Hi @helo, many thanks for taking the time to look us up in Discord and alert us in the witness inquiry channel there. Curie is an apolitical organization; the "not voting for other witness" thing is intentional, you could read more on that in our whitepaper at curiesteem.com if you want. Our new witness operator will definitely not be a stranger in the witness chat and slack. Cheers - Carl (Curie community representative)
