Upon reading your post above with interest @cmp2020 regarding the appreciation of free speech, I thought to comment with inclusion of a link to our new 'Free Speech Community' of which 'I' am founder.
Feel free to visit, and consider joining this small community. Be forewarned, that my intention is to not engage in censorship regardless of content posted by a member. (Short of it being a predatory crime)
Personally, I would enjoy having your perspective (even if rarely active) easily assessable to visitors there, who may otherwise, never discover your presence on Steemit.
