Behind every socialist , is a tyrant in waiting.
I'll never down vote mental illness (leftism) personally.
On the principles of free speech.
(It's form of coercive power - that's why socialists like to use it. lol).

Which is why I only said "want". doing is another thing.
If votes held no power besides just a expression of dislike, disproval and approval, and made absolute no harm to belittle the natural rights of others, I say why not "downvote". On this platform however, that power is given through the hp one has. I see it as a downfall to the growth of the platform. I rarely see any downvotes. I rarely see any comments except in the trending zone.

Political votes.... well.. that is just damn criminal motion on the bases that it promotes violence, wars, etc.

As for the question regarding the Hive blog, if money is worthless, what would be then of this platform? Will we see an increase of users? will we see a hostile takeover for the seat of the game of thrones like what happened with "Sun" in steemit, etc...?

Vague question mayhaps, but I am just curious as to what the majority here would do since their blogging would not be money driven. what incentives (as a whole) would be established?

I don't have a desire to censor others, just the want the liberty to express my dislike. However to do thus, I downvote at a very low percentage. not that it matters at such low hp, but still. I wish the hp was not a factor though. including the "credits". Post as much as we want, comment and vote or downvote as much as we want without any ill doing towards anyone as a result.

If you're not actually a slave, your slavery is self imposed...
