I can personally guarantee everyone on this network that my voice has been heard many times, and sometimes is even acted upon, which is pretty cool when you think about it. Everyone has their part to play.
What are there, like 10k active users? Not even close to a parallel comparison.
"We should be having town-hall meetings and discussing these things in a public forum." Great idea, bruv. What in the actual fuck do you think is happening right now? lol. Cut the shit: you're not a victim.
Nice strawman you're building here
Your hyperbole is entertaining I guess, which is why you get those votes.
After the wash, Hive ends up being the exact structure as the hated US government, except you can vote witnesses out at anytime. The inherent complacency of the average human ensures that will be unlikely at any scale that's necessary to improve on the governance structure.
Stake based governance guarantees that an Oligarchy will arise, which it has and be in control when they feel like it. As we are discussing the issue, the one claiming to be asking for a discussion was already signalling 12%. They've since changed it, but shows that we can talk all we want, it's just to make us feel better, because our input is not only unnecessary, but since there's no polling, assumptions will be made claiming the end result is what we wanted.
I've seen this exact thing go down that way multiple times in the past and it's unproveable without polling if something is actually supported by the majority. Also, deny all you want, a bottleneck in governance of 21 people cannot be decentralized. Rationalizations do not equal facts.
Hive is not a democracy, never was, never will be, doesn't pretend to operate on that model.
It's dpos and it takes a handful of people to make the arguement, because the stake based system is geared to investors. It operates more closely to a corporation than a democracy. I know you didn't use the word democracy, but I thught it was interesting that you seem to think the stakeholders should react to the talking points and discussion.
Stake rules, doesn't make them right, or smart or good or bad for that matter, just means it takes a handful of them to outvote the rest of the community.
In a corporation usually takes 1. Shrugs, if you know it's DPOS the only thing to judge is whether or not you trust and respect the stakeholder.
Right, which is why we can't get the masses here. Decentralization is a dream that's touted, but not practiced. Hell, by @edicted's defintion of it, the US Gov is decentralized. As for a democracy? None exist nor ever have. That's doesn't mean things shouldn't be talked out with as many heads involved as possible. Also, your point doesn't mean that anyone has to roll over and shut up without a fight either.
