The time to decide against particular portions of the package has past. We don’t get to pick and choose parts at this point, we either accept the changes as a package or we don’t.

Open Letter to all Steemians - Hardfork 21: Culture Change
I mean, I'd say everyone should reject the package as a whole and then implement a package without the curve. You've all been aware of this problem the whole time, but it seems like it's been too late to change anything since it was announced. Someone has to be willing to do the right thing even when there's tremendous pressure to go along with what was decided by others.

There was a lot of discussion about this prior to the hardfork being developed. There is consensus among the witnesses to proceed forward. You frame it as the “right” vs. “wrong” thing, but it is not that simple. I do not think that what we are doing is wrong, otherwise I would not be voting for it. The hardfork is the best deal we could come up with to try and fix our issues that could be developed in a reasonable amount of time and be accepted by a super majority of witnesses.

Fair enough.
You know how many of us are frustrated, though, right? There was to be community feedback on the proposed changes. Before we had a chance to point out the flaws and suggest fixes, it was a done deal. All we can do now is oppose it. And since the changes do especially benefit those with large stakes and we aren't far enough into this for the stake to have significantly decentralized, it's not something that even a bunch of dolphins can effectively oppose, let alone minnows.
It will be harder than ever to decentralize, as the funds will flow to those who can get whale votes even more, which has always proved to be whales themselves.
We all hope I'm wrong at this point, but if hopes were horses, we'd be crushed in a stampede.

I do. There was a lot of feedback taken into account before consensus was reached. There was a lot of back and forth, push and pull. In my view, this really was the best possible deal that we could all reach. I am excited and hopeful that this HF will be a really big (positive) deal and that six months from now Steem will be a very different (better) place. I'm of course worried too, for all the same reasons that you are. The results of all this are going to be impossible to predict, so at this point all we can do is hope for the best and do what we can on an individual level to turn this into the place we all want it to be.

Which witnesses were pushing for the curve to be like what you landed on?
I'd love to see some whales commit to alleviating the reduction.
I proposed this to markymark and he seemed receptive, but I haven't seen anything since. I'll pitch it to you as well.
Create a whitelist of non-abusive users.
Delegate to a bot which:
Checks posts by users on the whitelist for vote values below the linearity threshold
Calculates what the Steem payout will be in EIP and compare it to what the same rshares would have been pre 21.
Upvote the difference so it pays out in Steem the same way it would have.
If this is really going to be good for everyone, the bot shouldn't be very necessary. But if it's terrible for most good users, it's absolutely necessary to keep this hf from punishing good behavior.
I'm especially worried about comments.

If anyone wants to put in the work to do this, they can use the SPS to request funding.

@holger80! You should totally do this.

Sps projects get voted for by stake weighting as well, though right? So what are the chances something that benefits minnows at the expense of whales would ever be approved if we can't even stop the excesses of EIP?
It seems small users are up the proverbial creek insofar as control over their destinies is concerned.

Does it have to be framed as a zero sum game? Believe it or not, there are stakeholders here who see value in rewarding users who are contributing value.
