I "peaced out" because ONE person can effectively censor anyone on this platform for whichever reason he sees fit with no community discussion or recourse.

Why would I want to promote or take part in something as toxic as this?

I've held onto my account here for well over 3 years because I had hope that this platform could actually follow through on its "vision" of being a censorship resistant social media haven.

It's a superb way to acquire cryptos without going through KYC, it's a great implementation of how cryptos can be used in daily life and it's a genious way to get "outsiders" exposed to this crypto space.

Plenty of pros, but at this point there is one glaringly obvious con that outweighs the good, at least for me.

I haven't completely given up hope for Steemit, but I think it's becoming obvious to a great many people on this platform that the witnesses have got some things to figure out.
