As a group we decided to not pursue the project. I still think it is a good idea and there is no question people love to debate politics and they would.
The reasons I didn't care to pursue it had more to do with the environment and lack of certainty with Hive's direction than the viability of the project.
I don't know if there will be SMTs, if the inflation changes, if they attempt to shut down the blogging apps all together. However for those who are willing to take those risks, I see huge opportunity.
