It's difficult for me to comprehend how non violent differences of opinion which deviate from the common narrative are harmful to others.

With the internet, we have this amazing ability to choose what we consume and what we do not consume. Perhaps this is freedom of choice?

If an idea/opinion/belief deviates from that of a central authority, we find ourselves needing a decentralized solution, like Hive.

But is Hive decentralized when a body of authority can dictate the visibility of a persons ideas/opinions/beliefs, while diminishing/cancelling out any possibility of rewards and increased visibility from other agreeing parties?

If I made a post which outlined an unpopular belief, and the post was downvoted by an account that supersedes the power of all accounts voting on the post beneath it, I start to feel like its a mainstream social media outlet, with a little more "pig in a blanket" feel to it, where everyone is nibbling at the little crusty flaky outside layer, while avoiding the pig in the middle.

Please excuse the strange metaphor, it came to me while composing this reply. I would hope that it's not considered a dangerous opinion for others to read.
