RE: Why is Hive special ?

Finally caught one of these missions less than 5 days after its posting! 🥳🥳🥳

Hive's community is a major factor that makes it special. It's a small community but the people tend to care about Hive. There's a massive range of opinions of various topics across our population, and I find it wonderful that anyone can actually express their opinion without being completely censored (i.e. everything remains visible).

That said, the censorship is not completely gone. Users can be downvoted to the degree that their viewpoints are minimally visible except to the most curious of people who dig and scroll. Since there's a unique financial incentive here, that's also a unique form of financial censorship. There's a small number of people who take advantage of this type of censorship (in particular, certain "whales") and bring Hive down to some degree. Their actions become less of a community-directed effort and instead become more personal.

I'll end with a positive note that most people here do, indeed, use their power responsibly. This is a part of the strength of community that was mentioned before. People are generally interested in seeing each other grow and thrive here!
