If I couldn't accept that downvotes may be healthy for the ecosystem, I would spend time on another chain without them. There are plenty. It is anti-free speech though. Many posts are obfuscated through downvoting and the coercion of shilling is another murky area. Regardless of what is correct or not, what is being proposed is not in alignment with what Musk is seeking. People just want Hive to be an end all be all to everyone's problems without actually listening to the person on the other side. It's a lost cause and if this hackneyed mob can't bring Larimer into the fold, they will never reach Musk. Its just a simple fact.

Consider what free speech means by the types of people the ACLU represent. Its meaning is different than the rainbow farting unicorn representation that people have diluted it to sound like.
