Looks like I'm late to the party.
Communities won't even work if the plan is to strip the Hive token's functionalities. Not sure what needs to be improved if suddenly members can only work for random shit coins only, most of which won't even be able to get off the ground if Hive isn't there to provide a main layer of support. People will simply flock to the tiny handful of communities with actual rewards, if those even exist. With this market being so small now, it's ridiculous to think all current stake holders will take an interest in all community tokens in order to support all community members. If the plan is to strip Hive's reward pool, scrap the plans, halt development, put a fork in it, because it's done.
