You are correct Yannay, the truth is that if you offend the wrong person here that they will downvote your ass into bankruptcy.

Steem is promoted as decentralized but it isn't. The guys with the biggest wallet rule here and they can take your money without any regulations.

So it is better to fit in, sad but true.

If you want to talk without filters you join the Berserkers server, there you don't need to be afraid to be downvoted.
