HF21 talk

in steem •  5 years ago 

We have Dan Larimer to thank for these rushed decisions on STEEM. If he wouldn't have created the "Steemit killer", nobody would have tried to hastily turn STEEM economy upside down and hope it still works afterwards. We, the community, have a voice (fragmented on this matter), Dan's voice is just louder and Steemit is afraid (before we see what's really about, or maybe they already know...).

I think its time to discuss if we want to steemit to be the head of this. Every day steemit looks more like a vassal system that a decentralized system.

Not to mention that im aware that talking about this can end in a flag bot over my head.

This is a complicated matter. Yes, we can use more decentralization, but at times we also need coordinated efforts. That's where Steem Alliance should have their place, but I don't really know what is their situation now.

Well... I feel like a buzzkiller, but they dont seem to care much about nothing more than money...

Money always have a strange effect on people.

Yeah, but that short minded view can destroy the entire ecosystem.

Well, "money" were always part of Steem, and people think of it, so unless we plan on removing the rewards, we have to deal with the amplified reactions based on effects to people's wallets.

That's a "problem" regular social media sites (still) don't have.

Totally agree.

On the other hands, we need to start participating on the decission making somehow, i mean, we have an entire voting system, its curious how we are not able to choose.

I was thinking on authenticate users. Have a parlament and get closest to a democracy, for monarchys we have facebook and twitter

In theory, our governance is assured by witnesses, which we can vote in or out of their positions.

In practice, it's pretty hard for community voted witnesses to accede to Top 20. Not impossible though. But still there are 20 places in Top 20, and a super majority means 17.
