May I know which online platform is the "right" (or at least decent) place for posting about politics or religion (or any controversial topic) without fear of personal attack (such as harassment)?
I am planning to stop using this account @anonymouser soon (and also drop my plan of creating more anonymous accounts, or quit if I already have some). My last posts and comments would be about saying farewell to the people who I have fun with here on Hive.
No, don't be too fast on this. You are a valuable asset in Hive. Only a handful are contributing valuable contents, don't even think about upvote or Hive tokens you earn. That doesn't measure the value of posts, it's just a fame and likeability meter.
If the spaminator/hivewatchers isn't blacklisting you, you are not a threat in Hive for whatever reason they might think.
Stand on your advocacy, be the IT security here on Hive if you can. No one should rip off from your right for privacy and anonymity while posting about awareness.
Hive is an open platform, you may not garner much following from your field of interest, but that doesn't invalidate your expertise in that field. Even if your social circle is less than 1% of the total Hive users, that doesn't invalidate the value of your current and future contribution for a safe and secure internet presence.
#HiveOn @anonymouser!
I have already been thinking about this for several weeks.
I have to balance the benefits I bring to people versus the risks it entails to me as a user when my anonymity is compromised enough.
I don't care about the number of upvotes or amount of rewards. I just want to make sure that at least a few people read my articles. What I am concerned with is about my anonymity, and what happens when it is compromised enough.
If they blacklist me, then what would it mean? That I am a threat in Hive?
What do you mean with "rip off"? Profit from me?
It just takes one identity leak to trace all my anonymous activities here on Hive to my real identity, then all the protections granted by my anonymity will be gone forever.
I don't think this is the right platform for political content, at all. Whatever you write here will forever be public... so when it comes to discussing Politics, Religion or any other topics that might bring some people to become mad at you, I prefer to do it on closed platforms such as MeWe or Discord.
Anyway, if you're looking for something like Hive / Steem for that kind of content, I'd suggest Blurt which is a Fork of Steem... without the Downvotes option.
I am already posting a lot of political content about the right to privacy (and anonymity and free speech). As an example, governments (especially those of the United States and the United Kingdom, not to mention China and the #-Eyes) actively violate peoples' rights to privacy (and free speech). With all their power in surveillance especially the untargeted way with the help of AI, they will surely find a way to uncover anonymous users telling the truth about them. I am not scared about lawsuits because I am not posting anything illegal (criticizing governments do not count as illegal, yet); I just worry that like what governments around the world already do - violate the rights of people - but specifically targeted at me and other anonymous users.
You just gave me another reason to stop being anonymous on Hive.
