Hive is definitely the exception, but I think it's because the people who made Steemit a community were ostracized, and the digital world lets us rebuild more easily. We're the ones who made Steemit work in the first place.

This issue of "my way or the highway" zero-sum game is a consequence of how we structure our politics. We don't have this kind of dispute over what car you should buy, what shoes you should wear, or what music you should listen to when my choice does not impose on you. Our vaunted "democratic" process does make that into a problem every time it is used, from the homeowner's association to the UN.
