Dear Steemit,

Personally I find the so called censorship here to be pretty ineffective, kind of like this:

I mean, you can just click on a "show" box and still see what you want..

But, if the censorship here still bothers you, don't just complain about it! Do something about it!

Leans in close Did you know, you can run your own version of steemit.com, right on your own computer!
That's right! Just look here:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@neoxian/the-super-easy-guide-to-running-steemit-com-on-your-own-machine-using-docker

And what's more, I've written an uncensored patch, that will remove most of the censorship from steemit. No more hidden comments!

Here is the patch:

Save the uncensored patch and call it "uncensored_patch.txt", and save the new docker file. Put them in the same directory, and then follow the instructions from my previous post.

I've already used this to communicate with a very low rep account. Found it very handy.

Happy steeming!
