Thanks for taking the time to go into more detail around Hive's pros and cons.

In my opinion, Hive's biggest pro is definitely as a platform for freedom of speech.

While front-ends can choose which pieces of blockchain data they display, your data, content and followers always remain on your account.

No other platform can compete with Hive when it comes to freedom of speech.

On your cons side however, I'm not sure I agree that downvoting due to a difference of opinion is a negative.

We can't talk about freedom of speech as a pro and then complain when we don't like what someone else says or does.

Just remember that all downvotes effect is how much of the rewards pool you receive for your posts.

Unlike your freedom of speech, you're not entitled to rewards on Hive.

These are from a community pool and up to a community decision on how they're allocated.

As a DPoS blockchain, all that matters on Hive is your stake.

If you want your upvotes/downvotes to have more influence over the entire community and its front-ends, then get more stake.

Simple.

But your data always remains on your account where you can do and say what you want to your followers.

Not to mention there being avenues to build your own front-end community that interprets the blockchain differently if you want more.
