I don’t cry “censorship” lightly. Steemit has always had the ability and has blocked users in the past for excessive spam, illegal activity, etc. As we always used to cry out, “Steemit is not Steem!“ Steemit has always been centralized and censored.

What’s so egregious here is the content being excluded, and it’s clear the decision is entirely spiteful, childish, and unprofessional. Never has this community censored discussion and promotion of projects like Sola, Ono, Narrative, or Voice. In fact many of us supported and explored them, but the vast majority are now dead... and we keep coming back to Steem.

The only thing Justin is right about is that Hive is a threat to Steem’s success. It sure is. Hive is the future! Hope to see everyone there!

(I really want to change your commercial from, “Do You Take Discover?” to “Will You Switch to Hive?” 😁)
