Thank you for your explanation. Perhaps more transparency regarding curation decisions would be helpful. For example, there could be a clear community guideline to avoid such conflicts. YouTube has guidelines, for example. Or, at least, create some guidelines for beginners.
YouTube is a centralized platform. On Hive each community has their own guidelines as those are centralized too, and there are some general rules about what you should curate or not, but at the end of the day no one can tell you what to curate.
