Interesting about Minds...
If you want rewards you brown nose the rich and their lackeys. Basic crapitalism in action.
About Hive, you dramatize. I, for example, just share my images/stories on Hive and get good rewards because Hivers consider I am a good content creator.
if you don't care about rewards you can say anything you like
I understand it. Minds and Hive can't delete your posts or your account unlike Twitter, etc. If a person wants to do political blogging, that's very important and great.
Yes, you engage in speech they approve of, it is easy to support agreeable speech, but to support 'free speech' one has to upvote things that they do not like.
That ain't happening in the hive, more likely to get downvoted.
Lots of people have been driven away for speaking their truth.
Hive can't delete your post, but the front ends can make them inaccessible outside using a block explorer.
Minds can delete anything it wants, but they do, at least, make an effort of not punishing unpopular speech.
IF you look long enough you will see the falsity of what you think hive is and does.
Not that this in any way affects the tech, still the best tech in the industry and getting better by the day, but the crowd leaves something to be desired, imo.
Then, what's the use of this platform? Though, it doesn't matter... No use. 😀
It was interesting, thank you for this conversation! 🙂
They do offer an option to put things on the 'permaweb', but I don't know much about how that works.
In any event, they can just delete your account.
They are not a blockchain.
