Great post and I guess you’ve proved that you either put up or shut up. Bravo for your actions. I’ve been watching what’s going on and adding my 2 pence in when I feel it necessary. As far as I know and this is how it’s always been sold is that Hive/Steem are/where immutable and sensorship free. Downvotes were solely for those gaming the system, plagiarism and copyright. Since Covid it’s been open warfare on those speaking out against “the science” but without any active debate, just downvoting. I’ll certainly take a look at my own witness votes with your post in mind. I have nothing against those who choose to be against free speech but I can’t stand by and vote for them as a witness while they are acting the way they are. So far I’ve only seen one of these major stakeholders giving any sensible justification for his actions. As for the rest I think their attitudes are way out of line. I hope this is a wake up call for them but I suspect it will only provoke their egos.
