RE: The Shit Post Diaries 1/12/18 (#2)
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.
The ramifications depend on the forkers.
So essentially fork of and create a different Steemit of sorts?
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.
I would be pretty surprised to find that changed.
