At least softfork222 was the result a heavy discussion between about 50 key players, community members and long term steem users and investors. This move with Forck22.5 and centralisation of the Steem Chain is a power grab with some phone calls to befriended exchanges.
I am sorry I get this whole issue is fucked. But when did the WHOLE community get to vote on soft fork 22.2? I mean this ninja vote by exchanges is not any better and shit should have been done different on both sides.
