My feelings exactly!

In fact, I've been at it for almost four years already. It appears I've been too early. Back in the day, I'd been telling to my friends that they should get on Steem so that we could chew our shit there instead of Facebook.

And what did these people do?

To my utter shock, these people who I had respected for their brains turned my suggestion down, offering what amounted to blank stares or reasons that made zero sense.

Platforms like Facebook, Twitter and the like have held enormous power over the minds of their user bases. That's because of the sheer size of their user bases and the fact that most people have a herd mentality. Even the smart ones tend to be just as programmed as the rest. That's because the programming takes place on a much lower level than the intellect.

But recently, we have begun to see chinks in the armor. These platforms are succumbing to classic hubris. Their so drunk from their power that they think they can get away with zapping the account of whoever they want.

A larger conversation about censorship has begun. I'm seeing the tiny glimmers of light of understanding.

But we need help from the giants. I want them to go overboard with censoring people and entities. The so-called crypto influencers deserve to get all wiped out from mainstream channels.

And yes, you're right about us needing to go to every influencer who cries about losing their account and tell'em they should've at least backed up content on Hive.

I also agree on the Hive ecosystem beginning to be able to offer the complete package for anyone who wants to be secure in knowing that they can't be canceled.
