We are Making Good Progress

Would any commercial website support a post that encourages all users to migrate to another one? No. That would not be in the best interest of the community and the Steem ecosystem.

If we are actually comparing your actions to reality – yes, yes they would. In fact, they do on a common infrequent basis. One of the most rapidly shared kinds of post on Facebook and Twitter are the ones that seriously argue with great and abiding passion that fellow users should migrate somewhere else.

And anyone who has spent more than 15 minutes in a social media network knows that to be the case.

See, the solution to what you, I, or anyone else might think of as "bad speech" is "more speech," not "no speech." It's your job to make a really good argument in support of your platform which replies to the arguments which you consider to be not in the best interests of the community and the Steem ecosystem.

And honestly, it's not like they make it hard for you.

Now, there's always the possibility that you will turn around, provide excerpts of those posts, explain why you think certain pieces of content are against the terms of service, and actually make your case – but I don't expect it. You just like I don't expect the people who are advocating for Hive to explain how it is that trading one desperate for another is in my best interest as a creator.

Don't spray it in the air and tell me it's raining. That's insulting. I don't like to be insulted. I definitely don't like to be insulted when there is an absolute raft of other social media platforms to move to share my content. You should treat me, like all creators, as partners in making you butt loads of money.

Shall we try again?
