RE: Community Forks - Theory vs. Practice

in #fork3 years ago

To content creators on hive, it feels like the platform is growing and is fully funtional, but to be honest, is not like that, is barely on infant stage, and it's just learning how to walk and move, an example of that is the constant born of new tokens, games, and communitys on it.

They are booming with grow because is just starting, we can only grow up front now on. But there will be challenges, sooner than later community forks will add slight problems we could do nothing about, not willout establishing autoritys that would centralize power and we would go back to steemit.

So we have to find ways to democratically push fowar governance systems, the recent problem on proof of brain show us that the current governance of some of the communitys are not enought for keeping in check the problems that born in it.

The proof of stake seens to be unbalance and in proof of brain was not enought to keep the ship going willout problems, the whole voting problem between proofofbrainio and some downvoter, and the current decent of proof of brain token value, show us that proof of stake is still a bit centraliced, and we need to create a better way to shield users than this.

The whole idea of eliminating downvotes at all is also wrong, communitys should be able to self censor content that is to be outlawed, noone would like to see CP, human traffict or drug markets on hive, but just adding rules makes people feel trapped because we supose to be descentraliced and free of censorship in firts place, so we need entitys like hivewatchers to keep in check agains that kind of content.

We need a more democratic system to rule where, and who, gets to run the token generation system, and how they are to be keep working in every community, if someone can just burn tokens to push the value up, they can tamper with the token value and modify the power balance on the hive blockchain.

We need to find a balance on the communitys, there are still problems but im sure and i have FAITH that the communitys are the way to go fowar, centralization is wrong, we already try that on the internet 2.0 and it went WRONG.
