The community was solving its own problems until stunc chased away the very people that cared about this issue, claiming it as retribution for the bent feelers.
Well look around, geniuses, the reward pool reap is going full throttle.
I propose we elect a dictator, because dictatorships always solve the problems.
Especially the benevolent ones. /S
But don't let me stop you from putting your heads in a noose, maybe it will work out for the best,...
Edited to add potential solutions.
500mv vote cap.
4 post soft cap, diminising returns for post 5+.
Cut poor tax from 20steem to 10.

Not helping them, helping me.
I need to get paid for the for years of being ignored because I was too far from the class.

I disagree, the community never had a chance to solve its problems, all we had were hard fork after hard fork based solely on the idea of how the big guys could milk the system. That was the one big problem with Steemit.

But the community did a good job trying to solve the problem. When Steem is forgotten maybe some other system can use that fact.

Ok, that is your opinion of it, it certainly isn't mine. And I have been here slightly more than you have so I guess both our opinions should be taken into account.

I didn't mean that the community efforts solved the problems of the platform. Most of them didn't have enough power to do that, but the actual work and the spirit in which it was done was good. Did you ever participate in any of it?
I will always listen to other people's opinion, but arguments and experience is more important to me than how long you have been on the network.

Yes I did, but I never went on Discord. To me this is like any country, you can discuss things, come up with ideas, shout, threaten, strike or whatever and in the end what is done is what the rich and powerful want. The community is worth zero.

Well, I participated long time before there was anyone who used Discord (which I hate using). There was something called Steemit chat back then integrated in the website.
I agree that this never was any better than what you see elsewhere, but I think you are just being bitter. Yes, this place was corrupted from the start, but maybe not that surprising. Proof of stake mean that the rich decide. This place had a lot of design errors for sure, and I don't think Steemit can be saved, but that doesn't mean I will give up on the community. I live in a country were democracy works pretty well, but only because people do not not say that community is worth zero, and because corruption is not accepted.

Well, to be fair to stinc, they did deliver a working platform.
It isn't unreasonable for them to expect to get paid.
How they went about it was inept, but spoiled kids gonna spoil what they touch.
Ned had little chance of an alternative, and without the wisdom of age, none at all, imo.
So far, stunc hasn't made many noticeable changes in relation to normie users, so my jury is still out on that.

Actually I think things were already in a pretty bad shape when @dan left and nobody ever tried to really fix things. Well it is difficult to attribute fault on a person or a group of persons, Steemit was the first all that could have happened, happened. It did manage to survive. I would think the people at Hive will have taken some lessons from this and will not repeat the mistakes.

Agree with that, Ned ran Dan off to line his pockets, and Dan had permission to change the world.
Now, not so much.
