You bring up an interesting point here: Hive is not a very welcoming site and promise of free speech was not delivered. The wales decide what is acceptable and what is not.

That was not my point. Hive is not a site... it's a blockchain. Anyone with keys can broadcast messages (no one prevents you to do that). When you do that and the message is received with success, your message becomes immutable. Hence free speech does exist... Some people confuse upvotes/downvotes with speech... not the same thing. UI's are not HIVE, they are APPS of HIVE... HIVE is a community blockchain not owned by a central entity... it's owned by its users... all of them.

And your threatening „shot on-site“, almost blackmail style tone of voice isn't helping either. Powering down and selling was the correct decision.

Not sure if you got me here too... you assumed I was threatening... I was not. Just "figuratively exemplifying" what I am afraid sometime in the future can be, and if who is not protected could potentially suffer from it.

I am actually a very positive person in daily life. Because I know it helps with everyone mood around me. But I am not stupid.

You seem to be using my words to express your own agenda... and that for me is RED alarm immediately as to why you are even commenting to me.

So there you have, free speech between you and me.. no one oppressed us... hence proved you wrong.

Glad you are comfortable with your decisions. That's how it should always be.
