RE: My Take on the New "EIP" Hardfork 21 Announcement
A top 10 witness who is also one of the largest bid-bot owners is trolling this post and telling someone expressing legitimate concerns to leave for a competing blogging site if they don't like it.
This is a microcosm of the larger issues that started with Steem Inc's ninja mining. Only real assholes would abuse this system to max out rewards for themselves, and now they are the ones with the largest stakes and in charge of making decisions for the whole platform that solidify their grasp on power and enrich themselves. It's already limited hangout with self-dealing developers and circle-jerking insiders, where most of the communication about the fate of the network is conducted in secret, without user input and outside the reach of public scrutiny, and the hardfork will exacerbate these problems even more.
I think we might need something akin to a coordinated voting block and way of obtaining power on the network, because as it stands I think they need to go. I completely agree with how they go about discussing the changes. They're on private discord servers and spread out across half a dozen accounts or more and done at odd times. How can anyone consider this considerate or even really public. When I say public, I mean more like a forum, where these discussions happen in a neutral way on a neutral platform like Reddit so we can have outside voices and not fear downvotes affecting anything.
