This is a fascinating conversation. Unfortunately, I expect to see my work writing a comment to soon be vetoed with a "not enough power" message from my ecency app!
Allowing negative comments against the hosting platform is my first litmus test of a free platform. Sorry to tangent, but the new social platform just announced, "Truth Social", just failed that with their first terms of service, if I can believe their political opponents' reading of them.
I don't want to see another "Free" social platform have to start from scratch. I'd rather see improvements in Hive.
