Today I encountered a new way the big witnesses and developers of Steemit have found to silence opposing non-mainstream voices:

I wanted to reply to cryptogee@cryptogee

in this post of mine:

https://steemit.com/informationwar/@pagandance/stupid-steemit-and-most-of-its-deepstate-witnesses-sucks

and then this happened:

So I had to wait for my "Resource Credits" to refill before I was able to reply.

Meaning I have to SHUT UP or POWER UP or BUY more Steem if I don't want cryptogee@cryptogee give the impression I am ignoring him/her.

Meanwhile as was to be foreseen and expected, a witness came by and flagged the post, making also the image with Dan Larimer's thoughts about the current state of Steemit, invisible:

It is clear that under the guidance of timcliff@timcliff and co the Big Ones of Steemit have found a very sneaky way to oppress opposing non-mainstream views on this platform.

They can say "But this is not censorship" - "You can click on a button to make a post visible"

Well they can effectively make you SHUT UP or PAY

Twitter and Facebook may try to censor and ban opposing non-mainstream opinions, but at least they are free.

After many hours I still could not post anything, went to steemd and it says this:

So i will power up a little of my Steem so that my "RC" allows me to react to people like apogee@apogee.

Fucking rogue witnesses and developers!
