Censorship as u say is not on hive but on the apps. Ur gripe is with the apps, not hive in general. Most of them don’t have sophisticated trending algorithms.

If I could DV you untill your rep is to 0 or below that you'll be shadow censored which is a form of censorship that hides your posts from being seen. That is censorship. And it occurs across the board. Yes hive in general. It's not about the algorithm. And it isn't just on apps.

Also by your logic if u don’t upvote a blog enough on Blurt u are also censoring them.

Not even close to what I was saying. No one is being censored on blurt even if you don't recieve an upvote. Everything is clearly visible and open. No shadow bans. Get your facts straight.

Again, those DV’s don’t affect the trending algo on 3Speak and several other apps on hive. So ur argument only applies to apps that integrate trending based on reputation and rewards. 3speaks trending algo is not affected by those. So how can hive be a censorship mechanism if 3Speak can not censor based on those criteria??

Not being voted on blurt has the same affect as being down voted on hive. U just don’t show up on many of the trending algos. Hopefully blurt apps don’t run their trending algos based on votes, as I’m generally opposed to that

But it can’t hide content on 3Speak and 3Speak is using hive, as much as any other platform is using hive. Can u explain that to me? As to me trending feed on 3Speak is better than trending feed on peakd. Both trending feeds use hive

Erm no it doesn’t. It entirely depends on which trending algo the front end uses. U can’t be censored on hive. Although with your logic, if u didn’t get voted on blurt u too were censored

Because trending feeds can and are built based on other factors than votes, such as traffic levels, interaction levels, shares, comments, etc. u don’t need to built votes into trending at all

No, you have to keep saying a form of censorship, because it's not actually censorship.

No it isn't. Redacting is a form of censorship. Deleting is a form of censorship. So-called 'shadow banning' is a form of volume control.

Free speech is about expressing yourself without impediment or obstacle, it's not about having a guaranteed audience.

When downvotes stop you from posting to the blockchain, you'll have an argument. Until then, it just looks like you're mad that people don't want to listen.
