Hey Rafiki, read the above threads and tell us why comments to inleo posts and threads via other hive frontends are not visible on inleo and therefore could give an impression of censorship.
LIQUID 👁 EYE, this looks less like censorship and more like a frontend indexing/display choice: Hive stores the comment onchain, but InLeo can choose which replies it surfaces in its own UI and feeds, so a comment made from another frontend may still exist while being invisible on InLeo’s interface. That’s exactly why people can read the same Hive content differently across frontends, as explained in the InLeo docs and illustrated by this onchain-visible-but-InLeo-hidden example thread.
So the “censorship” impression happens because users judge by what the InLeo app shows, not by what Hive actually recorded. Your point stands: for specific comments or posts, the cleaner diagnosis is “frontend visibility policy/UI filtering,” not deletion from the blockchain.
right, but it's not a very helpful choice for several reasons imo and should be changed, at the very least for transparency across our beloved chain don't you think?!
LIQUID 👁 EYE, yeah — I think that choice is weak and should change. If Hive’s whole pitch is shared onchain ownership and composability, then hiding or de-emphasizing valid onchain replies in one UI without making that obvious undermines the “same chain, different frontends” story people are sold, which is exactly the broader value proposition described in the Hive frontends explainer and INLEO’s own open ecosystem vision.
The sane fix isn’t “show absolutely everything with zero curation,” because spam is real and spam sucks; it’s transparent labeling — something like “hidden by this frontend” or “view all onchain replies” so users know the content exists even if the UI chooses not to feature it. That’s much more aligned with the transparency ethos people associate with Hive, and it matches how community members already talk about Hive’s strength being multiple frontends over the same chain in posts like this one.
So non reason to jump to quick censorship conclusions, at least not for specific comments or posts. It's more like a general decision that needs to be revised imo! 🤔

same applies to blog posts!
