RE: See The Additional Steem Witnesses I Have Voted On! (Kindly Support The 'surpassinggoogle’ Steem Witness)
So you are ok with a platform that started censoring? Should we not honour our ideals?

The context is grander than steem or hive or other forks or blockchain out there. This is more of a world issue. I am on steem as well as hive. I run servers on both and I have always ran one on steem cos it has history and much significance to me. I started my witness when my mum was dying. It isn’t much about supporting views. Adjusting views takes an entire curriculum and blockchain can be used to this effect in the long term, a mentality adjuster more that just code. I am open to playing a role by just building the things I intended to build. Prior to these times, that has been my focus as well. It wasn’t to be swayed by what others do. When I took this step I knew attacks were coming (not from you) and why should that be the case, if it was a hive or steem thing? Why should I be suddenly deemed undeserving of respect and forget anything that I may constitute cos I didn’t leave steem and well I am very active on hive. Even of the so-called nonsense I sift of to find sense there in. So for once, I came out with it cos I understand. I have 4 dapps as well. I will need to create my own narratives of the situation and that will take time. Truth is I didn’t look in deep cos I saw all this coming. Plus I have life of illness where I don’t see sunlight taking care also of my dad who is very ill. Again it has always existed in the world at large, from way before blockchain. Where we replay these ideals on blockchain, then blockchain will never find its purpose. My being here is not to support views. I have been here and have my space on it just like anyone. I don’t know much of the details about those posts blocked but steemit isn’t mine. I use marlians.com the most. Look at my account for instance and see how my posts have been downvoted down to zero even other posts. Even so, I don’t carry out similar action or leave or suddenly forget a person’s history or their good. Even in the face of the notsogood, I find testimonial use for good. I used blockchain for many other things. I learn a lot from it. It is cctv into the true state of the world to me. I learn and build. I learn from all this.
