Well, I was encouraged to test Hive in its uncensored version. I'm curious what it looks like, hence this post ;)
Years ago, Steem was supposed to be such a platform, but clan wars took over. Ultimately, I think this ruined the development potential of either platform. Neither is doing very well.
It's a shame, because writing projects is much easier now than it was years ago. Creating your own interface takes a few days of work, and it's not very demanding.
I sometimes remember what it was like on Steem – lots of people, belief in a better project, and figuring out how to make Steem better. I don't see that on Steem or Hive today, but maybe we can make up for it together?
We'll see!
