Nah, it was simply a dud. Since you posed in dlike where 99.999% of posts there is copypasta spam from bot accounts created by azmausa, you just got commended on in the bulk.
You should not have cherished and promoted this dlike scam in the first place.
You have chosen to stay on Steemit and promote these scammers by using their apps, so it is your problem.
We don't care about Steemit and Steemit shills like you.
Stop promoting dlike or you will get downvoted.

"You had the change to become a free-speech alternative to established media. And you blew it. With blacklists added to the very core of the chain. Again, same for Hive"

No clue what you are talking about. Anyone can post whatever they like there as long as it is legal content.
You seem like one of these trolls who confuses freedom of speech with freedom to scam the platform with plagiarism, identity theft, and spam.
Don't thor around phrases like "freedom of speech" if you lack basic education what this means.
