RE: Thoughts on the Current Experiment and Potential Strategies
In the beginning, I was skeptical with the "experiment" but your post has cleared the thing up a lot in my mind, I've seen another point of view and you have offered good strategies to deal with it
thanks for clarify this
Glad it was helpful! The skepticism is quite ok, I'm not too far off myself, but willing to see where it goes. The 'need' for the flags alone is a huge issue right now that would have to get figured out...that really can't go on indefinitely.
I'll fully admit it's not been without it's problems but I do personally believe that with a little better communication (I sooooo await the day there is a little 'Announcements' icon at the top of the site to help with things like this) and without the need for flags, most the community would be supporting the experiment. (Purely my opinion, I don't really want to speak for everybody.)
i like this: "most the community would be supporting the experiment", maybe there are better solutions but as i said in other replies, it has been a imposition, not a choice.
I do understand. A lot of people do seems to be upset on varying levels that they were forced into something. However, in the end it's really each persons choice to vote how they like. The larger community telling the whales how to vote is also an imposition. To some degree it's a catch-22 to get any group fully onboard since that would require unanimity which is nearly impossible.
On the flip of this though, I don't think this was implemented nearly as well as it could have been. Given more time and clearer communication (to a degree like hard forks which has a minimum of two weeks, usually more like 6-8 weeks) to layout thoughts, proposals, objectives, etc could have gotten more on board or against, but at least there'd have been some chance for feedback. On top of this, users could have chosen to just not participate during the experiment period while it was active. This was rather 'sprung' on the community with little notice and explanation.
