RE: How Steem has altered my beliefs towards freedom of speech
Maybe a bad example...
Downvoting content I disagree with. If I dont like Trump downvoting Pro-Trumps articles and the other way around.

Yes, I think you should feel free to downvote content to express a negative opinion about it. Think of it as the downvote on Reddit or thumbs down on YouTube.
Then, I hope that "Flag" will be renamed to "Downvote" and moved next to the "Upvote" button. Because it's confusing for many users the way it is now.
I think this is the source of much of the strife. I've been told "Flag" used to be "Downvote" in the UI but I don't know when that changed or what the rationale was. So long as "Flag" acts like a downvote then it should be labeled as such. Then we'd have way more people downvoting, it wouldn't feel like special (bad) treatment and people would just get over it (eventually).
Exactly! And it shouldn't need a hard fork to switch to "downvote".
No it won't - just a label in the Steemit UI. I note that busy.org and the esteem mobile apps (soon to be a webapp too) use "Flag" instead of downvote.
