Thanks for your thoughtful support! We speak out because to not do so is a violation of our standards. Censorship is dishonorable, whether it is a minnow or a whale that wields that power. We understood that Steemit was free of censorship, which is one reason we found it so exciting and revolutionary. Unfortunately, we're witnessing that this is not the case. We call for all users to consider their VALUES so this community can grow and learn and succeed from these challenges! We're here to present our new paradigm because everyone can benefit from our experience and expanded awareness! We want to see everyone happy and healthy and free, because we know it is possible! We want to be part of an honorable and accountable community, so we speak out.
