What a beautifully sensitive way of approaching this issue. This post should be a 'required reading' for all Hivers, translated into over 300 languages! It's so sweet, tender and funny - and bang on the money.
“It’s not lame, honey. It’s nature, it’s physics, it’s how social group dynamics have worked for centuries. Whether it’s a group like our little family, or Joe & Olivia’s group, or an entire social media platform… the influencers of the group are looking to make rules & consequences, because they know there’s no way to have everyone agree. It’s the only way they know to create order for the group. They’re doing it constantly even if they don’t realize it.”
And so many other truths in this post - many which made me smile, and some of which made me think a lot as well.
Your site must have taken hundreds and hundreds of hours to write - a true labour of love. I take off ALL my hats to you!
what a beautiful comment! Thank you so much! And I'm so pleased you enjoyed @ryzeonline's post. He puts lots of love into everything he does. It brings me joy when others notice, appreciate, and comment.
And I would love to see all of his work translated into many languages. I'm hoping to move my ass a bit faster so that I can get the Hive guide for beginners part one and part two out to people in Spanish ASAP.
I truly appreciate your words. Thank you again.

Thank you very much @riverflows , comments like yours here mean a lot to me. My other post, Hive Beginner's Guide, is being translated into Spanish by lovely, kind volunteers @jackyvergara and @cynshineonline , I believe @katerinaramm wanted to translate it into Greek, and @paulo.sar asked to translate it into Portugese.
I deeply appreciate these fine people and I feel blessed that anyone feels inspired to translate my words. I love other cultures and am honored to reach them. So far no one's felt inspired to translate this piece on freedom of speech, but it's certainly possible.
I'm very glad you quoted that paragraph, as I believe it's an important one, and I'm even more glad that you ended up smiling (and thinking!(
My site had a lot of love poured into it and did indeed take many hours to write, so it's truly wonderful when someone takes the time to recognize and appreciate that.
You have made my morning happier and brighter with your comment, thank you so much, I appreciate you. 🙏
Hello @ryzeonline I can translate it too. I have one doubt, should I translate the images too or not?
If you translate the images well (ie: the text is short and able to fit nicely on the image), and provide me the text for each image in an organized way, I'm happy to edit the images and deliver Portugese versions of them to you (perhaps through dropbox or something.)
Please let me know if that works for you, looking forward to your response!
Hello @ryzeonline, sorry for the later answer, this works too, I will send to you the text in the next few days. You want to send it by what channel?
Sounds good!
I'd appreciate it if you could provide me a link to a 'Google Document' containing the text/images you'd like me to edit.
Please let me know if that works for you. 😀
