THIS WILL BE OUR BIGGEST INITIATIVE GIVEAWAY YET! LIQUID HIVE PRIZES INCLUDED!
#Parler #Rumble has outpaced the likes of giants like #Twitter & #Youtube in recent downloads. People are fleeing web 2 censorship and looking for alternatives. We saw this coming for years and even warned of "fake" decentralized platforms with large marketing budgets acting as a honey pot to many unsuspecting new users.
One cannot own the web 3 successors to the legacy platforms. It will be a distributed system with joint ownership by all parties and platforms involved. The network will reward them with ownership appropriately and autonomously. This is the best way to go on offense against big tech.
I read a quote I liked I can't remember who it was from:
"Leaving a centralized site because of censorship only to join another centralized site that can censor you is the definition of insanity."
They know not what they do...
HIVE isn't centralized; for-profit VC funded companies like Twitter, Parler, Rumble, ETC are centralized and have large marketing budgets. As warned before, being early like we are can be frustrating. We knew platforms that offered the ability to preserve free speech will be in high demand, With the likes of Parler being the most downloaded app in the world these last weeks just proves what the market is demanding.
Good marketing can take you a hell of ways; But good marketing doesn't build a sustainable, decentralized ecosystem. VC funded projects where founders hold large portions of the shares/tokens are set up to fail. Web 3 will not be centralized it will be a distributed network with partial owners, no all-powerful gatekeepers.
What we can do is help spread the word under the #Parler + #Rumble tag and let people know they are jumping from the frying pan (quitting Twitter) straight into the fire (joining Parler).
Most people are simply unaware. The old motto; "you don't know what you have until you lose it." I always heard people say; "Most people don't care about free speech because they aren't censored themselves." Flip the script to 2020, add massive censorship and you see the results, alternative platforms are surging in usage with their centralized infrastructures baerly hanging on. As a site grows there are two options, decentralized the back-end to reduce cost or get VC funding to cover cost. Web 3 will be backed by the people, not VC funded brrrrrr fiat.
The frustration of being early and better is only in the mind. It's not about what has happened is about what is happening right now. We have superior solutions to some of the biggest problems in the world, and our biggest issue is making people aware of what we have here. That is a pretty fucking good problem to have if you ask me. So what are we going to do about it?
No one on Hive has a majority stake on Hive, no one "owns" Hive in a centralizing way, we are all partial owners and the issue with the shoulda, woulda, coulda is very real in this environment. It takes more than just the money to go the distance with what we have. We need people that are also for what the technology can solve, and the potential it has to change the world by bringing tools that provide user ownership and big tech transparency and accountability. The money will come when passion meets opportunity.
So today's mission is simple. We are not against sites like Parler or Rumble, if anything we invite them to integrate HIVE's technology so they can decentralize most if not all of their tech stack. However, when we see users tweeting out they are quitting Twitter because of "TwitterCensorship" and to solve this censorship issue decide joining Parler is the solution, are misguided, and can use some of our help.
The best way to this approach isn't to attack but to be a helping hand. Remind them that if they wish to not experience censorship, a centralized site like Parler that can censor you isn't the solution. Recommend an app built on Hive and explain why Hive offers an actual solution to preserve their free speech.
To participate:
- Create a full post explaining why Hive (things like accounts, communities, text content, all immutable) offer a decentralized way to use social media and why that is a better solution than using a centralized site that can ban you anytime.
- Important: So your post can be visible by curators make sure that #HiveFixesThis is one of the first four tags on your post, especially if you are posting to a community.
- Share your Hive post link on Twitter under a popular tweet referencing Parler, Rumble or Censorship & Free Speech. Use the hashtags: #HiveFixesThis #Parler #Rumble and any other hashtag related to your post.
- Post your tweets as comments under popular Tweets here: Parler Rumble TwitterCensorship YoutubeCensorship
- Up your Twitter game by adding eye-catching MEME's! List here by @hiro-hive https://tenor.com/users/hiro_hive
- Please search the #HiveFixesThis tag on Twitter and like/comment etc to help boost awareness
- On Twitter use a URL shortener for your HIVE link, such as https://www.shorturl.at/ I am told that it helps with the Twitter censorship of Hive links. You can also track how many people click your link from sites like that.
- Optional Bonus: When making a video, upload a short clip of it to Twitter as a teaser, and put the link in a comment under the Tweet. Videos get a lot more views if uploaded directly to Twitter, and to see the rest they will need to go to your 3speak profile.
- Tips will be given out randomly to those using the #HiveFixesThis tag on Twitter.
- Users with the most likes/comments on their Tweets will be eligible for additional rewards in the form of liquid Hive!

Hive is centralized in the sense that a handful of whales can wipe out the governance votes, HPS decisions and even individual accounts(the equivalent to shadow banning) of the majority of users poorer than them.
This is a bottleneck equivalent to a centralized platform and we need to actually decentralize before making such a claim as if it's set in stone.
Being able to pay for power leads to the current steemit and nothing is stopping it from happening again here.
This is so important
Great idea! I use many times #HiveFixesThis but I think it's better to use this with corelation #Parler and #Rumble
I had to look for the definition of the highlighted acronym above.
Venture capital (VC) is a type of equity financing that gives entrepreneurial or other small companies the ability to raise funding before they have begun operations or started earning revenues or profits. —INVESTOPEDIA.COM
Now I know! This indeed makes it hard for The HIVE Blockchain Network and, ultimately, its decentralize applications to compete for end-users/stake holders. The current guerrilla campaign is doing quite well. More and more HIVE folks are getting involved on a daily basis.
I thank you very much for making the above possible by providing tools to the co-organizers which fund incentives. Your excitement is contagious and your leadership nothing short of outstanding.

Yeah, we are an early adopter of Web 3.0. I am very proud for all of us here, free speech are dying on centralized aocial network. Highly agree on this,
you never know what you need until lose it. I will be making more GIF memes and video to battle all of this censorship. May God help us all here.!invest_vote
@levi-miron denkt du hast ein Vote durch @investinthefutur verdient!
@levi-miron thinks you have earned a vote of @investinthefutur !
On it! 😂
There will be centralized apps on Hive. On all blockchains there will be side chains and even private apps. Only the good will survive. But as you said the backbone should be decentralized and I hope Hive will be a major part in this revolution.
The hidden fight against Hive is encouraging. When Twitter and FB lower rating to links to Hive, you know something good is happening.
I had doubts when Steem bid bot parties felt fake and wrong. But the story with Hive is a wonderful turn around.
I haven't been able to participate in the challenge this time. I just share this challenge on my Twitter account.
Always success for you.

cool initiative!
had an unfinished article about hive laying around for months.. now finally finished it :)
I am beginning to read you as a reference to that world that is possible, and in your article I came across this phrase that encompasses an ideal of the HIVE world: "The money will come when passion meets opportunity..."
Phrase that in the background is like laying of rails so that our train does not lose its way .... Greetings
Hey, what are you on discord? I'm trying to get ahold of you. Would love to talk about what you're up to with the 3speak app and coin airdrops for hive, etc. if you have a minute...
Well, task done..!
Just seems so hard to get traction when it remains so complicated. We need to address keys ASAP so people can just sign up with a password and get their keys later when they want to graduate to a more decentralized version.

well here is my participation and opinion I hope you like
Great idea, keep healthy bro
Is there any chance we can onboard new users through a type of custodial accounts. Basically we let users join with Facebook/Google accounts or through E-mail and take a cut from their post earnings. When they learn how to change the keys and take ownership of a HIVE account, they can become fully decentralized users with full ownership of their accounts. I wrote more about this here: https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@vimukthi/we-need-centralized-hive-accounts
