I love that you wrote about this topic! I totally understand why some people would assume that the lack of support on their post = censorship but ... I think you totally hit the nail on the head when you said:
"How many of us are here because of everyone's 'trivial' lives? People upcycling shirts into trendy jackets in Portugal, making plant pots out of water containers in Indonesia, the daily life of lyme disease sufferer in America, overcoming flood in the Phillipines, a road trip down to Croatia, the darling buds of May in plant pots on windowsills in the UK?"

That is exactly why I am here. I want to read/see the human stories that people all over the world have to share. If I wanted the news I would tune in to a news report. What makes Hive so special is the blog format which allows people to write short posts with mostly pictures, long, essay-like articles, or something in between. The posts I personally gravitate towards have a strong human element, plant pics, kitten pics, eye-catching clothing, etc. I think those that feel they are being censored need to ask themselves if it is truly censorship or if they just aren't writing engaging posts.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!!
