The fact that you compared hive downvotes to a twitter deletion is quite extreme. You do realise despite all the downvotes on this post and how many people may dislike you, your account and this post still exist to be viewed by all, so no, you have not been censored.
As with every time I recieve a bulk mention (8k people... wow), you win my downvote of the day award! But remember, your post is still here... I am not censoring you, and while I might not like the fact you posted this, I'm a big believer in free speech and hence is why I am here... if censorship was actually a problem here, I'd be out of here in a heartbeat.

It depends on what is meant by the word censorship. Thank you for the reward in dissent, I really deserve it.
I still recieved your mention despite all the downvotes, did I not? If you go to, say, HiveBlocks which is a neutral site just showing blockchain history, your post will be as equally prominent as any other. If I sort by new, this post will be in the correct place, will it not?
Sure, you don't get the benefits of Trending or Hot, but they are supposed to be decided by the community at large.
I agree with you. And I apologize if I offended you. I think the possibility of a massive mention is something that should be excluded in the next hard forks.
Nah, I wasn't offended, although reading that back, I can see how you could imply that from my message. I actually appreciate that you gave me a different perspective on the issue, as I had never considered that. So, thank you.
I don't think it's actually a Hardfork requiring issue, because Frontends/Bots can count the mentions, and set a cap themselves. I don't think mass mentioning should cause your post to fail to appear on the chain, just that it should be filtered.
Anyway, thank you for the discussion.
Kind regards,

Another confirmation
Ahh yes, that's because you opted to post it in a community. Therefore the community owner can mute the post. You can avoid this issue by posting it to your own profile instead.
It was muted because:

I don't want to mention all users for the 3rd time. People's patience has long run out :)
Yeah, I just meant to avoid the issue in the future :D
