To My Followers on Steem
If you're not aware of the historical context, you can get caught up by reading:

You have to be careful what you say on Steem. If you mention another platform, they are entitled to block your entire account.
In theory, it doesn't matter which platform, but we all know which one they're most likely to find problematic (it's Hive).
But that doesn't mean they will stick to that. In theory, if you mention Dash, for example, you're in violation which is weird because that's a great use-case for Steem, to discuss other platforms.
You should really use Hive for that instead. The safe topics on Steem are to pretend there are no other crypto projects.
The point I'm making is, you have to keep it in the back of your mind that you might not have a fully index account like mine, if they decide.
That's why I recommend:

Can Hive do this too? Certainly. Each front-end is owned by an individual group. But there are many-many un-related front-ends on Hive. Steem used to have other front-ends too, but they've mostly fallen away. And the ones that remain all tend to use the Steemit, Inc. API node, which means they are pretty much locked down.
There's a technical reason for this. Running a content node for either Hive or Steem is expensive. And if the flagship front-end (e.g. steemit.com) is acting up, there's a chilling effect on the others.
In theory, someone could run a free-speech island on Steem, but why bother? Why have an island (on steem) when you can have a continent (on hive)?
Dot Tumblr Dot Com, on the other hand, would be an awful name for a band, if only because of how hard it would be to direct people to your band's website.
