THANK. YOU.
Good lord, I got into it here with hiveblocks:

hiveblock's message really rubbed me the wrong way. I'm relieved to see others concerned about laying down the welcome mat to those who feel disenfranchised due to Trump's suspension.
Sure,"anyone" can use Hive. But what type of message do we want to send to those who are looking for a new place to spread hate? That they cannot only use Hive, but they are specifically invited to the platform?
A little analogy I've been thinking about: Say a school is allowing a group to meet in a class room every week, and it comes to light that the group is found to be a white supremacist group. The school bans them from any future use and refutes them for what their cause is. Is it wise for other meeting spaces to advertise to the group, "Please meet here! Our doors are open to ANYONE!". I ask, because that's what it feels like is happening with Hive right now.
Frankly, capital raider sympathizes, Q, Proud Boys and Nazis, can go build their own network. If they choose to use Hive, they are NOT welcome here.
