Having your own node does not mean having your own blockchain. It just means having your own access point to the peer-to-peer network instead of relying on someone to give you a free one

Can't believe you keep missing the point. Quote where I say having my own node means having my own blockchain. I'll wait

    How about you set up your private node? There's no one stopping anyone. You say. True. But how is that any different than spinning up your own server and centrally host everything on your terms?

    The difference between joining a global peer-to-peer network to store data on a public, permissionless, decentralized and immutable database should be pretty clear. If you understood that is what happens by having your own node, then maybe explain how having a private node and spinning up your own server and centrally hosting everything are similar?

        there's nothing permissionless on something that already denies your entry because someone dislikes your username

        Hive doesn't do this

        Not all applications require immutability. In fact, I've encountered a lot of people on the internet who hate this idea

        Big truth. It's just one of the major differences and a key factor in protecting speech. If speech can be edited or removed, then censorship resistance is substantially lowered
