Hey Justin, I just want to say thanks for changing the power down to 4 weeks! I didn't think I'd be able to dump ANY of my steem before you f'ed everything up.
Thanks to you you I've recovered way more than expected.
AND got a much stronger community out of it!
You just may be the best thing that's happened to us since I signed up.
I would have been powered down soon anyway, but this speeds it up a little. Get your Steem before the value plummets. We need to do all we can to make Hive the more attractive platform.
I don't I know about you but I came to steem for its promise of censorship resistance. Yes with the recent chaos lots of stuff happened (is happening) but it (hive.blog) still seems to be the one place on the internet that IS ACTIVELY fighting for the freedom of speech.
So for better or worse I will stay here and continue to fight for free speech. I'm not promoting Hive as the answer to everything but it seems to be one of the last hold outs, so yaa.
This fight aint over till the boot (or knee) on my neck chokes out my last breath. And I start seeing anti freedom os speech.
Cough, gasp,gasp, gassssssssp, choke wheeeez........ .. .
Ya, sorry my reply was not exactly meant for you either.
I think what WE NEED TO DO is allow this place to be the "free speech" platform the WORLD needs right now and stop with this Dumpster fire shitfuckery.
Which is exactly what We (you and me) are doing right now.
I made a comment to your reply, you politely said (more or less) "I wasn't talking to you and your comment is off topic" and then restated your point. I commented back saying "ya, sorry" then I tried to address your point.
Im not familiar with whatsup incessant marketing but I do see a lot of "Our Dumpster fire smells better than yours" and a lot of "lets add flowers and a meditation rug and happysmellgood for everyone!"
Grow up people..
We (hive) got the worlds attention, now the only marketing HIVE needs to do is yell out to everyone "FREE SPEECH ZONE HERE!"
AND
WE (the users of hive) need to allow free speech and have real conversations instead of pissing contests .
IMO that's it, we (you, me, hive) don't need to do anything else. Just let everyone know that this is a place where free speech will be allowed and respected EVEN IF it's not agreed with.
If we follow that ONE rule, "Allow and respect free speech" hive will continue to grow. It will be unstoppable.
We (the hive community) have such an amazing tool at our disposal and we are using it to ....
