I don't really understand how Murhpy's law applies here. You saying since it exists, someone will abuse it? Like if humans are allowed to use the internet, they might all use it wrong, so we need the government to go through and take it away from them all? It's just the logical path

Hive is the decentralized and censorship-resistant platform. Services built on Hive may not be
In your example of open/closed source software, this would be like running closed-source software on a Linux based operating system. It works perfectly fine and people have done it every day for decades. It doesn't cause any problems
So your complaint is that deathwing is allowing people to use his api? If he only used his api in his community, and told everyone else they were not allowed to use it, then you would think that is better?
Hive is a decentralized, public, immutable databse. Having your own node does not mean having your own blockchain. It just means having your own access point to the peer-to-peer network instead of relying on someone to give you a free one. Distributing your own hosted solution across hundreds of your own computers around the world and cryptographically ensuring that nobody has edited anything on any of those copies would be a far greater task than running your own node on Hive.
The more you speak, the more I realize you may have some fundamental misunderstandings of what Hive is and how it works. That may be leading to some miscommunications here. None of the communities stuff is part of Hive. That is a dapp that runs on top of Hive. Splinterlands is another example of a dapp that runs on top of Hive. I name that one since it's one of the more well known, but there are many dapps on Hive. It isn't just a blogging communities platform
Totally agree that more frictionless is more better. However, I don't expect that everyone running any Hive service should somehow be obligated to providing the ideal experience. They should have the freedom to create what they think the market demands.
What we're talking about here is not some core function. It's one of the things people can select to use on certain websites. If someone wanted a "free speech #1" free blogging platform, Hive is very well suited to accommodate that. Any existing tribe is in a great position to make their own api node and support that mission. Very easy compared to what they've already accomplished
Treating Hive as some monolithic, central service that requires everything built on it to follow this kind of guideline removes market competition and pushes unnecessary regulation onto any business that wants to build. It's just old world centralization from people that think they know what is best for everyone. Freedom is better. Keep hived working toward freedom, let markets and preferences decide for everything built on top of that
The difference between joining a global peer-to-peer network to store data on a public, permissionless, decentralized and immutable database should be pretty clear. If you understood that is what happens by having your own node, then maybe explain how having a private node and spinning up your own server and centrally hosting everything are similar?
Your grandma's pretty cool 😃
The blocking doesn't happen in the protocol. If that was happening, there would be a problem. This is happening on a dapp built on Hive. It is not happening to Hive itself
