Yea it seems like some people can't handle zero censorship and zero accountability. I personally kind of like the idea that voice is using... kyc style. Does the person have an introduction post?
On the PAL side though, I haven't had a chance yet to see the mute in action. Is it like on Steemit where it collapses it, but you can clearly see that it was there and can expand it? I suppose it will be interesting to see how the community reacts to this.
Could you elaborate a bit on PAL centralization? Do only a few own a large majority?
I don't really know the full details behind it. Someone created the PAL token, and certain people have control over the front-end. I'm not sure if they have made it fully clear who is in charge of what.
As to the coin, those involved in the development have gotten quite a bit, and there was a drop where people with Steem Power can get some, but we all can buy in if we want, and then determine how the PAL is distributed with what we Stake.
There are a few comments by the person mentioned in the post I linked:

You can look at the same post on a front-end like SteemPeak:

They don't collapse. They don't even show.
The whitepaper lists the team and can be found here https://steemit.com/minnowsupport/@minnowsupport/palcoin-launch-a-revised-whitepaper-and-token-launch-by-the-minnow-support-project
That refers to the Global Mute, each platform on SCOT can individually set an account that when it mutes an account on the STEEM chain, will provide the same restrictions, but to only that platform.
