RE: Do you really, really believe in protecting FREESPEECH?
There's always some semblance of comfort in that last line of your post, always makes want to find something to scathe about....lol. It's almost like yes!, yes! someone who doesn't mind an opposing opinion.
I agree with freezepeach initiative, they came along and cleaned up one of my articles once that got downvoted. For the most part I agree that people should have a right to say whatever is on their minds, especially in a forum who trots that it is a censorship free platform. The only hard part I have is that less than one percent whom though I agree has a right to say what they are saying but I wouldn't support what they are saying. I think when promoting freezespeech there should be a disclaimer that the views reflected in posts aren't necessarily the views held by those supporting freezespeech that just the right to express those views are....or something along those similar lines. A lot of people lack compression and couldn't distinguish the difference on their own if their life depended upon it. Next thing you know just because you supported freezespeech who upvoted some post on nazi sympathizers you are all of a sudden a nazi.
They came for the name-callers and I said nothing, because I'm not a name-caller.
They came for the Christians and I said nothing, because I'm not a Christian.
They came for the conspiracy theorists and I said nothing, because I'm not insane.
Then they came for the independently minded skeptics, and those types never stand up for anyone but themselves, so they were easy-pickins.

First they came ...
"First they came ..." is the poetic form of a prose post-war confession first made in German in 1946 by the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984). It is about the cowardice of German intellectuals and certain clergy (including, by his own admission, Niemöller himself) following the Nazis' rise to power and subsequent incremental purging of their chosen targets, group after group. Many variations and adaptations in the spirit of the original have been published in the English language. It deals with themes of persecution, guilt, repentance, and responsibility.
I celebrate criticism.
People who surround themselves with sycophants (echo-chamber-bubble-heads) are never going to find the best ideas.
And of course, I rely heavily on this famous quote,
I Disapprove of What You Say, But I Will Defend to the Death Your Right to Say It
I don't know what the process is to delegate steem, being the request is for one wouldn't it be easier just to donate them one or is there some reason that's better to delegate.
Just go here, https://steemworld.org/@sunlit7
Click "delegate" on the left, then "delegate..." at the top right.
Enter the @ username and the amount you'd like to delegate, then it will ask for your "active key" to authorize.
Delegation is superior because it shows your support and because you can adjust it, or retract it at any time, so it's a little less "scammy". I also like it because it serves as a list of accounts I'm interested in. The "followed by" and "following" lists get a bit unwieldy, but the "outgoing delegations" can be tweaked at any time and lets me show support with something other than my fractional (practically meaningless) upvotes.
Also, I like how you can hover over the names and it shows their stats and how much steem-power they currently have.
I see something that says delegation history....is that what you are talking about?

I give, what's the secret? lol. I've clicked everything and fail to have the same results you found.

That same page lets you easily view new followers and track mentions!
Wow you have a lot of confidence in me, I haven't even found where to delegate at yet and you have hopes I'll find new followers and mentions.
Just like people who think that just because you mentioned something that sounded vaguely positive about bi.tcoin, that makes you some sort of hacker-ransomware-pirate!
