The code that forms the blockchain is FOSS, and there have been attempts to fork the blockchain to eliminate the plutocratic stakes that centralize power, and create a truly decentralized blockchain.
So far, I haven't seen an attempt succeed, but the software is FOSS, and there will be more.
That's probably the likeliest scenario that would meet the needs you appear to share with most of us.
I remain confident that progress is inevitable, that forks will create it, and will eventually work out for the best.
I am not convinced I will see that happen from my present meat prison. Things are absolutely malleable, and I am incompetent to weigh the actors and their hidden goals to arrive at confident near term predictions.
Regardless of how things shake out, I'm certain that I will continue to act on principle, and so far I find other values of Steemit more rewarding than mere financial concerns.

The ramifications depend on the forkers.
So essentially fork of and create a different Steemit of sorts?

I would be pretty surprised to find that changed.
