These people deserve their Hive and reasonable compensations for their inflation losses and pains and sufferings.
But yeah, it's a centralized solution to an error made by a centralized decision. Just another example of the risks and dangers associated with centralized decision making.
Truthfully, they define decentralization to suit their given narrative at the time. Today it means no Justin Sun or Steemit, which is reasonable. Tomorrow, who knows? Perhaps a reward is due?
The power to move around hive in the dao without a vote in this case seems just. They assure us it won't happen again, just like last time. Just like Justin assured us.
Let's pray it won't happen again amd again and again. I have my doubts.
