There are so many people involved and they each change from moment to moment, that tracking everything takes a lot of time. I feel what we need is a generally shared understanding of the core features and purposes of Hive - so that we can point to them when issues arise. Anarchy is great but when people are trying to unite for a common cause there has to be some kind of shared vision!

I remember getting downvoted months back by a whale for pushing back on the fascist narrative about what’s happening. I thank you for speaking truth friend. I had some words about it and my new year post I just put up is about it. Check it out. I already follow ya but I will pay extra close attention. You are on same page as me. Cheers to freedom my friend!
Thanks to you too! I checked out some of the Adam Curry site you linked me to - seems like they have some good content on COVID etc.
Each whale seems to have slightly different aims in their downvoting but they are similar enough that they sometimes blur together.
We need governance we don't need anarchy.
We need to be focusing on growing and retaining people rather than running them off.
Now bad actors yes absolutely go ahead and run them off and we need to have a group that helps us with that.
However community members that occasionally bump the rules need to have a way of making that up and as well community involvement in that entire process to free up the individuals who are defending the blockchain.
Next up people who are defending the blockchain need to be known, and in good standing we have had some wrongful reports by over eager new individuals taking advantage of the system for personal gain. That truly does stain reputation of a group that's supposed to be protecting the blockchain..
A key issue is that Hive is literally based on competition, so it makes sense that those who want to extract the most money will do whatever they can to remove competitors. This alone is a major issue that has never been fully addressed through discussion, planning or strategy (publicly) as far as I know. The only solid answer anyone presents is 'buy more stake' - but that isn't really a solution any more than building more nuclear weapons is a solution to the arms race.
Developing an institution for content creators that helps ensure they create the highest quality possible seems like a reasonable approach, but as always people will argue about the details and the form.
DPOS is a mixture of anarchy and governance, but the governance ultimately is defined by wealth and not much else. Without having agreements among the largest stakeholders there is little but demands and ideas turning into hot air.
Like I said we need a balance. Representatives from the coders and witnesses who really can't speak for themselves and be understood.
And then the people and community.
.we need councils for managing this. Not just the current structure. That's needed as well.
But we need some checks and assurances the large whales can't abuse the common people.
We need the community organizing and delegating their own stake, community curation trails and rewards...
