RE: [PROXY] Do you agree to remove downvote pool in Hardfork23 as a witness?

in #witness4 years ago

The appraisal system is nowhere near ready in terms of analysis of game theory and incentives, much less coding, but as you say it could be considered for a future fork. If it can be made to work soundly I'd be open to it.

Awesome, yeah I meant it more of a long-term idea, certainly not for the coming HF. I really like the fact that the appraisal model removes the stigma of downvotes. Recently I watched an episode of a series called The Orville which showed a planet with a social justice dystopia where there are no rules or laws, instead there is mob-law where society decides based on a whim whether someone should be punished and how it can go overboard with mob-downvoting.

This YT video does a good job of summarising the episode called "Majority Rules"

The warp-drive civilisation of earth found this planet's methods of democracy to be crude and unadvanced, which made me think that perhaps Steem is just as crude as it stands now.
