RE: Steemit will not resist censorship: it will bring super-censorship and downvote wars
Hopefully you are right and that will bring more diversity of successful content, but I don't think it will help truly controversial (not evil, not hateful, but controversial) content.
The First Amendment doesn't say "shall make no laws regard Free Speech... unless it's hateful." Hateful thoughts will still exist, and will find voice in other ways, You can't stop it by silencing it. You can only educate, and do what Gandhi suggested - be the change you want to see in the world, not force the change you want to see in the world. If you initiate aggression against hateful people, how are you better than they?
Truth. Thank you.
