There I was, feeling like Mr Big with a rep of 45, and then next minute I was a half eaten sardine with a rep of 4. Seems an account with 2 1/2 million Hive power took offence to a meme I posted and decided to bitch slap me into the next dimension...

Oh well, shit happens, and the flak is always thickest when you are over the target.
Ironically, I only set out to have a bit of a laugh posting a few memes, but this attack highlights just how much "the powers that shouldn't be" hate memes, and now I'm fired up to start flinging some non-approved memes around.
But first I'll need a higher account rep, or I might end up invisible very rapidly. Time to get a thicker skin, FUCK CENSORSHIP, lets think honey badger!
Technically, I wouldn't call it censorship per se as the content is still accessible on chain but I would most definitely call it bullshit on their part.
It's like what if I want to make a point about a certain group being overrepresenting in Hollywood and the media which is a fact. Guess they would have to pull out the Anti-Semetic dog whistle on me, too.
Just FYI you'd probably have much better feedback on Minds spitting that kind of truth. They don't hold back even though most of society has been brainwashed to not state the real facts about "power and privilege".
Glad to see your rep got picked up and disappointed to see this on Leo.
I wasn't too surprised, but I've never seen a downvote that big before!
And over absolutely nothing as well.
I'm also on Gab, and holy cow do we let rip on "a certain group" over there... That meme folder is something to behold, but I don't post those ones on Hive.
I do have a minds account, but never really gelled with the site.
Getting back up from 4 to 46 rep in a day is quite spectacular isn't it? I'm pretty amazed by that as well. Got a lot of votes today :)
Minds' hallways are more empty than our's here.
They started the pay to blog delusion for me.
Then they made them erc20's and I lost most of my interest.
Had smteees!™ been ready we might have caught them, but they weren't, and still aren't.
Once you get to 60 it is very hard to lower your rep.
That is my plan - to be as meek a lamb until my rep is over 60! But I won't venture anywhere near Leo again!
Hey do you know how to get rid of that spaminator auto downvote - do they have a Discord appeal or anything where one can beg for forgiveness from their almighty authority?
Why yes, I do.

Leo was put out as a finance platform, I could see why deviation from that could bring negative curation.
That said, there are folks here that need to get a grip, this is a collective, not a personal play ground that they get to be the bully on with impunity.
Thanks for that link
I don't think they even understood the comment...
my line "musk is a dogboy" referred to him shilling dogecoin for the rotchild owned greyscale corporation, but that seems to have gone over their heads...
Oops, wrong thread.
Free speech means nothing if it doesn't mean the right to tell someone what they don't want to hear.
Your back up to 42 ...screw the censor brain dead.. keep pumping out the truth 😊
Yes, it's going up faster than expected, seems to be slow to get back up to about 15, then it takes off - algorithms I guess
Of likely interest and related to your post:

Here's a meme for you ;)
Thanks for your brilliant post, and thanks for the support.
My rep did bounce back quick didn't it?
But I won't be commenting on Leo-finance ever again!

Censorship on Hive? I simply can’t believe it - no meaning to the upward facing triangle red and black or the HEXagon Saturnian logo... nothing to see there ...same as that Wikileaks reference to the cia backed hive with the same Saturnian logo...no no! Hive is just fine- nothing ever monetized with quite a bit of money in it ever draws the attention of the parasites to come and start to quickly disintegrate it into a steaming pile of poop... no! That never happens
I don't think they should have flagged you for that image but I understand. If someone calls me some insulting word it will bother me, but probably not enough for to really bother me. However, if someone makes fun how the country we have thought to be democratic and always thought it would stay that way suddenly has the democratic integrity of a banana republic... it's sad. And as people try to look away from the ugly truth for the impotence they feel because we don't see a feasible way to restore the republics we're in, so we are trying to pretend everything is fine and you're ruining the comfort illusion.
