Sola is a censored platform.

It has control over what you post. Just letting you know.

I don't think a censored social media platform has a future.
Dinosaur philosophy, (imo)

Very good point. And you are correct, it is censored for sure. But isn't Steemit to an extent with the Whales? I've read that they have the ability to "down vote" a person and kill their posts.

But you are correct....I've seen several friends over there get censored due to firearm posts.

flagging the post isn't the same as killing it...

It's still there to be found...

Gotcha. I've never experienced that and I have only watched a video about a whale doing that.

So what does "flagging a post" mean? May I ask?

Thanks!!!

Flagging means they down vote the post (take rewards away from others peoples up votes)
When flagged enough, the post gets hidden. (faded out) The post is still there though..

Interesting. I guess I just don't understand how that is much different than a centralized company taking down posts. But you are correct, you can still see your flagged post....but no one else will see it on there feed.

But if no one can see it, does it even exist?

Kind of like the saying, "if a tree falls in the middle of a forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound?"

Very interesting.
