I’m starting to see it clearly… Stacker News isn’t just an open community. There are people here acting like gatekeepers. If they don’t like what you say—even if it’s thoughtful, even if it’s true—they downzap it into silence.
It’s not official censorship. But it feels like a message:
“If you’re not one of us, you’re not welcome here.”
But wait… Isn’t Bitcoin for everyone?
Isn’t true decentralization about removing the power from the few?
I’m not afraid of downzaps.
I’m not afraid of getting kicked off this platform.
What I fear more… is a community ruled by the same centralized mindset we claim to reject.
This is not just a post—
This is resistance.
