A lot of people have been promoting steemit lately, making claims along the lines of "you cant be censored on Steemit" and thats not entirely true. The Steemit platform has been slowly gathering more popularity and less effectiveness since I started using it. While it was nice to meet new people and it was great to see a new platform promoting decentralisation, it has fallen into the same problem every other platform has... A lack of free speech. about 30% of my posts have been demonetized, censored and/or reported by certain people who do not agree with my world view. Because of this issue that myself and other likminded people are experiencing, I feel like I have no choice but to power down and pull out, if I do decide to end my use on steemit, I will be sure to let you all know via here or YouTube. Until I can find a platform that protects everyones free speech - and not just their own - The search continues!
