Steemit is not a decentralized platform. It is a privately held company whose top tier hold all the power.
Steemit also is given to much credit for not censoring....if one can destroy another through flagging just because of what that person says that is censorship. I don't know how many times I've seen people say "don't poke the bear"....meaning don't poke a whale. That's censorship, if people can't feel free to speak their mind without being destroyed.

Good point. This is the biggest problem Steemit faces. People not speaking their mind because they are afraid of getting destroyed by some angry whale. Imagine someone quitting their job to blog on Steemit, then writes something "wrong" and is then constantly downvoted for writing the "wrong" content or having the wrong political views.
