I saw that post and read some comments there. Everyone has a point where they can't tolerate the circumstance anymore.
I am not trapped by this place. I have no where to go. I talk to people here more regularly than elsewhere (with the exception of a few) - and I feel as though, even with the voices that have fallen silent here, there are many that still scream.
We must ensure that hive doesn't become a chamber full of echoed screams. Hopefully we can learn from other platforms.
I have been on lots of platforms and run my own blogs. Hive gives me the best engagement despite being tiny.
I never get any engagement on my photography website, mainly because wordpress is a disaster, and comments there are usually spam. I am still impressed everyday, that even without any captchas or "select the motorbike lampposts" how little real spam we get on hive.
