**A Plea from the Depths: To the Whales Who Forgot They Were Once Little Fish**

You were entrusted with power—not to hoard it, but to **guard it**. To lift the little fish, not **feed on them**. Yet here we are. On **Hive.blog**, the whales don’t shepherd—they **predators**. Armed with a **-100% downvote**, they erase voices with a single click: - The mother sharing her child’s first hummingbird sighting? **Gone**. - The student posting poetry to cope with grief? **Buried**. - The retiree documenting solar stats to help neighbors? **Zeroed out**. Not for spam. Not for harm. But because they dared to exist **outside the circle**— not loyal, not farming, not compliant. And where do those rewards go? Back into the **same pool the whales already own**— a self-replenishing feast, while the little fish fight for crumbs… or worse—**starve in silence**. This isn’t curation. It’s **extraction disguised as order**. You claim to “protect quality,” yet your farms—**@buildawhale**, **@poshtoken**, **@usainvote**—churn out copy-paste spam like clockwork, voted on by rings of alts, funded by delegations from **@blocktrades**, all while honest creators are branded “toxic” for speaking truth. **The irony isn’t lost. It’s weaponized.** --- ### But There Is Another Way On **Blurt.blog**, there is **no downvote button**. Not because dissent is forbidden—but because **freedom is non-negotiable**. Here, no whale can erase your voice with a click. No cartel can zero out your rewards because you asked the wrong question. What you earn, you **keep**—not as a favor, but as a right. Blurt isn’t loud. It doesn’t need to be. It’s where community isn’t performed—it’s **lived**. --- ### So We Demand Change Not with rage—but with **resolve**. Stop treating Hive like a private feeding ground. Stop calling censorship “curation.” Stop pretending the little fish don’t matter— **when they’re the very lifeblood of the chain**. Either reform—or step aside. Because the tide is turning. The little fish are swimming elsewhere— to waters where they’re not prey, but **partners**. And that water has a name: **Blurt.blog**. Where your voice can’t be downvoted away. Because **there is no downvote button**. And in that simple truth lies everything Hive forgot: **Power isn’t meant to dominate. It’s meant to empower.** **The Illusion of Control — And the Quiet Exodus to Freedom**
